No worries. Thank you for taking the time to write up this message
explaining. I think there are definitely ways in which we can improve our
communication about beta (or alpha!) features, including attempting to
label them appropriately and making sure the message is suitably clear.
Your constructive feedback will help us do better in the future.

Re: [Wikimedia-l] Invitation to beta-test HHVM

[Anders Wennersten]

It now works as it should, thanks for a quick fix!

I also did soma very subjective test on response times and found the new 
feature to give 1-3 s quicker response, which is quite much (6s-5s, 
7s-4s) and make a big difference in the user experience.


So many thanks for deploying such a good feature.

Also after reflecting on my little harsh reaction on the deployment 
process, I wonder if it is not a language/communication issue


Being a non-native English speaking person I must admit I have no idea 
of the meaning "intrepid" means in "for intrepid beta testers".  It 
seems for Guillaume it means "hey this is badly tested, but use if you 
have patience/courage" which I can accept as a message of a testrelease


Also in my backgroud working in a company making internal deployment of 
software for 4000 internal users, I am used of making a huge difference 
in "ready for Alpha test" and "ready for Beta test", but perhaps my 
reference frame is inappropriate in this case, where perhaps a beta 
functionality means "Software for testing, not ready for release" and 
covering both my distinctions


So I apologize if I used too strong wordings and instead want to 
congratulate you on releasing a good function where you so speedily 
fixed the bug!

Thanks!, glad you could sort this out and file a bug

But really, I understand from this that this feature was released as a
Beta feature without it ever been tried out on any other project then enwp,
which for me indicate a proper process for Alpha test before release to
beta as been missing...


Sorry, I don't agree! I think the process worked very well just now. You're
not giving yourself enough credit, I'm afraid :)

This genuinely is testing done right. HHVM has been on the beta cluster for
a few months and has been enabled on testwiki by default for a month. In
addition it has been opt-in on production for a week or two already. This
is purely an easy way for people to test as the other way was, sort of
annoying :)

[Todd Allen]

This was testing done right. The feature was offered as opt in and clearly
marked as beta. A bug was found and quickly fixed. When you're testing beta
software, you have to expect bugs.

We've been quick enough to knock rollouts done poorly or made default with
inadequate testing, and should be. Let's not knock the ones done right.

Dear all,

I am pleased to announce that the Affiliations Committee has recognized 
Azerbaijani Wikimedians [1] as a Wikimedia User Group [2]. They are a

access to free knowledge about Azerbaijan and the development of more 
reusable content in the Azerbaijani language (but not exclusively).


Let's give them a warm welcome to the family of Wikimedia affiliates!!!

"Insufficient" is in the eyes of the beholder :) Beta Features are
experimental, and Ori's announcement clearly indicated that this
particular feature was "for intrepid beta testers".

This means that the feature is still being tested, and that people who
enable it should expect to find bugs, and should report them so they
can be fixed before the feature is deployed more widely.

This is precisely what happened in this case, so the testing process
worked as expected. Developers can't find All The Bugs alone, which is
why they need the help of volunteer testers.

[Wikimedia-l] Slideshow functionality for Wikipedia

[Russavia]

Hi all,

After working on an article on English Wikipedia, I came to realise that it
might be useful if we had a slideshow feature for media for use in articles.

I was informed that Hebrew Wikipedia has a fantastic slideshow template
that can be used in articles.[1] The slideshow is created with this
template.[2]

The design is very sleek and it would no doubt be a fantastic addition to
all Wikipedias.

I've left a message for the person responsible for this template on he.wp
asking if they can help create it for English Wikipedia, but I have been
informed that they are basically semi-retired/on extended wikibreak.

Would anyone out there like to take this on board and get it created for
English Wikipedia at the earliest convenience. It can be tested live on the
article I am working on at the moment if need be.[3]

Cheers

Russavia

Re: [Wikimedia-l] Invitation to beta-test HHVM

[Anders Wennersten]

Thanks!, glad you could sort this out and file a bug

But really, I understand from this that this feature was released as a 
Beta feature without it ever been tried out on any other project then 
enwp, which for me indicate a proper process for Alpha test before 
release to beta as been missing...


