[Wikitech-l] Integrating who's been awesome? functionality to MediaWiki
Dear Mr James Alexander, I am Eranga. I'm a 3rd year Computer Science and Engineering undergraduate at University of Moratuwa Sri Lanka. I am interested in participating in gsoc 2012 programme with MediaWiki. Currently I'm developing a multimedia extension for MediaWiki which synchronize videos with other content. I went through the gsoc idea list in MediaWiki gsoc 2012 page. Among those ideas, I'm interested in who's been awesome? idea which has been published by you. I want to know weather someone is already working on this idea.If it is still available, I'm keen to start development with it with your support.

Plus even then, there is still ambiguity with the various ways to denote namespaces (aliases) and whitespace freedom between namespace, colon and title. -- Extra feature: Now that the two are separate it' s easier for users to move across namespaces as one doesn't have to type, can't make spelling mistakes. Also, in the future we could exclude certain target namespaces that are not possible or not allowed (now one can perfectly submit a request to move from NS_CATEGORY or NS_FILE, only to get a warning on submission). By showing them disabled in the drop down this becomes clearer). * Keeps backwards compatibility for gadgets and permalinks generated by templates on wikis so that they can still pre-set the new title from a url the old way. The new way can also be pre-set from the url, and allows them to be set separately (wpNewTitleNs=10wpNewTitleMain=Infobox) * Gadgets and templates linking to Special:MovePage with a preset target -- Old way (still works): wpNewTitle=Template:Infobox -- New way: wpNewTitleNs=10 (and/or) wpNewTitleMain=Infobox * Fixes bug 29454; Depends on r109990; -- (bug 29454) Enforce byteLimit for page title input on Special:MovePage ___ MediaWiki-CodeReview mailing list mediawiki-coderev...@lists.wikimedia.org https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/mediawiki-codereview

Hello John, I beg you to first establish a list of requirements and features we are looking after. You do not want to invest any time installing a software we could dismiss right away just by looking at its specs (see at the bottom of this mail for examples). Fair enough. I think what I'm looking for is a bug tracker that is more easier to use for both developers and users. I would also like tools that allow us to better visualize progress on bugs and what's fixed or needed for a released. Finally an API that doesn't suck would be nice Let me ask you a question, why do you feel we should move to another bug tracker? Do you think that Bugzilla is missing features we could use? For example, maybe some bug tracker also assist in planning release management. I know Mantis has a nice interface for that. Is that because other tools have a nicer interface?

Instead we can use some demo accounts or just install a version for sandboxing purposes. Both way would be easier than investing time in migrating bugs to some other tracker. I disagree. I think that if the software supports an importer it wouldn't hurt to use it for the demo. If you want some bugs, you can try out Bugzilla JSON interface which is used to generate the release reports.

The reason I am dismissing proprietary product is probably because we have been building Wikipedia on top of free software stack for the last 11 years.

Re: [Wikitech-l] Database dump of Bugzilla
Hi John, I'm happy that you're looking at this, because I can't say that I'm thrilled with Bugzilla, and I'd be happy to see a better alternative to it. However, I also kinda agree with Chad: it's not that I love Bugzilla, but rather we haven't yet found a system that's better enough to invest in a migration. That's been the state of things for so long that it's very easy to get cynical about it. That said, I'm keeping an open mind, and I'm intrigued by one of your suggestions (Bug Genie). More on that in a bit. One requirement I would like to place on a new system, should we go there, is that it support Wikimedia SUL in some form. I realize that Bugzilla doesn't support this, but the point behind this requirement would be that if we're going to go through a painful migration, integration with our existing login system needs to be one of the benefits. It might mean that this project come behind some form of OpenID provider support on the Wikimedia cluster. More inline...

