Re: [Wikitech-l] [Wikitech-ambassadors] Fwd: Deployment highlights for the week of Sept 23rd
Excellent news! Would someone be able to provide or point to some configuration and examples that English Wikisource can utilise to allow some side-by-side searches, and some guidance that can be provided to the community on the new features and their use (if there us any).

Re: [Wikitech-l] RfC update: LESS stylesheet support in core
Ok, we've had another round of review and updates, and it sounds like people are pretty content with the functionality and the conventions we're coming up with around LESS usage; and I don't hear many strong objections. If there's no last-minute surprises from anybody, I'll drop the +2 hammer on the core support https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/#/c/78669/ later today, and folks can start using it. -- brion On Fri, Sep 20, 2013 at 1:32 PM, Dan Andreescu dandree...@wikimedia.orgwrote: On Fri, Sep 20, 2013 at 12:53 PM, C.

Oh, I certainly agree. For my part, I'm satisfied that the LESS/Sass/stylus issues have been adequately thought through (maybe some of this can make it back into the RfC). The http://leafo.net/lessphp/docs/#custom_functions stuff looks very promising, it probably should be explicitly mentioned in any LESS for MW docs we write. I look forward to seeing the @import guidelines as well. --scott Heartily agree as well. I alluded to this in my longer answer. Basically Stylus/SASS do seem to be slightly ahead of LESS but it's a vanishing difference and meaningLESS over the long term. The biggest gains to be had from using a CSS preprocessor tend to come from the most basic features This I think is a most astute point from Ori. It's why I made the analogy to Coco. I don't and never will use any of the complicated crazy Coco constructs. But writing class LineNode extends TimeseriesNode instead of all the JS boilerplate for classes and inheritance is good. ___ Wikitech-l mailing list Wikitech-l@lists.wikimedia.org https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikitech-l ___ Wikitech-l mailing list Wikitech-l@lists.wikimedia.org https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikitech-l

I'll fill out https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Search/CirrusSearchFeatures a boiled down list of features. The big one I think you care about is that templates are evaluated during indexing. If you can't wait you can read the regression tests here: http://git.wikimedia.org/tree/mediawiki%2Fextensions%2FCirrusSearch.git/master/tests%2Fbrowser%2Ffeatures . They are written in cucumber so they should be reasonably readable. Fair warning: I use the term page and article pretty much interchangeably. Also one of the tests is failing on my development machine but I haven't commented it out with an associated bug like I usually do because, well, I like looking at it failing I guess.

Hello Brion, Thank you for the last minute mail notification on wikitech-l regarding less implementation. I have cast a few minor concerns on patchset 31, mostly related to the way the cache key is forged :-/ Hopefully I have been missing something and that is not going to delay the patch any further. cheers, -- Antoine hashar Musso ___ Wikitech-l mailing list Wikitech-l@lists.wikimedia.org https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikitech-l
