=== Editing === ==== Collaboration ==== * '''*Blocking'''*: ** Dry run patch for external store migration is merged. Now we need to set External Store up on Beta, then test the dry run patch there: https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T119567 * '''*Blocked'''*: ** Flow dump generation on dumps.wikimedia.org: https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T119511 * '''*Updates*'''*:* ** Human-readable name patch is almost done: https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T121936 ** Cross-wiki notifications will soon be rolled out to "real" wikis (currently in production it is only on test and test2): *** 'testwikidatawiki' *** 'wikidatawiki' *** 'mediawikiwiki' *** 'commonswiki' *** 'hewiki' *** 'hewikibooks' *** 'hewikinews' *** 'hewikiquote' *** 'hewikisource' *** 'hewikivoyage' *** 'hewiktionary' *** 'frwiki' *** 'frwikibooks' *** 'frwikinews' *** 'frwikiquote' *** 'frwikisource' *** 'frwikiversity' *** 'frwikivoyage' *** 'frwiktionary'
==== Language ==== * '''*Blocking'''*: ** I have got some pings outside SoS, but don't know if those are blocking ** Packages for Jessie requested to speed up * '''*Blocked'''*: nope * '''*Updates*'''*:* **
==== Multimedia ====
* '''*Blocking'''*: Not that I know of. * '''*Blocked'''*: *Metrics work* currently paused pending some burning questions for *halfak*, MarkTraceur to sit down with him this week. *Look out, Security*, we're hoping to get security review on a *new extension* (see below) in the next few months. * '''*Updates*'''*:* ** Labs instance with *ImageTweaks* (name WIP) going up today, *email to (wikitech|commons|multimedia)-l* later tonight ** Some work on *NewFiles*, in particular *filtering by tag*, but it's not going super. MatmaRex wanted some extra eyes on it, but I think he's contacted someone already.
==== Parsing ==== * '''*Blocking'''*: ??? * '''*Blocked'''*: ??? * '''*Updates*'''*:* ** The templatedata-based serialization patch ( https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/#/c/264043/ ) didn't go out this week after all -- yet to be reviewed. Possible it will get reviewed this week. ** Parsoid testing services (parsoid rt-testing; parsoid <--> php-parser html visual diff testing) fully puppetized and operational on ruthenium. Work ongoing to enable visual diff testing between production mediawiki and a non-production mediawiki (to test for example changes to parsing) using labs hardware ( https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T120345 ). *** Would appreciate help from anyone familiar with hiera (to configure labs hardware to use existing puppet roles, and making any additional tweaks). ** This week, Arlo will start Parsoid-side work to separate out data-mw into its own RESTBase bucket -- deployment is still some ways away. We need to finalize REST API versioning policy ( https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T124365 ) and also have all the various Parsoid clients updated. We will create phab tickets for dependent projects once T124365 is resolved. *** Last week, Flow, Services, and us had a meeting and figured out a strategy for Flow since they use VE, but also talk with Parsoid (and not RESTBase). ** Parsoid native implementation for <gallery> is underway (heads up: CX, VE, Flow, Reading) *** https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/P2506 is the spec for Parsoid's output if you want to provide feedback *** https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/#/c/264026/ is the WIP patch ** Tim working to collect source location information in the PHP preprocessor for errors / warnings and a way to expose them. Useful in general, but, also specifically in the context of work related to replacying Tidy.
