Given that it's very close to me, and that I have quite a bit of experience with the API, this is something I could do.
I actually had an API talk planned for WM 2012 that I never got a chance to present, I could dust it off and see how well it fits in their scope. Do you know when their CFP opens?

Hi all,
I don't know whether this is the correct mailing list to ask such question but it is the one I am reading regularly…
Does anyone know about the adequate procedure to get permission to request deleted revision information from the MediaWiki API?
I just stumbled over this problem...
{ "servedby": "mw1140", "error": { "code": "drpermissiondenied", "info": "You don't have permission to view deleted revision information" } }
Many thanks.
Best, Claudia

For a personal wiki, this means you need the 'deletedhistory' and 'deletedtext' permissions (which is by default assigned to the admin group).
On WMF wikis, this requires being an administrator (although I think there's some exception for researchers handed out via Meta).

SELECTING CANDIDATES
After the deadline we will meet to prioritize GSoC and OPW candidates.
When is this meeting?
It seems that we won't need a meeting to discuss candidates. So far the discussions of the proposals in Google Melange are enough.
What we will do is a hangout for mentors next week to discuss anything except candidates: questions about the program and your work, expectations, tips & tricks...
And some questions that came from a student:
- May I know how selection of the most suitable candidate for each
GSoC project will be like?
It is described at https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Mentorship_programs/Selection_process but if anybody has more specific questions just ask.
- Would it depend on technical knowledge and research?
It's a combination of many factors. There is a short term question (do we trust this candidate can complete this project) and a mid term question (do we believe this candidate will stick around, contributing after the internship?).
There is no scientific way to predict the answers. Own initiative, social/communication skills or personal context may play a role as important as the declared technical knowledge (which in many cases we can't even evaluate properly because on many cases there is not much code and history to look at - which is relatively expected in these types of internship programs.
- Will there be more than one successful candidate for one specific
project or is it strictly the best (only one) candidate for the specific project?
GSoC / OPW allow this, but we are aiming to have only one candidate per project. The main motivation is to give more chances to more projects. We try to define project ideas that can be accomplished by one person during the internship.

Will the event be recorded and broadcasted? This may be an interesting document to add on meta where efforts are done to make developers involvement more attractive.

Hi all,
the GLAM Wiki Toolset-code is ready for its initial review. It can be found at: https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/#/c/59405/
Please help us by taking a look at it.
Cheers, Geer Oskam

For those like me which are wondering "what is it?", here is an informative copy of the README:
GWToolset
A MediWiki extension that allows GLAMs the ability to mass upload content based on an xml file conta ining respective metadata about the content. The intent is to allow for a variety of xml schemas; se e the [extension page]( http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:GWToolset ) for further information.
(All apologies if this was obvious to all other readers of this list)
Thanks to Siebrand, Reedy, and Peachey88 for their reviews. There's a new patchset up as of today in case anyone wants to take a fresh look.

Hi,
Long time ago when I started learning with git I decided to create a simple guide (basically I was just taking some notes of what is needed). I never thought that it could be useful to anyone so I never announced it anywhere. However I got some feedback to it, so I decided to inform you too.
The basic idea is to create a TOTALLY SIMPLE guide that git illiterates like me can understand and thanks to which they would find out how to do stuff in wikimedia git / gerrit.
Link is here: www.mediawiki.org/wiki/User:Petrb/Git_for_idiots
It doesn't contain so much and there are some mistakes / feel free to fix them.
Since wikimedia switched to gerrit from svn I have yet met a tons of people who had problems adapting to it, so this could eventually help some.

We've got [[Git/Workflow]], [[Git/Tutorial]] and [[Git/Getting started]] (in decreasing order of complexity/depth), so I would be hesitant to add yet another howto page. Considering this is supposed to be quick-and-easy docs, I'd suggest folding any unique content into the getting started doc.
