[Wikitech-l] GSOC 2014:Automatic cross-language screenshots for user documentation

[Vikas Yaligar]

Hello,

I am Vikas S Yaligar[1]. I wanted to make cross-language screenshot for
user documentation automated, which would help document maintainer. I have
made a proposal[2] for it as a part GSOC project. It would be great to get
comments on it.

[Wikitech-l] A modern, scalable and attractive skin for MediaWiki (GSoC 2014 proposal)

[Jack Phoenix]

Hi all,

I'm Jack Phoenix [1], a MediaWiki developer whose primary interests are
social tools [2] and skinning [3]. Skinning, especially when related to
core MediaWiki, is a rather esoteric area where we don't have much
developer capacity, the skinning system is obscure and not well-documented
and as a direct result of this, MediaWiki has considerably fewer
third-party skins than, for example, phpBB or WordPress.
Although most of us can agree on the fact that the skin system needs an
overhaul, that's quite a huge project which cannot be undertaken lightly
nor without prior discussion and planning. Instead, I'm proposing a few
steps in the right direction in my Google Summer of Code (GSoC) 2014
proposal "A modern, scalable and attractive skin for MediaWiki" [4].

As far as I know, nobody at the Wikimedia Foundation writes a public issue
tracker (Bugzilla), a semi-private issue tracker (OTRS), or a private
issue tracker (RT). Nor does anyone write product management tools
(Trello, Mingle). However, all of these tools need ongoing maintenance.
The (self-hosted) code review tool at the center of Wikimedia's
development and deployment processes probably deserves a dedicated
maintainer. Whether such a person is hired by the Wikimedia Foundation or
a Wikimedia Chapter, the need is definitely there. That was my point;
perhaps the term "maintenance" is causing confusion?

Whether we continue using Gerrit (and Bugzilla and ...) or if we switch to
the magical world of Phabricator, Wikimedia's development and deployment
processes need ongoing TLC at an application level. This means more than
the bare minimum of keeping the service online indefinitely; this would
ideally include regularly implementing bug fixes and enhancement requests.

Thank you!

I got my heart realigned with my work in 2012, when Sumana allowed me to
become a full-time Wikimedia contributor. I'm happy to help now Sumana in a
next step in her career, very close to the computer and human languages she
loves to tame and mold. And now she is the senior technical writer we
wanted to hire last December, a perfect fit for the position we opened when
she was hacking away!

This deserves the best ice-cream I can get today. Salut to everyone.

http://korma.wmflabs.org is more useful when data of contributors is filled
and up to date. For this we need a system to allow users to fill their own
data. Thank you for your interest in working on this.

My main concern is what list of users should we use. Your proposal (and the
initial idea of the mentors) is that Korma itself could host that list of
users, and the interface to update them. I'm proposing a way to do this
starting from the list of MediaWiki users (in this case at
http://wikitech.wikimedia.org )

Then again, I'm not the most qualified person to propose a technical
solution. See my comment at
https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=58585#c13 -- more feedback
is welcome.

The migration seems to have finished (for lolrrit-wm at least) 20

[Wikitech-l] Engineering Community Team changes

[Rob Lanphier]

Hi everyone,

I'd like to announce some changes in the Engineering Community
Team[1].   The headlines:
* Quim Gil is taking over as the new Engineering Community Manager,
effective immediately
* Sumana Harihareswara is stepping into a new role as Senior Technical
Writer, also effective immediately

The details:
The Engineering Community Team (ECT) is made up of Andre Klapper,
Guillaume Paumier, Quim Gil, and Sumana Harihareswara.  We started ECT
with Sumana leading the group back in 2012.  The ECT team has
flourished under Sumana's leadership.  Our internship programs have
scaled up pretty dramatically, all of the while increasing in quality
of output and diversity of students.  We've also gotten steadily
better in engineering communications, with weekly engineering updates
(translated even!) and great two way communication around software
bugs and other site issues.  She would be the first to point out that
a lot of this was driven by members of the team, but she set up the
conditions for many of the team's achievements (e.g. getting us
involved in Outreach Program for Women, tirelessly recruiting and
nurturing new volunteers, and working with the team to hammer out
requirements for the new things they've rolled out).

Sumana led the team until taking a three month sabbatical to attend
Hacker School in New York starting in October of last year.  In the
interim, Quim Gil stepped in to lead ECT.  After coming back from
sabbatical, Sumana has decided that she would like to take on a role
with more of a technical emphasis to utilize her newly honed skills.
As it turned out, we also independently identified the need to hire a
technical writer (even going so far as advertising an RFP while Sumana
was out, though we weren't able to fill the role).  Sumana's increased
focus on technical work combined with her background as a professional
writer made this a pretty obvious fit for the role.  Her current
project is organizing RFC review[2] and documenting the process, using
the process for reviewing MediaWiki architectural changes as a means
for documenting our architecture.

