[Wikitech-l] MediaWiki 1.21 release delayed until May 18

2013-05-15 Thread Mark A. Hershberger
Despite the my intention to release 1.21 today, I have to delay it until
May 18.  Yesterday someone pointed out a blocker to me.

While we have a work-around for this, I don't have time to integrate it
right now, so the release needs to be delayed until Saturday.

[Wikitech-l] [Extension:Score] Unable to create a single score from multiple pages

2013-05-15 Thread David Cuenca
Hi,

At ca-ws we have started creating musical scores and we have found out that
when transcluding two pages into one, it is only possible to generate two
independent audio files instead of one with the whole score.

Example with two pages
http://ca.wikisource.org/wiki/P%C3%A0gina%3A30_can%C3%A7ons_populars_catalanes_%281916%29.djvu/59
http://ca.wikisource.org/wiki/P%C3%A0gina%3A30_can%C3%A7ons_populars_catalanes_%281916%29.djvu/60

Transcluded score:
http://ca.wikisource.org/wiki/Els_micalets_d%27Espanya

Is there any way to combine multiple pages into a single file? I have tried
to transclude each section independently, but I always get a wall of text
with errors. Also interesting would be to give the user the option to save
that lilypond file.

Cheers,
David --Micru

Re: [Wikitech-l] Code style: overuse of Html::element()

 It looks like we can define custom filters in twig, so we may be able
 to move the review to making sure the template correctly escapes the
 value for the context with the correct function. Something like:

  ul id=users
  {% for user in users %}
lia href={{ user|getMediaWikiUserURL }}{{ users.name|e }}/a/li
  {% endfor %}

 [...]

So new MediaWiki developers would have to learn yet another
syntax, debugging would require another level of indirec-
tion, and if these custom filters include those we use for
HTML5 now, the output would subtly differ from the template.
What was the expected benefit of this operation again, and
how often do we get to reap it? :-)

[Wikitech-l] Announcing the Flow Portal(s)

2013-05-15 Thread Brandon Harris
Hello!

As many of you know, the Wikimedia Foundation is now actively engaged 
in designing a next-generation discussion and workflow system called Flow, 
initially slated to replace user talk pages.  Flow is an ambitious project (on 
par with the VisualEditor) and will touch nearly every aspect of the Wikimedia 
experience.

We need ''your'' help and input.  We have started a portal for 
information and discussion.

You can find it on the English Wikipedia here: 
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Flow

And on MediaWiki here: http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Flow_Portal

(We'll be creating one on meta as well).

At the Flow portal, you can read about what we're doing and why, as 
well as play around with an interactive prototype.  

We're desperately interested in your feedback and thoughts.  There are 
things that we know, and things that we know that we don't know. But there are 
also things that we *don't* know that we don't know.  And we want to reduce 
that lack of knowledge.

We will also be conducting additional office hours for a variety of 
timezones - as many as we need to - and will also be open to having 
conversations via Google hangouts and/or Skype as need be.  I am always around 
on irc (freenode, username jorm) and am willing to answer any questions you 
may have.

-b.

Besides, it adds much more overhead. What should we favour: readability or
perfomance?
