From this week on I'm going to regularly blog about small & not so easy to discover functionality in Bugzilla. It's based on conversations with Wikimedia users & developers in the last months. That's you! ;)
The first one covers Bugzilla's Autocompletion feature: http://blogs.gnome.org/aklapper/2013/06/14/bugzillatips-autocompletion/
Neat! :-) Thanks for doing this. I'm looking forward to future posts.
Though it makes me a little sad to see that this content is being Released under a license (CC BY-NC-SA) that's incompatible (as I understand it) with the license used on Wikimedia wikis.
Uh, thanks for the hint. I've changed the license to CC BY-SA.
Oh, I didn't know that was possible. Thanks for that!
It's always a balancing act between how much documentation we want to have on mediawiki.org for external products/services and how much we want to rely on the documentation that these services provide. It's a balancing act for each product or service. I know we certainly had some discussions about this surrounding (for example) Gerrit. But having the option to host documentation, tips, tricks, etc. (particularly as I view mediawiki.org as a pretty stable environment) is awesome. :-) In addition to stability, mediawiki.org, and Wikimedia wikis generally, seem to also be developing and enhancing the ability to translate works easily, which may come in handy. Probably less so for tips and tricks, but maybe more for basic and essential documents like how to file a bug, how to request a wiki configuration change, etc.
