[Wikitech-l] What's the best place to do post-upload processing on a file? Etc.
Hi all, For a MediaWiki extension I'm working on (see http://lists.wikimedia.org/pipermail/wikitech-l/2012-April/060254.html), an effectively plain-text file will need to be converted into a static image. I've got a set of scripts that does that, but it takes my medium-grade consumer laptop about 30 seconds to convert the plain-text file into a ray-traced static image. Since ray-tracing the images being created here substantially improves their visual quality, my impression is that it's worth a moderately expensive transformation operation like this, but only if the operation is done once. Given that, I assume it'd be best to do this transformation immediately after the plain-text file has completed uploading. Is that right? If not, what's a better time/way to do that processing? I've looked into MediaWiki's 'UploadComplete' event hook to accomplish this. That handler gives a way to access information about the upload and the local file. However, I haven't been able to find a way to get the uploaded file's path on the local file system, which I would need to do the transformation. Looking around related files I see references to $srcPath, which seems like what I would need. Am I just missing some getter method for file system path data in UploadBase.php or LocalFile.php? How can I get the information about an uploaded file's location on the file system while in an onUploadComplete-like object method in my extension?

I am just a random user lurking on the mail-list, nor a mw dev, but I wonder why you don't look on the SVG handling already on mediawiki. What you are doing is rendering, with one added dimension :D http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:Configuration_settings#SVG This stuff has to do things in a stablished way, that you can just expand, or replicate the strategy. This is a super-casual comment. Wait for what the mw devs say.

[Wikitech-l] User ID 0 on simple
Hi, I am confused by the following edit on the Simple English Wikipedia: https://simple.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Apriloldid=2130 It is done by User:Ams80 it says, but the user does not exist. Also, when you click on all the users contributions, you get an empty list -- also not including the April article. https://simple.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Contributions/Ams80 I am guessing that the Simple English Wikipedia was maybe started in 2003 with a copy of the English Wikipedia, and that the first edit is actually done by a proxy editor name or something like that, that does not really exist. Anyone having a good memory?

[Wikitech-l] Gerrit 2.3 (and cloning all extensions)
Hi, Ryan and I upgraded our Gerrit install to 2.3 today. This release brings lots of fixes and various other improvements. The big feature we're using in 2.3 is called submodule subscriptions which I've already deployed for our extensions. To check out all extensions in Gerrit, you can now do the following: $ git clone https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/p/mediawiki/extensions.git $ cd extensions $ git submodule update --init To update the extensions to their latest versions, just do this: $ cd /path/to/extensions $ git pull $ git submodule update --init I hope you all enjoy the new version of Gerrit.