To do that I'll be installing some different software on the Labs and importing existing bugs for evaluation by the development team and users. The following software is planned for test: - JIRA http://www.atlassian.com/software/jira/overview + Greenhopper + Bonfire I've got a lot of experience with JIRA that I'm happy to share offlist. Since this has partially devolved into a discussion about open vs proprietary, I think you should read this: http://www.atlassian.com/licensing/license ...and not install it until you have. There will be a test ;-) Generally, it's going to take a lot to convince me that a proprietary solution is going to work for us. - YouTrack http://www.jetbrains.com/youtrack/ - The Bug Genie http://www.thebuggenie.com/index.php - Redmine http://www.redmine.org/ - ChiliProject https://www.chiliproject.org/ Redmine is the one that was the frontrunner the last evaluation we did in 2010: http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Tracker/PM_tool There's possibly some other stuff to look at on the 2010 list. As I alluded to, I'm intrigued by The Bug Genie. Looks like it's PHP-based open source, under active development for 10 years, and that they've put some thought into the UI. I don't think that one came up in our last eval, but it probably should have. I'd encourage you to nudge that one higher on your list. Of course, this goes back to the original request. To do this I need a dump of the current Bugzilla install. Is it possible for me to get this and under what conditions? Thank you. There's some confidential information in there, so possibly an NDA. I'll talk to Sumana on Monday about this. One thing that I would ask of you, though, is to be mindful of our community's actual capacity for disruptive change and development/operations capacity in general. The reason why we dropped this project back in 2010 was that it became clear that we were trying to do too many things in parallel, and not doing any of those things well. While WMF has more capacity, and you're helping out by volunteering this work, we still might not have capacity for this project. Even if you do a lot of the work, it will be both a disruption for others, as well as a fair amount of work for others. Given we're smack dab in the middle of an incredibly disruptive change (migrating from SVN to Git), it seems like this might be the wrong time to do anything more than experiments. So, that's not to say don't evaluate other systems, but just be mindful that success might still mean waiting until late 2012 or even 2013 for the project to really begin in earnest. If you're ok with that, then I say great! If that sounds like way too long to wait after doing a lot of work, then I'd caution against starting.

Is it installed on wikipedias? Prior to r82645, FSS was used in the wikitext parser for expanding tags like nowiki and ref. Installing FSS sped up this phase significantly. In MediaWiki 1.18 and later this is no longer the case, that part of the parser was rewritten to be fast whether or not FSS is installed. There are still a few uses of FSS in MediaWiki and its extensions: * Malayalam and Arabic character set normalisation * Chinese and Serbian variant conversion * Parsing edit section links (MWTidy) * Extensions: AbuseFilter, LiquidThreads, FCKeditor and Transliterator You probably won't get enough of a performance benefit to make it worthwhile unless you are using one of the four content languages mentioned above or Transliterator.

John Du Hart compwhi...@gmail.com writes: Fair enough. I think what I'm looking for is a bug tracker that is more easier to use for both developers and users. I would also like tools that allow us to better visualize progress on bugs and what's fixed or needed for a released. Finally an API that doesn't suck would be nice I'm not about to argue for the user-friendliness of Bugzilla or visualization that it offers. However, I have used the API extensively and, while I do agree that there are areas it could be improved, I've found it useful for most things. Hack-ability is a big benefit here. Lots of other people use Bugzilla and adapt it to their needs. Some of those changes get incorporated into the core. Mozilla, for instance, created MediaWiki integration that might help with visualization: http://lawrencemandel.com/2012/02/23/embed-bugzilla-data-in-wikimo-pages/ (This was later disabled because of the load on Bugzilla, but I think it is a start. See https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/731672.) And the Mozilla has certainly shown that Bugzilla's UI (at least for entering bugs, which is the biggest pain point for for new users) can be made better. I don't think Bugzilla is the best it could possibly be. But, I do think there is the problem of known pain (Bugzilla) versus the unknown pain that will come with learning a new system and then adapting to its quirks and inadequacies. I would rather use the energy to adapt Bugzilla to our needs. Proprietary software as well. Like I replied earlier, this is not a major concern. I think you'll find quite a lot of resistance from me on this point. -- Mark A.

Much better than the current diff style, and not just for the color blind. ;-) Accentuating changed phrases more strongly and removing color where unnecessary makes it much easier to scan a diff.

[Wikitech-l] PDF Download
Hi, From the very beginning, there is a problem in the PDF Download tool and that is it can not properly render the Bengali and some of the other Indic languages (might be all Indic languages). A few bug was reported earlier and the developers tried to solve the issues but unfortunate it was not completely fixed. Here i have a question that at this moment is there any developer of developer group is working on this issue? if yes then i want to join with him. But is no one is engaged with it then is is possible to apply GSoC for this issue. I am involved with the Wikimedia Bangladesh and within a short time we are going to arrange outreach programs outside of the city area. For that purpose the offline version will help us a lot.
