Re: [Wikitech-l] Using mediawiki from within the Social networks?
Hi Yury, we experimented with MediaWiki as a Facebook-App. Basically this is using MW in an iFrame and passing through the Facebook authentication. Articles can be liked and commented via FB. When you edit something, it publishes that to the user's stream. Here's a prototype, in German though: https://www.facebook.com/ComputerTest/app_242056765902153 Cheers, Markus -Ursprüngliche Nachricht- Von: wikitech-l-boun...@lists.wikimedia.org [mailto:wikitech-l-boun...@lists.wikimedia.org] Im Auftrag von Yury Katkov Gesendet: Montag, 1.

Re: [Wikitech-l] Using mediawiki from within the Social networks?
well what about the user granting you the rights to the comments etc under certain conditions and they just use fb and pull that data in via the api. so you would have some pages that are autogenerated via fb, you might have Talk:page for normal users and FB:Page for fb users. mike On Tue, Oct 2, 2012 at 1:21 AM, Yury Katkov katkov.ju...@gmail.com wrote: Maybe we can brainstorm this idea a little bit together?

We're saying you don't need to rewrite it.
Assuming you're using Vector. The standard link blue is #0645AD and the
standard :visited blue is #0B0080.
So to override the .new styles in the personal area with standard colors,
just use:
#p-personal a.new { color: #0645AD; }
#p-personal a.new:visited { color: #0B0080; }
And you can use that everywhere in your own personal css, not just your
own wikis.

[Wikitech-l] Andre Klapper starts 8 October as WMF Bug Wrangler
I am delighted to announce that October 8th will be Andre Klapper's first day as Wikimedia Foundation's Bug Wrangler. [0] You've seen him on IRC as andre__ and on mediawiki.org as Malyacko, and sadly that's mostly how I'll be seeing him since he lives in the Czech Republic. He speaks German, English, French, and Czech, and can kinda read Russian. You might have met him at the 2012 Berlin hackathon. Andre got into open source because he switched to Linux, had a support question about GNOME Evolution, and got sucked into bug triage from there. You can read more about that in his essay Kick, Push in Open Advice open-advice.org. He's an editor of German- and English-language Wikimedia projects, and has already started commenting on and nudging bugs in our Bugzilla. I know Andre through the GNOME community, where he is Bugzilla maintainer and bugsquad member, member of the Release Team, member of the Translation Project Coordination team, member of the Czech GNOME translation teams, and author maintainer of the GNOME Evolution user documentation. And he organized and ran GNOME's part in Google Code-In 2010/11 and 2011/12, so he might have opinions on whether Wikimedia should participate this year. Remember Maemo? [1] Andre worked as bugmaster on Maemo and MeeGo as well. I am thoroughly pleased that we were able to snag Andre for ourselves, and think his abilities and experience make him a great addition to WMF's Engineering Community Team and to Wikimedia. Welcome! [0] In case you're new and wondering what a bug wrangler does: http://tieguy.org/talks-files/LCA-2005-paper-html/index.html . In case you're an old-timer: this is the same job Mark Hershberger did as Bugmeister and I changed the title to something less gendered. [1] Last year at the GSoC mentor summit, Andre and I were sitting next to each other in a session, both got out our N900s to take notes, and started laughing.

Hi, update on http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/User:Qgil/MediaWiki_Community_Metrics - Amgine proposed to describe the problem first, and now we have http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/User:Qgil/MediaWiki_Community_Metrics#Problems_we_want_to_solve - ^demon, MarkTraceur and Diederik provided more feedback on what exists and what can't be provided nowadays. Very useful to focus the goals of the first prototype. For instance, even if would be useful to know where are the contributors located, the facts is that we don't have this data. - After a call with Diederik we both agree that that the best initial approach is to look at what can Gerrit provide, and use/expand gerrit-stats + Limn for the first Dashboard prototype.

[Wikitech-l] GC cache entry
Time to time, we receive a strange warning message

From APC configuration (
http://us.php.net/manual/en/apc.configuration.php#ini.apc.gc-ttl )
*apc.gc_ttl integer*
The number of seconds that a cache entry may remain on the
garbage-collection list. This value provides a fail-safe in the event that
a server process dies while executing a cached source file; if that source
file is modified, the memory allocated for the old version will not be
reclaimed until this TTL reached. Set to zero to disable this feature.
We get messages GC cache entry '%s' (dev=%d ino=%d) was on gc-list for %d
seconds or GC cache entry '%s'was on gc-list for %d seconds in this
condition:
(gc_sec cache-gc_ttl) (dead-value-ref_count 0)
First condition means, item was deleted later then apc.gc_ttl seconds ago
and its still in garbage collector list.
Seconds condition means, item is still referenced.
e.g., when a process unexpectedly died, reference is not decreased. First
apc.ttl seconds is active in APC cache, then is deleted (there isn't next
hit on this item). Now item is on garbage collector list (GC) and
apc.gc_ttl timeout is running.
When apc.gc_ttl is less then (now - item_deletion_time), warning is written
and item is finally completely flushed.
So what should we do?

Re: [Wikitech-l] GC cache entry
I think the latter case is a likely candidate, as we see a couple hundred
apache worker segfaults daily, in both php5 and libxml2 space. The first
case is likely a bug in php core and it's worth checking whether we'd see
the same behavior running a current php release. Core analysis may help us
determine if a reproduceable state always leads to the crash. Similarly
with libxml2. I suppose we'd have to patch apc with additional logging to
really know for sure that this is the cause.
From your understanding of the apc source, when would such items ever
actually be freed? Only on apache restart?

When apc.gc_ttl is less then (now - item_deletion_time), warning is written and item is finally completely flushed. So what should we do? That's the point of the apc.gc_ttl feature. The shared memory pool was being exhausted because of reference leaks, so we set apc.gc_ttl to release the leaked objects. We set it to a value much higher than the request timeout, so it's unlikely to release an object which is in use. I don't think the warning is an issue which needs to be fixed. Maybe the segfaults need to be fixed, if segfaults are causing the leaks. -- Tim Starling ___ Wikitech-l mailing list Wikitech-l@lists.wikimedia.org https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikitech-l

Re: [Wikitech-l] Using mediawiki from within the Social networks?
Wow, nice! Ok, it's possible to log the users in (with some warnings but still). Very well. The goal here is to substitute the complex MediaWiki UI with some simple and beautifully-looking social network apps to eventually bring more users to the wiki. Mike Dupont started the list of activities that can be done for the wiki using the social network UI: 1) commenting, likes What other one-click valuable activities I can imagine: 2) Voting and rating the articles. Agreeing or disagreeing with some small sections. 3) making friends that will be reflected in the wiki with the help of social extensions 4) reading news. RSS of any wiki sucks and here the admins can form the human-readable news about the life on a wiki 5) categorizing articles or (much better) images and media files I'm not sure that '''editing''' can be made more easy with the help of social network client. Any ideas on that? any ideas on what else can be made more engaging with the power of social networks? - Yury Katkov On Tue, Oct 2, 2012 at 4:11 PM, Markus Glaser gla...@hallowelt.biz wrote: Hi Yury, we experimented with MediaWiki as a Facebook-App. Basically this is using MW in an iFrame and passing through the Facebook authentication.
