Hi,
I would like to highlight a few notes from SoS Meeting Bookkeeping:
* We're still looking for a backup facilitator. 👀
* We're still looking for feedback if this meeting is useful. If it is, is
there anything we could do to make it more useful?
** SoS is really useful to Release Engineering because we are frequently
blocked by various teams because of train. We also frequently block other
teams because we're in charge of continuous integration (CI).
** Should we make the meeting notes as short as possible, so interested
people could read all of it? One step in that direction could be removing
teams that did not leave any updates.

Greetings,
This is the weekly update from the Search Platform team for the week
starting 2019-05-20.
As always, feedback and questions are welcome.
== Highlights==
* Most of the team attended a three-day offsite in Prague last week,
and Deb, Erik, Stas, and Trey also attended the Wikimedia Hackathon.
[0]
== Discussions ==
=== Search ===
* At the Hackathon, we hosted a session on "Advanced search syntax for
newbies" [1]—and we had a few in-depth discussions with volunteers
about search, our APIs, etc., and talked more in-depth about Arabic
and Slovak.
**As a result of our discussion, Trey opened a ticket to investigate
the effects of searching without diacritics in Slovak. [2]
*Trey completed a change to Arabic-language completion suggester
(upper left search box) to make Eastern Arabic Numerals and Western
Arabic Numerals equivalent. [3] It will still take a little while for
the change to be seen on-wiki.
* Stas made a set of preliminary patches to convert CirrusSearch
extension to extension.json registration (merged) and final conversion
patch still in review [4]
* David worked on several tasks to create a fallback method based on a
generic index [5]; making fallback methods configurable [6]; and
allowing the FallbackMethod to create their own SearchQuery [7]
* We noticed that multiple Elasticsearch nodes were getting overloaded
in eqiad in April - Erik patched it and found a few things that might
have caused the issues [8]
* When enabling cross cluster search to support multi-instance we had
to run custom scripts to update cluster settings -- and discovered
that the puppet repo was not aware of this; it's fixed now [9]
* Erik did a smorgasbord of fixes: "missing replica" error messages in
production logs was fixed by uniquely identify connections in
connection pool [10]; create archive indices and delete archive docs
from general indices and to ignore ancient logging rows with log_page
= null [11]; fixed a condition where we received a
cirrusSearchElasticaWrite job for an unwritable cluster cloudelastic
[12]; and documented the CirrusSearch schema [13].
* During the Hackathon, Erik also exposed CloudElastic to the WMF Cloud [14]
=== Wikidata Query Service ===
* At the Hackathon, with the help of Krinkle, the bug with URL
shortener widget being hard to use was fixed [15]
* WDQS bug with label service clauses nested in subqueries being
processed incorrectly was fixed [16]
* Stas fixed breakage in LDF server JSON-LD format [17]
== Did you know? ==
'''Naming Things is Hard, Volume 187:''' The Phab ticket mentioned
above to equate different numeral systems for Arabic-language wikis
uses the names Eastern Arabic Numerals (١٢٣...) and Western Arabic
Numerals (123…). In English, the numerals we usually use (123...) are
often called “Arabic numerals” [18] because they came to Europe from
Arabic sources. In Arabic, the Eastern Arabic Numerals are called
“Indian numerals” [19] because they came from Indian sources. In
English, “Indian numerals” refer to the numerals used in India
(१२३...) but they are just called “Devanagari numerals” in Hindi, for
example. [20] Some have tried to make the subtle distinction in
English that “arabic numerals” are the numerals that came from Arabic
sources (123...), while “Arabic numerals” are the ones that are used
by Arabic speakers (١٢٣...).
It’s also interesting to look at a table of the various related
numeral systems [21] and see the similarities and “false friends”—note
that your fonts may vary: Devanagari 7 looks like a 6 (“७”), Arabic 6
looks like a 7 (“٦”), Gujarati 5 looks like a 4 (“૫”), Bengali 4 looks
like an 8 (“৪”), Gurmukhi 1 looks like a 9 (“੧”), etc. But any of
those systems are MMMDCCXXIV times better than Roman numerals! [22]

