*** You can now use ES6 code in MediaWiki core, extensions, and skins, as
long as it's in a feature that doesn't need to support IE11. ResourceLoader
modules that use ES6 code have to be flagged as such, and you will need to
put ES6 code in a separate directory so that different eslint rules can be
applied. For detailed instructions on how to start using ES6 in your code,
see https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/ResourceLoader/ES6 .

* [RelEng] After several failed attempts to rollout wmf.28, we abandoned
the release and moved on to wmf.29. This was done because (1) wmf.29 is a
superset of code in wmf.28 (2) we need a stable base to rollback to and
there was not enough time to determine wmf.28's stability.
* [Performance] New synthetic testing user journey dashboard:

** https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/5_Minute_Demo#Recordings_and_Presenters

* Parsoid
Services (Core Platform) and Parsing team deployed code this week that
implements HTML version (content) negotiation protocol alongwith a major
version bump of Parsoid HTML from 1.8.0 to 2.0.0 (
https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Specs/HTML/2.0.0 ). As part of this,
RESTBase + Parsoid will enforce the HTML version requested in the Accept
header. If a version is requested that is different (^ semantics) than what
is available in storage, RESTBase will ask Parsoid to get the appropriate
version. If Parsoid cannot do that, it will return a HTTP 406. What does it
mean for Parsoid clients? If you are requesting a really old version in
your Accept header, you are very likely going to get a HTTP 406. If you
request an older version (1.7 or 1.8), you will see an additional latency
to your requests while Parsoid downgrades the HTML from the more up to date
version. So, Parsoid clients should provide an accept header with the most
up-to-date version of Parsoid HTML you can handle. Subsequently, you should
update your code to handle the newer versions in a timely manner. A longer
announcement and wiki docs will be coming out soon.

version 1.3.0, which is implemented in the Content Service based on Parsoid
HTML instead of using TextExtracts. (slow rollout = only recent changes for
now, going to speed up transition in the upcoming days or week). It aims to
improve the quality of summary extracts (not cutting off text before the
end of the first paragraph anymore; stripping of contents in parentheses,
...). It also provides more properties in the output. (Example:

** Question to everyone: Every once in a while, Parsoid makes changes that
requires downstream clients to update / approve changes. Longer-term, once
Parsoid HTML is used for everything, we have a formal content-negotiation
process that includes content versioning and version headers, but for now,
when our clients are all internal and the contention negotiation support is
not yet in place in the Parsoid + RESTBase stack, something quicker and
simpler for faster change deployment is what we need. We have followed a
combo of gerrit / phab / irc / email / SoS for this so far, but suggestions
welcome for of how best to get everyone's attention and action in a timely
fashion. Or is our combo process the best way to make this happen?

* Updates:
** RCFilters
*** Bug fixes, especially regarding RecentChangesLinked page; also,
LiveUpdate
** Ruby browser tests
*** We're removing most of our Ruby browser tests, since we decided the
value doesn't justify the time investment of converting them to node.js,
and Ruby support is being removed completely.
* Ongoing work on Flow frontend experimentation; mostly consolidated on a
plan for this.

 UI Standardization 
** Special OOUI v0.24.4 release coming today with some backports to address
issues uncovered in v0.24.3
*** 2 deprecating changes, icons 'bellOn' of 'alerts' pack, 'quotesAdd' &
'redirect' of 'editing-advanced' have been identified to be unused nor
won't be used in future.

   - Will be removed in v0.26.0

*** Add 'lightbulb' icon to 'interactions' pack
*** Also introduce OO.ui.getDefaultOverlay function that provides a more
solid default OOUI overlay handling within other core theme elements
(Bartosz Dziewoński)
* Ongoing:
** OOUI & based products:
*** icons: Finalizing work on icon set to be more harmonious and align to
WikimediaUI Style Guide https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T177432 –