Thankfully, Sumana hired a ready-made successor with Quim Gil, who was
until now our Technical Contributor Coordinator.  In the past couple
of years, he overseen a big increase in the number of interns that get
involved in our projects via Google Summer of Code and Outreach
Program for Women.  Quim has deep experience in engineering community
management, and kept things working really well during Sumana's
absence.

With Sumana moving into a different role that then one vacated by
Quim, Quim will hold onto many of his previous technical contributor
coordination responsibilities.  So, for things you used to contact
Quim about, please still contact Quim.

Congratulations Quim and Sumana on your new roles!

Rob

​That's someone to make sure people are in the (third party) system that
pays staff. No technical administration or maintenance of
software/services. No-one writes HR software at WMF.

This is partially being discussed systematically under the umbrella of the
Project Management Tools Review work, described at
https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Project_management_tools/Review. People
should participate in the discussions there, particularly at
https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Project_management_tools/Review/Options and

[Wikitech-l] Maintaining or replacing Gerrit

[MZMcBride]

Hi.

The Gerrit installation at https://gerrit.wikimedia.org is currently a
critical part of Wikimedia's development infrastructure. I think it's
becoming increasingly clear that Gerrit needs love. To me, this means:

* working with upstream to make incremental improvements to Gerrit (such
as the great work that Christian A. and Chad H. have done) and having at
least one person dedicated to general upkeep of our Gerrit installation; or

* figuring out whether a different solution such as Phabricator makes
sense (expensive and fraught).

The Wikimedia Foundation currently has staff or contractors dedicated to
maintaining human resources software and Bugzilla, but perhaps it could
spare the additional resources for a person dedicated to Gerrit or another
code review tool. Or this is possibly an area where a Wikimedia Chapter
could provide support.

[Wikitech-l] "Bach" redirecting to "Bạch" (notice the dot under the "a")

[David Cuenca]

Hi,

When I type "bach" on the top right en.wp search box, I only have the
option to select "Bach" from the list. This option however takes me to
"Bạch" (with a dot under the "a").
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/B%E1%BA%A1ch

However when I type the url I'm taken to the right article
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bach

Is this a problem with the search box? I wanted to report the bug, but I
didn't know to which component to report it.

Cheers,
Micru

[Wikitech-l] Wikimedia Identities Editor Proposal for GSoC-14

[Sarvesh Gupta]

Hello,
I'm Sarvesh Gupta from Roorkee, India. I'm willing to participate for this
year's GSoC. The Project in which I'm interested is "WikiMedia Identities
Editor
".
My mentor for this project would be Alvaro del Castillo and Daniel
Izquierdo.

Brief Overview of the Project
This project was thought up for providing easy and efficient way to
contributors for edit or update their profile by providing a web interface.
For now contributor of MediaWiki has to go through a long process to edit
their profile, so it is a kind of compulsion for contributors to have a web
interface which facilitates them to have an easy access to their profile.
Moreover, MediaWiki unfortunately missing a proper method of syncing two
different account of a contributor, so this project also aims to merge the
data or information from multiple contributor's account to one single place.

My Proposal: "https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/User:Sarveshgpt1991/WIE";
User Page   : "http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/User:Sarveshgpt1991";
Please, go though my proposal and suggest any improvements.
Thank you

Re: [Wikitech-l] system for reviewing funding requests (GSoC idea)

[Maduranga Siriwardena]

Hi all,
First of all I would like to apologize for not including a subject in my
previous mail. Usually I'm not doing such mistakes. Secondly I would like
to apologize for being very late to respond to this mail, as I was not well
during the last week.

I went through the details given in the ideas page [1] and the relevant
links provided in the ideas page [2], [3].

I prepared a draft project proposal and created a wiki page according to
details I gathered from the above given links. And announced it to the
mailing list via [4]. You can find my project proposal from [5]. There may
be more improvements needed to the proposal. So can you please take a look
at it and propose any suggestion required. Actually I myself think adding
more wire-frames may an additional advantage (I am currently working on
that).

I have created a fix for the the bug [6] and you can find my fix from [7]
(Actually this is my second patch for this bug. It is created addressing
the proposed corrections for the previous patch) I would be greatly
appreciate if you can give any comments regarding the bug fix.
