[Wikitech-l] Preparser: Comments after === became a part of a header in xml representation
When I do preparsing of the following text Some text ===!-- Comment written this way === And a new line after the end of the comment-- It gives me a level 1 header with = as a title (what is expected), but it also put a comment inside of h/h tags: rootSome text h level=1 i=1===commentlt;!-- Comment written this way === And a new line after the end of the comment--gt;/comment/h /root This is not a problem for web rendering since comments are simply removed, but if one will try to create some ObjModel from the result xml, it would be not exactly the result that person would expect. And there might be some other unexpected results. i.e. some code would expect to find = before /h tag, and would be surprised when it does not find it there. Etc. This quite a minor problem, but I think it worth reporting. ___ Wikitech-l mailing list Wikitech-l@lists.wikimedia.org https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikitech-l

And documentation quality should be pretty apparent if you're already on the extension documentation page on mw.org. Installation can be a massive pain in the arse but still very much worth it, especially as it is a one-time thing, so the real question may be is it worth it. I feel like we'd need context for the ratings to be at all useful. So I'd say the question should be asked - should these ratings be available?

Re: [Wikitech-l] Graphs demo
Yeh it looks like it is supported which is great, but it seems the bit
that got me confused was the section 'embedded directly'.
I had thought the whole point of a visualisation/graph/map namespace
was to separate the data and use JsonContentHandler, not to mix
content.
My main concern is the bit under embedded directly e.g. this type of thing:
graph
{
width: 400,
...
/graph
What I worry about is if this inline graphing is available out of the
box then we are promoting this kind of editing which makes editing
harder for newcomers and I think we should be moving away from it

Looking at the demo wiki, it seems to use a dedicated namespace (graph)

Re: [Wikitech-l] Help in modifying Template:Extension to support user ratings
I agree to the points raised about ratings and what parameters are best suitable for representing them. However, I believe these are evolutionary features and can only be improved in an agile manner. The key issue I believe is to address the cold start problem and for this I suppose that reflecting the ratings back to mw.o will catalyses the process of data collection in due time and make the ratings more meaningful. Currently, a flat number 3 was reflected as rating but I hope everyone takes it in symbolic terms i.e it can be modified to suit best needs. To re-iterate, it means that instead of 3 we can use 3/5 which tells the total rating is out of 5. Also we may use the information about how many people rated the extension and display that too. So this is where I need help to decide what will comprise as a meaningful data which can be presented on the extension page and address the cold start of this functionality. Please see all the knowledge generated on the extension pages of WikiApiary and suggest what combination of parameters will be best suited to be pushed to mediawiki. Thanks.

[Wikitech-l] Arlo Breault joins Wikimedia as Features Engineer
Hello everyone, It’s with great pleasure that I’m announcing that Arlo Breault joined the Wikimedia Foundation as a Features Engineer. Note the past tense. :-D Before joining us, Arlo worked as an independent open-source software developer. He’s held various contracts at the Tor Project[1], DuckDuckGo[2], Storify[3], and Right Democracy[4], amongst others, where he’s worked on everything from novel censorship circumvention systems to navigable visualizations of the web graph. I first found out about him in April of 2012, but we only managed to find a fit a year ago in July of 2013 as an international contractor. His first official day as a member of our staff was July 7, 2014. I tell myself that announcing Arlo and Marc together is the reason I’ve been tardy on these announcements. :-D Along with Marcoil (previous e-mail), the two of them work with Subbu Sastry and C. Scott Ananian to form the Parsoid team, which provides the back-end voodoo that turns your VisualEditing into wikitext and back again.[5] Arlo studied physics and mathematics at McGill in Montréal, and now lives in Victoria, BC. He has been spending a lot of his free time lately looking at cryptographic protocols, contributing OTR.js[6] to Cryptocat[7], a privacy preserving chat application. He’s otherwise typically Canadian, enjoying his maple syrup, hockey, and reading by the warm glow of a fire.

Hello everyone, It’s with great pleasure that I’m announcing that Marc Ordinas i Llopis joined the Wikimedia Foundation as a Features Engineer.

He lives in Majorca, Spain where the latest Parsoid team offsite just was.[4] There, he spends his free time reading, making (and tasting) wine and generally seemingly being the IT support for the island. He’s also involved in local politics and currently serving as town councillor.

Re: [Wikitech-l] Future platforms, devices, and consumers
Hey, Hi Rexford, What objectives would we achieve if we were to revamp the MediaWiki system from ground up? Even if we pretend that we have infinite financial and human resources to do this, I am not sure what we would accomplsh, and we would likely introduce a lot of new reliability and security bugs. I can't answer for Rexford, though can provide you with a reply of my own. You are quite right that the resources needed to rewrite a software as big and complex as MediaWiki from ground up in one go are not realistic. I think this is simply not feasible and a bad idea to begin with. There is plenty of good writing on the topic of migrating away from legacy systems, often cautioning against the big rewrite. That does not mean that moving away from the current platform is a bad idea. Of course there needs to be good reason to do so. Is the current platform causing problems severe enough to warrant changing direction? Look at all the effort being put into the software surrounding Wikipedia and associated projects. A lot of enthusiastic and smart people are spending plenty of time on it. So how come progress has slowed down so much? How come we cannot easy add new functionality? What exactly is causing all this effort to be spend so inefficiently? And how much more would we be able to achieve if those issues where not there? One concern with rewriting or redesigning things that I've seen outlined often is that it is easy to just end up at the same place again. If no effort is put into identifying why the old system ended up in a bad state, then it's naive to expect the new one will not suffer the same fate. and we would likely introduce a lot of new reliability and security bugs. Is that something inherent to writing new software or migrating away from legacy systems? Or is that simply what would happen if such a task was attempted without altering development practices first?

Re: [Wikitech-l] Help in modifying Template:Extension to support user ratings
I was meaning to comment on the overall GSoC proposal before the acceptance stage and didn't get a chance. Personally I don't think in it's current state/design it is overly suitable for deployment onto MediaWiki wiki as it will introduce a external factor on the page load for each visitor, although I haven't looked at the current privacy policy but it is generally considered a no-no for us. Also I do have concerns about the overall usefullness of the data and how it will correlate with the extensions, especially when it comes to matching to individual release versions and overall participation on data submission.
