[Wikitech-l] Gerrit downtime tomorrow evening / early morning

2017-01-04 Thread Chad Horohoe 
Hi,

Doing a (minor) point release upgrade to Gerrit tomorrow evening to deal
with a data loss bug we can potentially hit.
While we're offline, we're going to push out a change that enables logging
to Logstash.

Window is 17:00-19:00 SF time (that's 01:00-03:00 UTC).

Thanks for your patience :)

-Chad

[Wikitech-l] [Wikimedia Labs][Announce] NFS (only labs projects) maintenance on 2017-01-18

2017-01-04 Thread Madhumitha Viswanathan 
Hello,

Continuing the storage redundancy and reliability efforts for Labs (
https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T126083), the final migration to the new
NFS storage cluster for Labs projects with NFS enabled is upcoming. The
migration is planned to happen 2017-01-18 starting 09:00 PST(16:00 UTC).
This *does not* affect tools, maps or any other projects that don't have
/home or /data/project mounted. The migration window is expected to be
fairly short (<3 hours) - but could last up to 6 hours.

During the migration, no new data will be written to NFS (/home or
/data/project), but existing data will be accessible in Read-only mode for
the most part. Post migration, any services or jobs that were running on
top of NFS (/home or /data/project) will require manual restarts. Jobs
running on top of /scratch or /public/dumps will be unaffected. I will keep
the lists and #wikimedia-labs updated on progress during and after the
migration.

The list of labs projects that will be affected in this migration are:


   - catgraph


   - account-creation-assistance


   - contributors


   - wikidata-topicmaps


   - sugarcrm


   - wikidumpparse


   - video


   - openstack


   - testlabs


   - wikidata-dev


   - quarry


   - huggle


   - editor-engagement


   - utrs


   - wmt


   - cvn


   - fastcci


   - toolsbeta


   - project-proxy


   - dumps


   - bots


   - snuggle


   - math


   - wikisource-tools


The tracking task on phabricator is here -
https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T154336. Let us know if you have any
questions or concerns on the list or on #wikimedia-labs.

Re: [Wikitech-l] More Google Code-in 2016 achievements

2017-01-04 Thread Tony Thomas 
I think Andre missed the `Newsletter extension` in this report though.
Checking https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/project/board/888/query/all/ we
had *39* tasks for this round, with *4* still in the website. We welcome
the community to take a look at http://newsletter-test.wmflabs.org/ and
play around with the newsletters at
http://newsletter-test.wmflabs.org/wiki/Special:Newsletters. In case you
want rights to create/edit, please ping on
http://newsletter-test.wmflabs.org/wiki/User_talk:Admin

On a side note, previous GSoC/Outreachy students can use GCI
effectively to *finish
of things* which were left from their project, and specially to get your
work hit production. These can be as simple task like fixing some function
argument docs to things as complicated as implementing a new special page
with all cool functions etc. The students around are pretty hard working
and know a good enough deal of MW by this point, worry not.

Thank you for all the students who made this round a wonderful one for the
newsletter extension, and hope to see it hit production soon.

Thanks,
Tony Thomas

[Wikitech-l] More Google Code-in 2016 achievements

2017-01-04 Thread Andre Klapper 
We have entered the last two weeks of Google Code-in:
https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Google_Code-in_2016

More than 250 tasks have been resolved by students so far.

PLEASE HELP: We expect an increase in activity in the last week.
So if you have one or two more tasks in mind to mentor, add them. 
It's now or never!

To list some students' achievements in the last two weeks:

 * Converted Special:RecentChanges to OOUI
 * Allowed users to apply change tags as they make logged actions using
   the MediaWiki API (for 'imagerotate' and 'revisiondelete')
 * 'mw-changeslist-legend' is not present anymore on
   Special:RecentChanges in MediaWiki's Minerva skin
 * Disabled the statistics update when running
   'maintenance/importDump.php' (to improve its performance)
 * Added 'UnblockUser' + 'UnblockUserComplete' hooks to Special:Unblock
 * Fixed a PHP error when transwiki'ing Special:Import via a redirected
   interwiki URL
 * Added a $wgHTTPImportTimeout setting for Special:Import
 * Fixed a variable interpolation in MediaWiki's Echo extension
 * Added an id attribute to the "mw-error-cannotundelete" error message
 * Removed /* @noflip */ Leaflet's CSS fixes
 * Removed the deprecated WebRequest::checkSessionCookie() method in
   MediaWiki 1.29
 * Fixed coding standards and added phpcs checks in the IDS extension
 * Added ability to configure the web service endpoint in IDS
 * Updated screenshots in VE's user guide about editing galleries
 * Added GeoData + WikiHiero extension screenshots to their home pages
 * Number of observations for Wikipedia's "idwiki" database set to
   10 in the Edit Quality Prediction model
 * Glossary wiki pages on mw.org follow the formatting guidelines
 * Added showThumbnails attribute to slideshow galleries

Again, congratulations to all our hard-working students and thanks to
all our mentors providing tasks and reviewing them quickly.

As usual: Please contact us if you need help or have questions!
