[Wikitech-l] A bug into pywikipedia: help needed
I found a bug into pywikipedia library, wikivoyage-family.py. Into the first class, there's a wrong line that blocks login for bots.: self.name=Wikivoyage The right line should be: self.name=wikivoyage with lower case; fixing the script into my local copy of pywikipedia library the bug disappears and login runs. Can please one of you post a bug into Bugzilla (I can't... I hate Bugzilla and I never use it :-( )? In the meantime, I'll fix the bug manually at any pywikipedia update. Thanks!

[Wikitech-l] Jenkins: whitespace test!
Hello, For a long time now we have been reviewing changes that contains unwanted trailing whitespaces. To make sure the patch submitter is warned about it, I have enabled trailing whitespace check on mediawiki/core.git The bug report is: https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/42628 I have only enabled such check on the mediawiki/core.git repository for now. If that went well I will look up at enabling it on other repos. cheer, -- Antoine hashar Musso ___ Wikitech-l mailing list Wikitech-l@lists.wikimedia.org https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikitech-l

Re: [Wikitech-l] Jenkins: whitespace test!
It should be an ignorable warning. There are occasionally situations where trailing white space is necessary. MySQL for instance can be funny about combining multi line strings into one query, although I don't think it presents when called via PHP.

Re: [Wikitech-l] Any OSCON plans?
I've spoken at it the last 13 years, but I was thinking of skipping it this time. I've also been on the committee the last few years. I don't yet know if I will be this year, but if you want my perspective on what gets accepted I'd be happy to share it. In general state of TechnologyX is tough to get accepted unless you are Rasmus, Larry or Guido. How we did challenging new project at high profile site with technologyX is a much better bet. OSCON always runs some talks along the lines of saving the world with open culture, so a charismatic speaker with a non-obvious spin on that is worth a shot.
