Re: [xTools] T13 a part of xTools

Alright. I’ll admit that sockpuppet stunt wasn’t at all something I would have expected from you, nor did I expect yourself to get banned, but I still respect you as a Dev. I trust you to not hijack the tool. I’ve always had pleasant interactions with you and ultimately I think you are a valuable person to have on the team. I feel a dismissal isn’t necessary unless you have malicious intentions towards xTools, as a malicious action can be easily reversed and fixed. Even though it’s lessened, you still have my respect and I am still going to AGF, for now. But please don’t do something like that again. I’m not aware of the full details behind your ArbCom case, but I hope you don’t have anymore sockpuppets on Wikipedia. In short, I think you should stay.

I offered to walk away when I retired from on-wiki activities due to being harassed and threatened by an arbitrator and was told that wikitech and toollabs are separate from on-wiki stuff and that I was wanted and needed. I know there are some that want me to stay, and some that want me to go so for the sake of clarity we're going to all post one reply as to whether or not I'm welcome to contribute or not. Unless there is an overwhelming result I should go, I will evaluate each comment and decide. Please don't just say stay or gone, please explain why you think I should stay or go. I will honor whatever the result here is.

Email works especially well when people are out of sync, and gives time for email senders to think things through. Regarding T13's participation: I personally was against this but was told since disciplinary action was only taken on enwiki it would not apply to his work on xtools. I definitely am uncomfortable given the nature of his actions that led to the ArbCom decision, but since others on the xtools team was okay with it, I refrained from going further since I'm the newest team member on the block. Unsure what people are talking about re: messes, so I'll refrain from that. --leee On Fri, Jul 3, 2015 at 2:47 AM, Chris &lt;cs(a)edubkk.org&gt; wrote: I’ve only been following this email list for a day or two and already I see that the biggest problem is not getting the tools up and running or porting existing ttools from other wikis to our corner of Labs, but one of organisation/coordination. I do not believe that trying to manage somthieng as important as this can be done with the back and forth of email or even on IRC. The greatest steps forward I have achieved for Wikipedia, such as the cleanup of the massive IEP problem, and the development of the NPP suite, were all done over Skype conferencing. There is even better face-2-face multi-person conferencing available nowadays, may I respectfully suggest that the team look into this in order to save time. Also, if T13 is still one of the participants here, I’m not happy with the arrangement. In the meantime, I will try contacting some people I know at the Foundation in an attempt to get them to clean up any mess they are directly responsible for so that there will at least be a stable server to work on. Thanks for listening. Kudpung On 3Jul, 2015, at 09:52, Maximilian Doerr &lt;maximilian.doerr(a)gmail.com&gt; wrote: Great. VirtualBox won’t install.

I’ve had absolutely no luck getting it to work. Unless someone else would like to try, I’m declaring xTools to be unmovable and therefore cannot be moved to xtools.wmflabs.org with our dedicated environment to stabilize xTools. L If no one objects, I would like to move to plan B and get wikihistory temporarily ported to the new environment or the toollabs environment as a temporary replacement to the broken articleinfo tool. That way we at least have the important tools working again for the time being. We should consider moving straight to building a rewrite, one that’s maintainable, portable, and most importantly stable. Elee, if no one objects to this plan, would you object to rebuilding the instances, at least the dev ones, with the newest available Linux version and the latest PHP version?