The very heated discussions of MV and Visual editor are much related to 
the fact that their quality and functionality at the time of full 
release was more of a state appropriate for a Beta release, The discsion 
has also clearly taken up the need of improvements of the deployment 
process.


It therefore make me concerned (much more than the bug as such involved 
here) to see that WMF still seems to have dysfunctional deployment 
processes.


I do hope to see, very soon,  marked improvements in the software process.

Anders

It appears that when you turn on HHVM it forces the default time setting
to be UTC, so if you're on a wiki which uses a non UTC default time zone
(usually the time zone of the region most using the language, we do this on
around 200 wikis) suddenly all of the times you are used to seeing (in the
history, recent changes, contributions, signature time stamps etc) change
what time they are showing which gets confusing.

This does not appear to happen if you have 'manually' set your time zone
(only if you are using the local default).

I'm going to file a bug now for it assuming someone else hasn't.

Thanks for trying it out. Could you clarify what you mean? I don't see
anything wrong, but I'm not very observant. If you're comparing the

Re: [Wikimedia-l] Invitation to beta-test HHVM

[Anders Wennersten]

I experienced no improved answer time, but all time stamps in Wikipedia 
for me become wrong making it impossible to use the feature. I would 
call this problem a thing that should have been found in an alpha text...

(apologies for cross-posting)

I'm happy to announce that HHVM is available on all Wikimedia wikis for
intrepid beta testers. HHVM, you'll recall, is an alternative runtime for
PHP that provides substantial performance improvements over the standard
PHP interpreter. Simply put: HHVM is software that runs on Wikimedia's
servers to make your reading and editing experience faster.

You can read more about HHVM here: https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/HHVM

* How do I enable HHVM?

You can enable HHVM by opting in to the beta feature. This short animated
gif will show you how: .

Enabling the beta feature will set a special cookie in your browser. Our
servers are configured to route requests bearing this cookie to a pool of
servers that are running HHVM.

* How do I know that it's working?

Opting-in to the beta feature does not change the user interface in any
way. If you like, you can copy the following code snippet to the global.js
subpage of your user page on MetaWiki:

https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/User:Ori.livneh/global.js

If you copy this script to your global.js, the personal bar will be
annotated with the name of the PHP runtime used to generate the page and
the backend response time. It looks like this:

http://people.wikimedia.org/~ori/hhvm_script.png

Edits made by users with HHVM enabled will be tagged with 'HHVM'. The tag
is there as a precaution, to help us clean up if we discover that HHVM is
mangling edits somehow. We don't expect this to happen.

* What sort of performance changes should I expect?

We expect HHVM to have a substantial impact on the time it takes to load,
preview, and save pages.

At the moment, API requests are not being handled by HHVM. Because
VisualEditor uses the API to save articles, opting in to the HHVM beta
feature will not impact the performance of VisualEditor. We hope to have
HHVM handling API requests next week.

* What sort of issues might I encounter?

Most of the bugs that we have encountered so far resulted from minute
differences in how PHP5 and HHVM handle various edge-cases. These bugs
typically cause a MediaWiki error page to be shown.

If you encounter an error, please report it on Bugzilla and tag with it the
'HHVM' keyword.


We're not done yet, but this is an important milestone. The roll-out of
HHVM as a beta feature caps many months of hard work from many developers,
both salaried and volunteer, from the Wikimedia Foundation, Wikimedia
Deutschland, and the broader Wikimedia movement.  I want to take this
opportunity to express my appreciation to the following individuals, listed
in alphabetical order:

Aaron Schulz, Alexandros Kosiaris, Brad Jorsch, Brandon Black, Brett
Simmers, Bryan Davis, Chad Horohoe, Chris Steipp, Erik Bernhardson, Erik
Möller, Faidon Liambotis, Filippo Giunchedi, Giuseppe Lavagetto, Greg
Grossmeier, Jack McBarn, Katie Filbert, Kunal Mehta, Mark Bergsma, Max
Semenik, Niklas Laxström, Rob Lanphier, and Tim Starling.

More good things to come! :)
