[Wikitech-l] Phab blogs

[Amir E. Aharoni]

Hi,

I only now noticed that Phabricator has blogs:
https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/phame/blog/

I couldn't find a way to subscribe to them in RSS. Is it possible?

[Wikitech-l] GSoC 2016 | Porting catimages to pywikibot-core

[Abdeali Kothari]

Hi,

I'm a student from Chennai, India and my project is going to be related to
performing image processing on the images on commons.wikimedia to automate
categorization. DrTrigon had made the script catimages.py a few years ago
which was made in the old pywikipedia-bot framework. I'll be working
towards updating the script to the pywikibot-core framework, updating it's
dependencies, and using newer techniques when possible.

catimages.py is a script that analyzes an image using various computer
vision algorithms and allots categories to the image on commons. For
example, consider algorithms that detect faces, barcodes, etc. The script
uses these to categorize images to Category:Unidentified People,
Category:Barcode, and so on.

If you have any suggestions and categorizations you think might be useful
to you, drop in at #gsoc-catimages on freenode or my talk page[0]. You can
find out more about me on User:AbdealiJK[1] and about the project
at T129611[2].

Yeah, that sounds good, I implemented that change in PS22. Clients that
still need to pass in raw HTML can use the new
MediaWiki\Linker\HtmlArmor class to prevent it from being escaped.

[Wikitech-l] Installer broken on master, please merge the fix!

[Daniel Kinzler]

Adam noticed that I broke the installer when introducing MediaWikiServices 
(see T135169). In particular, localization and CSS stopped working. Here's the 
fix:

Please review!

Re: [Wikitech-l] Proposal to invest in Phabricator Calendar

[Quim Gil]

I wouldn't base any data analysis on the #Phabricator-Upstream workboard.
Let's look at the tasks themselves.

https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/maniphest/query/Ou8pP.fE9ufA/#R shows 131
tasks with #Phabricator-Upstream tag and status Resolved. In almost every
Phabricator update we are getting some fixes to bugs that were filed in
Wikimedia Phabricator. If anything, I keep being impressed by the capacity
of such small team to do so much work.

Rob is right pointing that our priorities will not be necessarily the
Phabricator maintainers' priorities. Our experience discussing priorities
with Phabricator maintainers is very good. By that I mean that they have a
clear idea of their roadmap, what is aligned and what it isn't. Discussions
about prioritization and funding have been pretty straightforward until
now. Let's have our list defined, and then I'm sure Andre, Mikunda, Chad,
Greg, and myself will be able to reach a good agreement with the
Phabricator maintainers.
