[Wikitech-l] Better Support for Mobile in Wikistats2

[Nuria Ruiz]

Hello!

Analytics is working on better support for mobile in wikistats2:
http://stats.wikimedia.org/v2

Do take a look at latest changes and if there are issues that prevent you
from using this site in mobile let us know.

A phabricator ticket (http://phabricator.wikimedia.org) with a screenshot
will be great.

Site should be usable in:
* last two versions of any major desktop browser (chrome, FF, edge and
safari)
* any newish iOS device (iphone4 and up) that has been kept up to date
* android 4.4 and up

We are still working on improving our mobile support and happy to take
requests on higher levels of support for browsers we might have not
considered.

This is the work we have planned for next quarter:

   - Persistent links for metrics. Bookmarks. task T179444
   
   - Support annotations task T178015
   
   - Label non obvious concepts task T177950
   
   - Improvements on pageview data per country task T188928
   


Thanks,

Nuria

This is still the case. Updates available on the relevant tasks.

We plan to resume the train (catch up) early next week.

Sorry for the inconvenience.

[Wikitech-l] Code of conduct committee call for new members

[Amir Ladsgroup]

Hello all,

It's coming close to time for annual appointments of community members to
serve on the Code of Conduct (CoC) committee. The Code of Conduct Committee
is a team of five trusted individuals plus five auxiliary members with
diverse affiliations responsible for general enforcement of the Code of
conduct for Wikimedia technical spaces. Committee members are in charge of
processing complaints, discussing with the parties affected, agreeing on
resolutions, and following up on their enforcement. For more on their
duties and roles, see
https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Code_of_Conduct/Committee


This is a call for community members interested in volunteering for
appointment to this committee. Volunteers serving in this role should be
experienced Wikimedians or have had experience serving in a similar
position before.



The current committee is doing the selection and will research and discuss
candidates. Six weeks before the beginning of the next Committee term,
meaning 8th of April 2018, they will publish their candidate slate (a list
of candidates) on-wiki. The community can provide feedback on these
candidates, via private email to the group choosing the next Committee. The
feedback period will be two weeks. The current Committee will then either
finalize the slate, or update the candidate slate in response to concerns
raised. If the candidate slate changes, there will be another two week
feedback period covering the newly proposed members. After the selections
are finalized, there will be a training period, after which the new
Committee is appointed. The current Committee continues to serve until the
feedback, selection, and training process is complete.

If you are interested in serving on this committee or like to nominate a
candidate, please write an email to techconductcandidates AT wikimedia.org
with details of your experience on the projects, your thoughts on the code
of conduct and the committee and what you hope to bring to the role and
whether you have a preference in being auxiliary or constant member of the
committee. The committee consists of five members plus five auxiliary
members and they will serve for six months; all applications are
appreciated and will be carefully considered. The deadline for applications
is end of day on 5th of April, 2018.

Please feel free to pass this invitation along to any users who you think
may be qualified and interested.


Best,

Amir on behalf of the CoC committee

Re: [Wikitech-l] changes coming to large dumps

[Ariel Glenn WMF]

Here it comes:

For the April 1st run and all following runs, the Wikidata dumps of
pages-meta-current.bz2 will be produced only as separate downloadable
files, no recombined single file will be produced.

No other dump jobs will be impacted.

A reminder that each of the single downloadable pieces has the siteinfo
header and the mediawiki footer so they may all be processed separately by
whatever tools you use to grab data out of the combined file. If your
workflow supports it, they may even be processed in parallel.

I am still looking into what the best approach is for the pags-articles
dumps.

Please forward wherever you deem appropriate. For further updates, don't
forget to check the Phab ticket!  https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T179059
