The Technical Advice IRC Meeting (TAIM) is a weekly support event for volunteer developers. This week we have a special theme, related to the upcoming Wikimedia Technical Conference focusing on Developer Productivity. In particular we're interested in hearing about your experiences with developer productivity in the context of your work with on-wiki tools (gadgets, templates, modules, etc). Your input is going to be useful for the "Developer Productivity & onwiki tooling" ( https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T234661) session held at the Conference next week.

Sorry for cross-posting! Reminder: Technical Advice IRC meeting this week **Wednesday 4-5 pm UTC** on #wikimedia-tech. *Note the time change due to Berlin having switched to winter time!* Questions can be asked in English, and Spanish! The Technical Advice IRC Meeting (TAIM) is a weekly support event for volunteer developers. Every Wednesday, two full-time developers are available to help you with all your questions about MediaWiki, gadgets, tools and more! This can be anything from "how to get started" over "who would be the best contact for X" to specific questions on your project. If you already know what you would like to discuss or ask, please add your topic to the next meeting: https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Technical_Advice_IRC_Meeting Hope to see you there! -- Leszek Manicki Engineering Manager Wikimedia Deutschland e.

Re: [Wikitech-l] Scrum of scrums/2019-07-31
Dear Readers of Scrum of Scrum notes in the email form, due to my mistake part of Wikidata entries this week have been listed incorrectly under "German Technical Wishlist". It is Wikdata team that is still blocking Search Platform: RDF export of MediaInfo entities. Also, it was Wikidata team that intended to update that there is a significant reduction in size of Wikibase-related ResourceLoader modules loaded on every page view on Wikibase Clients (Wikipedias) expected to go live today: https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T203696 There has been no reports from German Technical Wishlist team this week. Apologies for the mistake. The HTML version on mediawiki.org is also corrected now.

Re: [Wikitech-l] 2019-03-20 Scrum of Scrums meeting notes
Hi, thanks for the notes, Željko. A quick question about SRE callout: "Goal planning ongoing but inevitably partly delayed, SRE asks for your requests for next quarter.". Where those requests should be addressed to?

[Wikitech-l] Notes on creating a RTL-accessible tool in MediaWiki
Hi all! When developing the Revision Slider extension [1] earlier this year, we (at Wikimedia Germany) have learned quite some things about making extensions and gadgets accessible for RTL language users. We have just published the write up [2] summarizing what we've discovered. We hope people developing new and existing tools, and in general developers sensitive to RTL accessibility issues will find these notes interesting and/or helpful. Any comments are welcome!
