Hello all,

I am pleased to announce that the GitLab consultation is now open.

The open discussion period is set to run for 4 weeks, starting today.


4.5 weeks later and the consultation period is now closed (at the end of 
today, whenever that is for you).


Per the timeline the working group will begin (continue, really) its 
deliberations and then we will share out our decision by Friday Oct 23rd.


Thank you for your engagement,

Greg, on behalf of the GitLab Consultation Working Group

[Wikitech-l] [MediaWiki-Docker] Change to working directory

[Jeena Huneidi]

Hi,

This is an informational message for users of MediaWiki-Docker.

We just merged a change[0] to Mediawiki-Docker's working directory. This
change was made in order to support rest.php[1]. It also makes use of a new
docker image that fixes issues with loading pages with slashes in
VisualEditor[2].

As a result of this change, your existing LocalSettings.php file may point
to the wrong database directory. Although there is a script that should
update it automatically for you[3], you can take a look at the
DEVELOPERS.md troubleshooting section in core if you happen to run into an
issue connecting to your database.

[Wikitech-l] Deployment of MediaWiki 1.36.0-wmf.11: status is blocked

[Mukunda Modell]

This week's deployment branch of MediaWiki encountered multiple issues
during deployments, first on Wednesday and again on Thursday, ultimately
ending in rolling back to wmf.10 each time[1].  Further, Thursday's
deployment resulted in a security incident which is currently still under
investigation[2].

Due to the ongoing investigation, deployments of wmf.11 are blocked until
further notice.

You can find more information in Phabricator and I will update this mailing
list when the status changes.

Sincerely,
The humble train conductor.

1. T263177 1.36.0-wmf.11 deployment blockers

2. T264370 User authentication security issue (Oct 1)
