I'm happy to work on stuff like this if I can team up with someone who will
review my stuff quickly. For a task like this, the same day would be best.

Working on core has been extremely frustrating, with review latency measured in
weeks and months.

Feel like doing a sprint with me?

Actually, I have just learned that WikiToLearn was recognized as a
Wikimedia User Group last month:
https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/WikiToLearn_User_Group

Another tech-savvy group in the Wikimedia movement, good news!

Yaron Koren added useful information about other MediaWiki-related projects
that were developed by WikiToLearn, another organization participating in
GSoC 2016.

[Wikitech-l] img_auth.php and extensions

2016-09-15 Thread Robert Vogel 
Hello everybody,

some time ago I've overtaken maintainership of extension "NSFileRepo", which 
allows to secure access to uploaded files based on namespace permissions 
set/managed by extension "Lockdown". It worked well with LTS release 1.23, but 
unfortunately due to some changes in "img_auth.php" [1] [2] it does not work in 
current LTS release 1.27. I've tried to rewrite the extension to fit into the 
new system [3], but it seems to be a hacky approach. There is already a 
Pabricator task (T140334 [4]) in which I've asked for support (and also got 
some good responses), but I want to draw some attention by writing to this 
mailing list. Any help, hints, comments are much appreciated.
