It doesn't show it anymore. Probably it was because of replication lag or
something like that.

Re: [Wikitech-l] Improvements to developer events in the WMF Annual Plan draft

[zppix e]

A suggestion would be to host a annual cloud (remote) hackathon type event
where participants can join via hangouts. I'd be willing to help organize
this if need be. I think it would help users that may not be comfortable
traveling or don't feel like applying for travel funds from WMF or don't
have the funds in general. I also think this would help users that aren't
per say developers get their issues heard and worked on without waiting
months for a task to be seen/replied/worked on. It could also be used by
developers to talk with WMF staff "face to face". However, I do think as
well that WMF team meetings should be documented and transcribed (for
public viewing at least) keeping in mind obvious security concerns and such
redacted of course.
Any questions? Feel free to reply to me here, ask on freenode, or on my
User page on enwiki.

[Wikitech-l] Community Tech team seeking back-end developer for anti-harassment tools

[Ryan Kaldari]

Sorry for the spam, but the Community Tech team at the WMF is currently
looking for an experienced back-end developer for the anti-harassment tools
team (a sub-team of Community Tech). To read about the sort of work that
team will be doing, see
https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Community_health_initiative#Anti-Harassment_Tools.
We would really, really love to find a developer who is already familiar
with Wikipedia and the workflows of the community. If this sounds
interesting to you, please submit a resume and cover letter at
https://boards.greenhouse.io/wikimedia/jobs/546212?gh_src=lis07f1#.WQKV9cm1tE4

[Wikitech-l] 1.29 branched, master is now 1.30

[Chad]

Hi,

What it says in the subject :) I've made the REL1_29 branch from master (as
of 273eea7357c546d1a1aafd73320e10e8ddac79eb) and have bumped the version to
1.29.0-rc.0 (from alpha). All extensions, skins and vendor have been
branched as well.

I've just landed the change to master that bumps it to 1.30.0-rc.0.

Let the backports begin! (I want to be generous this time too, so bring 'em
at me)

Re: [Wikitech-l] Improvements to developer events in the WMF Annual Plan draft

[Isarra Yos]

Thanks.

Different events serve very different purposes, though - hackathons, for 
instance, seem to be largely useful for onboarding newcomers and giving 
staff and other occupational contributors an opportunity to work on 
projects separate from their usual work, basically whatever they feel 
like doing, as opposed to what they have to. But these often don't do 
much for established volunteers, as a result, who generally just work on 
whatever they feel like all the time already. Have you looked into how 
the roles of these different events fit together across all the 
different groups, and how scopes affect them (regional, topical, etc)? 
This would also be useful for chapters/groups planning their own events.


How exactly is publishing a roadmap going to help facilitate community 
contributions?

Hi Isarra,

thank you for the question. We want to support our diverse technical 
communities in a variety of ways. One of our key tools are the hackathons, 
where we hope to welcome both seasoned and new volunteer developers. We want to 
support them not just by providing a series of events but also with tools and 
WMF staff time. These are the key goals of our new Wikimedia Cloud Services 
team. They build and make labs and tools available and participate in the 
hackathons to onboard newcomers and in general assist volunteers. Another key 
change we are making this year is creating the MediaWiki Platform team who as 
well as  doing much needed work on the codebase will also facilitate 
contributions and planning with the volunteer community by publishing a 
roadmap. And as Quim notes below we are changing the nature of the Dev Summit 
to have it focus on the strategic technology issues and decisions the Movement 
is faced with. As such it is an event that might appeal more to the seasoned 
members of our community. Attendance for the summit will be decided on the 
basis of position papers for WMF staff and volunteers alike. I am personally 
excited about the lineup of events this coming year. But as always we learn and 
adapt. If we collectively decide to try for a different configuration the 
following year, we can totally do that. Please keep the feedback coming!

Last year we experimented organizing technical workshops in WikiArabia,

Re: [Wikitech-l] Does Mathoid require RESTBase?

[Moritz Schubotz]

Hi James,

unfortunately it's currently a hard requirement. While it improved the
performance significantly for large content providers like Wikipedia
it made setting up mathoid on small privately hosted instances more
difficult. Setting up a simpler way to enable math on private wikis is
on my todo list.
However, this guide is the best pointer I can give at the moment:

Please let me know if you encouter difficulties following the

[Wikitech-l] Does Mathoid require RESTBase?

[James Montalvo]

Extension:Math removed client side MathJax support after MW 1.25. This
makes setup of the Math extension considerably more difficult. Mathoid was
fairly straightforward, but RESTBase seems like it is much more
complicated. Is RESTBase a hard requirement? Is there any way to connect to
Mathoid directly, the way VE can connect to Parsoid directly?

Re: [Wikitech-l] Roadmap for CX?

[Amir E. Aharoni]

Yes, it's pretty clear that Strainu refers to Content Translation. "CX" is
the most common abbreviation for it; see
https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Content_translation/Documentation/FAQ#What_is_CX.3F_Why_not_.22CT.22.3F
. Occasionally people say "CT", "CTT", "CXT", and other things, but "CX" is
the most common, and as "official" as it gets.

I'll write a detailed reply to Strainu's question very soon; thanks for
bringing this up.
