Re: [Wikitech-l] Bringing OpenID as a provider to Wikimedia projects
quote name=Ryan Lane date=2013-02-22 time=14:00:49 -0800 This isn't really a matter of having one or the other. As Marc has mentioned, we need some non-hacky form of authentication for bots, tools, out-of-cluster applications, and non-mediawiki applications. Right, figured not, just trying to clarify. OpenID as a consumer is a more difficult task for a number of reasons. I like to tackle problems one at a time and making a provider is an easy first step.

This is great, and I look forward to faster and higher-quality deployments!

Re: [Wikitech-l] Who is responsible for accepting backported patch sets for maintained versions?

I think the answer is now that Greg Grossmeier fills the role of MediaWiki's release manager so he will have to answer this. :-) This subject has come up a couple of times in the past week so I look forward to working with Greg to implement some policy around MediaWiki releases -- especially the point releases for 1.19, the LTS release. There is a lot to discuss and I look forward to those conversations. Hello! To make this explicit: Everyone: please do feel free to contact me (email or on IRC, I'm greg-g) with any ideas, concerns, breakthroughs, gotchas, whatever dealing with this topic. I might not be able to do anything about it now, and I might not be the right person to deal with it in all cases, but I can help route things and keep notes so that we don't lose track of good ideas. Generally, what can you expect from me in this new role? I hope the email robla sent announcing my position can clarify much of it: http://lists.wikimedia.org/pipermail/wikitech-l/2013-February/066672.html Quoting robla: Greg will be managing the deployment process for the Wikimedia websites, focusing at first on improving release notes and outbound communication, freeing up folks like Sam to focus the engineering aspects of the role.
