Google Code-in: Get your tasks for young contributors prepared

by Andre Klapper

(An early heads-up that Google Code-in 2017 has been announced.) GCI is an annual contest for 13-17 year old students. It will take place from Nov28 to Jan17 and is not only about coding tasks. For some achievements from last round, see https://blog.wikimedia.org/2017/02/03/google-code-in/ For complete info about Google Code-in, check https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Google_Code-in/Mentors While we wait whether Wikimedia will get accepted: * You have small, self-contained bugs you'd like to see fixed? * Your documentation needs specific improvements? * Your user interface has small design issues? * Your Outreachy/Summer of Code project welcomes small tweaks? * You'd enjoy helping someone port your template to Lua? * Your gadget code uses some deprecated API calls? * You have tasks in mind that welcome some research? Also note that "Beginner tasks" (e.g. "Set up Vagrant" etc) and "generic" tasks are very welcome (e.g. "Choose & fix 2 PHP7 issues from the list in https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T120336 "). Because we will need hundreds of tasks. :) And we also have more than 400 unassigned open 'easy' tasks listed: https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/maniphest/query/HCyOonSbFn.z/#R Please take a moment to find / update [Phabricator etc.] tasks in your p roject(s) which would take an experienced contributor 2-3 hours. Check https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Google_Code-in/Mentors and please ask if you have any questions! Thanks!, andre -- Andre Klapper | Wikimedia Bugwrangler http://blogs.gnome.org/aklapper/

The target revision does not exist

by Bináris

We have Flagged Revs in huwiki. This edit was made by an anon, and an admin hid the inappropriate summary. https://hu.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=S%C3%BClys%C3%A1p&curid=45101&di… After this we couldn't review the version. The message was: Unable to review this revision. The target revision does not exist. (Source fo English text: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MediaWiki:Revreview-failed and https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MediaWiki:Review_bad_oldid) In fact the revision did exist, only the edit summary was hidden. Is this a bug or a feature? :-) I am not very familiar with Phabricator, so is there a ticket for this feature already? -- Bináris

Fwd: [Wikimedia-l] Diversity Award for the mentoring program of the 2017 Wikimedia Hackathon in Vienna

by Quim Gil

FYI ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Claudia Garád <claudia.garad(a)wikimedia.at> Date: Thu, Sep 28, 2017 at 3:39 PM Subject: [Wikimedia-l] Diversity Award for the mentoring program of the 2017 Wikimedia Hackathon in Vienna To: wikimedia-l(a)lists.wikimedia.org Hello everyone! We wanted to share some good news with you: Our international team around the Wikimedia Hackathon mentoring program won the first Austrian Open Source Award in the category "Diversity" [1]. The Austrian Open Source Award was established this year in order to raise awareness and visibility for our local Open Source Communities and their projects. The jury consisted of representatives from across the various Open Communities in Austria (Open Knowledge, Linux, and Drupal among others) and honoured outstanding projects in the categories Open Data, Open Software, Open Hardware, and Diversity. The Jury particularly mentioned our comprehensive documentation under a free license which enables other event organizers to apply our ideas and concepts and to build on them [2] [3]. We are very happy about this positive signal for inclusive events, which make it easier for all newcomers to join our great communities and we hope it encourages even more people to also make our other Wikimedia events more and more newcomer friendly. A special thanks goes to our awesome mentors who were the heart and soul of the mentoring program and the Hackathon! For more information about what we learned around the mentoring program you can also check out our post from the Wikimedia Blog [4].
