Re: [Wikitech-l] Gerrit authentication fails

[Tyler Cipriani]

Hi Swathi!

In looking in the gerrit logs it looks like you have two wikitech developer
accounts and there are failures signing in with the most recent one. This
is because Gerrit uses a single primary email per account and since you've
already signed in with your previous username that email is "claimed". I'll
follow-up with you off-list to determine which account you're trying to use.

Thanks!

I really appreciate this, can we rename the historical reports to use 
ISO dates too (leaving behind redirects of course)?

Hi Erica,

Thanks for the announcement, I'm glad to see some love given to Maps. Could
you explain how this initiative interacts with the planned improvements
from WMDE [3]?

Thank you,

[Wikitech-l] Maps Modernization plan - FYI

[Erica Litrenta]

Greetings,

This is a follow up from our last email some months ago (and a crosspost).
You may already have seen today's announcement from Legal about the
upcoming changes to the Maps Terms of Use. Here is an extra heads-up
that Wikimedia
Maps are transitioning towards a more modern architecture. The first phase
of this transition will be replacing Tilerator [0] with Tegola [1] as our
vector tile server. This is a change in the Maps infrastructure, so there
should be little to no impact to the end users’ experience.

It is important that we are able to provide software that is sustainable to
support, before we can guarantee a reliable user experience. Wikimedia Maps
aim to provide Wikimedia users a consistent experience contributing to and
learning about geoinformation. To achieve this goal, we will empower those
engineers maintaining the Wikimedia Maps infrastructure to do so with ease
and low effort.

If you want to learn more, please head to mediawiki.org [2], where you will
also find a Questions & Answers section.

Thanks, and take care,

Erica Litrenta (on behalf of the Product Infrastructure team)

[Wikitech-l] Upcoming change to the Wikimedia Maps Terms of Use

[Stephen LaPorte]

Hi all,

On April 5, 2020, we will update the Wikimedia Maps Terms of Use. Following
the access limits announced in August 2020 [0] and implemented in October
2020 [1], the Wikimedia Maps service no longer supports third-party usage
of Wikimedia map tiles. We are now updating the terms to reflect this
policy.

This change will not affect support for Wikimedia Maps on the Wikimedia
projects, tools hosted on Wikimedia Cloud Services, or other allowed
Wikimedia-affiliated domains. [2]

The updated Maps Terms of Use is available here:
https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Revised_Maps_Terms_of_Use_(March_2021)

If you have any suggestions, you can add them to the talk page:
https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Talk:Revised_Maps_Terms_of_Use_(March_2021)

Under our Maps Terms of Use, we've committed to providing 14 days notice
before changes are made to the policy.

Best,
Stephen

[Wikitech-l] Coming soon: Improved colors for syntax highlighting

[Johanna Strodt]

// sorry for cross-posting

Hi! Another improvement for the syntax highlighting (CodeMirror) is coming
soon:

The Technical Wishes team at Wikimedia Deutschland will update the colors
in the syntax highlighting feature to add more contrast, improving
accessibility and readability. The changes ensure that the syntax
highlighting color scheme is compliant with the Web Content Accessibility
Guidelines (WCAG 1.4.3 AA).[1]

This not only helps people with reduced vision, but can also be helpful
when editing in glaring daylight. Examples can be found on the project
page.[2]

As usual, we deploy in batches, and plan to start with a German, Catalan
and Turkish Wikipedia on March 24.[3]

Feedback is, as always, welcome on the talk page of the project.[4]


Best,
Johanna for the Technical Wishes team
