Sure, we can do that!

Hello everyone,
Wikimedia is participating in the winter edition of this year's Outreachy <
https://www.outreachy.org/> [1] (December 2022–March 2023)! The deadline to
submit projects on the Outreachy website is September 30th, 2022. We are
currently working on a list of interesting project ideas. If you have some
ideas for coding or non-coding (design, documentation, translation,
outreach, research) projects, share them here: <
https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T313361> [2].
*About the Outreachy program*
Outreachy offers three-month internships to work remotely in Free and Open
Source Software (FOSS), coding, and non-coding projects with experienced
mentors. These internships run twice a year–from May to August and December
to March. Interns are paid a stipend of USD 7000 for the three months of
work. Interns often find employment after their internship with Outreachy
sponsors or jobs that use the skills they learned during their internship.
This program is open to both students and non-students. Outreachy expressly
invites the following people to apply:
* Women (both cis and trans), trans men, and genderqueer people.
* Anyone who faces under-representation, systematic bias, or discrimination
in the technology industry in their country of residence.
* Residents and nationals of the United States of any gender who are
Black/African American, Hispanic/Latinx, Native American/American Indian,
Alaska Native, Native Hawaiian, or Pacific Islander.
See a blog post highlighting the experiences and outcomes of interns who
participated in a previous round of Outreachy with Wikimedia <
https://techblog.wikimedia.org/2021/06/02/outreachy-round-21-experiences-an…>
[3]
*Tips for mentors for proposing projects*
* Follow this task description template when you propose a project in
Phabricator: <
https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/tag/outreach-programs-projects> [4]. Add
#Outreachy-Round-25 tag.
* Project should require an experienced developer ~15 days and a newcomer
~3 months to complete.
* Each project should have at least two mentors, with one of them holding a
technical background.
* Ideally, the project has no tight deadlines, a moderate learning curve,
and fewer dependencies on Wikimedia's core infrastructure. Projects
addressing the needs of a language community are most welcome.
* If you don't have an idea in mind and would like to pick one from an
existing list, check out these projects: <
https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/tag/outreach-programs-projects/> [4]
* To learn more about the roles and responsibilities of mentors, visit our
resources on MediaWiki.org: <
https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Outreachy/Mentors> [5].
We look forward to your participation!
Cheers,

Hi everyone!
I'm happy to announce that the beloved Community Tech team (the folks

2022-09-14 for a chat on Zoom.
All details are on Meta [1]; your support in translating the message and
getting the word out is welcome, as usual.
Bonus!
They have a mini-survey for you (also at [1]). Please consider taking a few
minutes to let them know what you would like to see covered in future
meetings. You can leave your thoughts on the talk page. [2]
For everything related to this announcement and the event, please contact
Karolin Siebert (ksiebert(a)wikimedia.org).
Thanks for your attention!

Hello!
Thanks to everyone who took the time to provide their valuable feedback on
the Toolhub taxonomy[0]!
After a round of community feedback and input, we made the following
decisions about which categories and values to implement in the first
productionized version of the taxonomy.
=== Summary of Changes ===
1.
Exclude the proposed Programming language attribute.
2.
Exclude the proposed Platform attribute
3.
Revise the Tasks attribute values:
1.
Remove "Creating or uploading content"
2.
Add "Creating new content"
3.
Rename "Generating and recommending content" to "Recommending content"
4.
Revise the Content types attribute values:
1.
Add additional level of hierarchy to group content types and enable
both broad or specific values to be applied.
2.
Remove "Files".
3.
Split "Maps" and "Geographic Data"
Find more details of additional changes on the decision record log page[0]
=== Next Steps ===
The team will continue to observe and improve the taxonomy as the community
continues to use Toolhub.
We will monitor tags and community created lists to determine if certain
attributes would be useful or feasible in the future.

Hi,
it looks like there is nobody who can work on a bug or production error
like this: https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T316858
I don't think, that this is a production error but really a bug. If it's
not possible to open a page (
https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Benutzer:Doc_Taxon/Test4 ) because of running
into timeout, the time should be increased to open the page to get the
content of this page.
Is there really nobody from WMF or a volunteer who can help me with this
issue? If you know somebody feel free to name him/her for contacting
him/her.
Thank you very much
Martin (aka Doc Taxon) ...
I just got the attached email. Is this just fishing, or is this actually some wikimedia thing for real?
I host spi-tools in github. I have no plans to move it to gitlab. Why has somebody created it on gitlab for me and invited me to be an owner?

Hey all,
This is a quick note to highlight that in six weeks' time, the REL1_39
branch will be created for MediaWiki core and each of the extensions and
skins in Wikimedia git, with some (the 'tarball') included as sub-modules
of MediaWiki itself[0]. This is the first step in the release process for
MediaWiki 1.39, which should be out in November 2022, approximately
six months after MediaWiki 1.38.
The branches will reflect the code as of the last 'alpha' branch for the
release, 1.39.0-wmf.28, which will be deployed to Wikimedia wikis in the
week beginning 12 September 2022 for MediaWiki itself and those extensions
and skins available there.
After that point, patches that land in the main development branch of
MediaWiki and its bundled extensions and skins will be slated for the
MediaWiki 1.40 release unless specifically backported[1].
If you are working on a new feature that you wish to land for the release,
you now have a few days to finish your work and land it in the development
branch; feature changes should not be backported except in an urgent case.
If your work might not be complete in time, and yet should block release
for everyone else, please file a task against the `mw-1.39-release` project
on Phabricator.[2]
If you have tickets that are already tagged for `mw-1.39-release`, please
finish them, untag them, or reach out to get them resolved in the next few
weeks.
We hope to issue the first release candidate, 1.39.0-rc.0, two weeks after
the branch point, and if all goes well, to release MediaWiki 1.39.0 a few
weeks after that.