Hello everyone,
I'm excited to announce that we've released OOUI v0.32.0 yesterday.
Key highlights of this release (summarizing since v0.31.0):
- DropdownInputWidgets now provide native OS menus on mobile.
- Tabs are now also available in 'frameless' flavor and mobile
behaviour has been improved.
Thanks to Ed Sanders for the work on that.
- Several highly used icons saw another size-reduction effort by Thiemo Kreuz.
Saving big in scale of our projects. Thanks Thiemo.
- SelectFileWidget has seen a dozen improvements (a.o. supports
multiple file uploads and is available in PHP)
The demos have seen both, usability and navigation improvements as
result of work focus at Hackathon. Check them out![0]
Apart from above, there are also possible breaking changes in this release:
Please carefully consider if they affect your code.
- SelectWidget: Drop depressed CSS class, which got deprecated in v0.30.4.
- Toolbar: Remove support for non-tool buttons.
- Drop `web` icon, deprecated in v0.30.4, in this release
removed completely. Use 'browser' instead.
You can find details on additional new features, code-level and accessibility
changes, styling and interaction design amendments, and all
improvements since v0.31.0 in the full changelog[1].
If you have any further queries or need help dealing with breaking
changes, please let me know.
As always, interactive demos[0] and library documentation is available
on mediawiki.org[2], there is comprehensive generated code-level
documentation and interactive demos and tutorials hosted on
doc.wikimedia.org[3].
OOUI version: 0.32.0
MediaWiki version: 1.34.0-wmf.8
Date of deployment to production: Regular train, starting Tuesday 04 June

I was happy to read this announcement
<https://lists.wikimedia.org/pipermail/wikimedia-l/2019-May/092570.html> by
Amir regarding improvements for typing in African languages on Wikimedia
projects. (I hope that the translation of the subject of this week's email
is correct.)
I thought that this
<https://lists.wikimedia.org/pipermail/wikitech-l/2019-May/092083.html> was
an interesting WMF Tech Talk regarding WMF and W3C. I felt that it was
encouraging that WMF staff on the call wanted to support the needs and
wishes of Wikimedia readers and contributors. Thank you to WMF for
publicizing this meeting and for collaborating with W3C.
Thank you to engineering and technical staff who take initiative to respond
to problems in a timely and constructive way. Someone who comes to mind is
James Forrester, who has endured years of complaints regarding
VisualEditor. Over time WMF has polished the tool's rough edges, greatly
improved its performance, and added significant functionality. I know that
hearing a barrage of complaints can be difficult, such as happens in this video
clip <https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LBrK7mqceBs> from *Star Trek: Deep
Space Nine* that is hosted on Youtube. (Yes, another *Star Trek* video. The
title of the episode is shown at the start of the video, which is why it
displays "Honor Among Thieves".) I appreciate James' calm demeanor,
willingness to listen, responsiveness, patience, and perseverance.
What's making you happy this week? You are welcome to comment in any
language.

Hi,
for HTML version, see
https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Scrum_of_scrums/2019-05-29
Thank you for feedback. As an experiment, this week's notes don't have any
empty sections. That should make them shorter and easier to read.
To make meeting notes even easier to read, is there a tool that would
convert links to wikitext?

==== Community Tech ====
* Updates:
** Work on Dark Mode is delayed to ensure we are doing the right work with
the right collaboration. We are currently updating all the Tool Labs tools
we own to prepare for the Actor migration. If users or devs have issues
with these tools, let us know. The work is moving quickly but due to some
missing indices on the new tables in the replicas, our queries are much too
slow. This is causing occasional application errors for users as the
queries time out.
==== Anti-Harassment Tools ====
* Updates:
** We are near completion of the refactor of Block. There will be changes
to the ways developers use Blocks. The work is done in this task primarily:
https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T222737. We will be sending an email to
wikitech-l with details and examples. Most of the documentation is already
updated or will be updated soon.