*** section-tag and figure-inline-tag patches merged; YET to bump HTML
version number to 1.6.0
*** html5 ids patch in WIP; depending on how that goes, we may bundle that
with the next deploy with a HTML version bump from 1.5.0 -> 1.6.0;
*** If you use and process Parsoid HTML, please test your code with Parsoid
master
*** Parsoid should be backward compatible for the html -> wikitext
direction; we should be able to process v1.5.0 or the newer HTML (or some
combination of the two as well :)). Please report bugs if you see any
problems.
*** If testing early next week goes okay and we get a green from everyone,
we will deploy next Thursday. If not, will push to the following week
** Tidy replacement
*** It looks like Remex got turned off on the cluster on Oct 26 as part of

didn't notify me when James added me to the ticket, and Tim may not have
known either. I've added both of us to the RemexHTML project .. so
hopefully will receive project notifications in the future. But, when you
switch off a feature in production, please make sure the responsible folks

*** Tim has fixed the problem and the fix will go out next week.
** Linter
*** Over the last week, I finished running a script to re-generate linter

maintained). [https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T139740 task]
* Tidy replacement: if you are an editor on some wiki, please get the word
out to your wikis to fix the high-priority linter issues. We want to get
Tidy removed from the cluster sooner than later.A bunch of wikis (including
mediawiki) no longer have Tidy, and a few 100 small wikis can get Tidy
replaced based on stats about linter issues (
https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Parsing/Replacing_Tidy/Linter/Stats/2017-11-06#Wikis_with_zero_high-priority_errors
).
But would be good to get some largish wikis moved over so we can identify
any lingering problems sooner than later.

testing before being deployed.
** We are likely to merge both the  wrapper code as well as the
 code at the same time so that we can bump the HTML version
number once.
*** Looks like cxserver/CX has patches to handle section output. Is MCS
ready to handle Parsoid's section output? C.Scott said he is going to add a

**Working full steam to hit our goal of having a backend for wikistats 2.0
to support editing metrics (unique devices and pageviews are alredy
supported on ui). It is looking like we are going to split our current
druid cluster (6 hosts) into two clusters: one private, one public so
restbase services connect to public cluster.  The security concerns arising
from this decision will probably make the goal spill into next quarter but
we will have an alpha next quarter if no suprises arise.
**We have use differential for 1 quarter and we are going back to gerrit,
not much value added.
**Eventlogging purging progressing much too slowly, it is becoming clear we
cannot sustain mysql backend for EventLogging, we are prioritizing
sunsetting mysql, replacing it with a better EventLogging analytics
experience on the Hadoop cluster
**Removing outdated instrumentation of events from EventLogging that are
now automagically available via eventbus, like “page create”.

***  wrapping code is now out of WIP and in review (
https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/#/c/364933/) -- please test your code to
make sure you can handle  wrappers. If necessary, you can
pre-process the DOM to strip out  tags. Parsoid's output is
guaranteed to preserve template wrapping semantics with / without 
tags.

** 2/3 team members on vacation next week (1 on vacation this week) .. so,
between Wikimania, Kiwix Hackathon, and hiring, things have been and wil be
a bit slow around here till we get into September.
** Work ongoing to introduce  output in Parsoid for inline
images (https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/#/c/370227/ ;
https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T118520 ). If any reading / editing
clients have concerns, please leave comments on the patch. But, we'll
consult you all before deploying
** Heads up: Similar work ongoing in core (
https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/#/c/370206/ and
https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/#/c/196532/ )  -- this will be a bit more
involved since gadgets might potentially be affected and will take a longer
time to get deployed.

=== Analytics ===
*2 team members in wikimania, 2 on family leave, 1 of our team members
coming back next week from parental leave. Not a lot happened.
*We figured out issue with timeouts in varnishkafka, there was one host
running too new of a version of kafka API
*Still working on purging eventlogging data, moving to cluster some data
out of MySQL (will make DBAs happy). Couple tables that are about 0.5 tb.
*Ordering new hosts to replace eventlogging MYSQL hosts using some budget
we will not need for the new Kafka cluster.
*Edit History Reconstruction, made a snapshoot custom for Neil (editing
data analysts) to calculate metrics on.
*Wikimetrics had stop working due to some recent changes to labs db
connection limits, fixed that.

use it for PayPal express checkout
* refinements to CiviCRM<->bulk mailer data flows
