Re: [Wikitech-l] Upcoming Search Platform Office Hours—December 6th

[Trey Jones]

Due to a clever copy-n-paste-o on my part, I sent the right day but not the
right date for the next Search Platform Office Hours—which will be this
Wednesday, December 4th. Updated below.

Re: [Wikitech-l] PHP 7.4.0 code testing now available in Wikimedia CI

[Florian Schmidt]

James: Simply awesome! Thanks for your time and work you invested to get it 
working :)

Betreff: [Wikitech-l] PHP 7.4.0 code testing now available in Wikimedia CI

All,

Over the US holiday weekend, PHP 7.4.0 final was released, and so I've made it 
available in Wikimedia CI as an experimental job.[0]

Although it will generally work as a drop-in replacement for PHP 7.3.x testing, 
because of the breadth and depth of our code bases it's likely that there will 
be some issues; there are already some known problems with MediaWiki core and 
extensions.[1]

If you and other owners of your codebase wants to enable PHP74, you can run 
'check experimental' on a patch in gerrit to see if it passes already.

If it does pass, enabling it is pretty trivial (e.g. for Parsoid it worked
immediately[2]) – just file a quite Phabricator task on 
#Continuous-Integration-Config[3] and we'll get it done. If your codebase 
doesn't work in PHP74 yet, drop into #wikimedia-dev or #wikimedia-tech IRC and 
there are a number of us that'd be happy to help.

If you have any questions or concerns, please shout out so I can help get them 
fixed for you.

[Wikitech-l] Google Code-in 2019 has started (and runs until January 23)!

[Andre Klapper]

Google Code-in 2019 just started:
https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Google_Code-in/2019

You might have seen the previous email about it:
https://lists.wikimedia.org/pipermail/wikitech-l/2019-November/092802.html

In the next seven weeks, many young people are going to make their
first contributions to Wikimedia. Expect many questions on IRC and
on mailing lists by newcomers who have never used IRC or lists
before. Your help and patience is welcome to provide a helping hand.

Thanks to all mentors who have already registered & provided tasks.

If you have not become a mentor yet, please consider it:
See https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Google_Code-in/Mentors
and ask if something is unclear.

Thank you again for giving young contributors the opportunity to learn
about and work on all aspects of Free & Open Source Software projects.

Cheers,
andre

[Wikitech-l] TechCom Radar 2019-11-27

[Alexandra Paskulin]

Hi all,

Here are the minutes from last week's TechCom meeting:

* Approved after last call beginning on October 23:  ParallelMaintenance
helper class for
multi-process maintenance scripts .
This RFC
proposes a helper class for maintenance scripts that fork into multiple
processes.

* Last call for comments: Where to implement Desktop Improvements project
. This RFC proposes implementing
broad UI
changes to the desktop interface of Wikimedia projects by modifying the
existing Vector skin.
This RFC will be approved as proposed if no concerns remain unaddressed by
December 11.

* Resumed activity: Partial opt-out method for CSP <
https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T208188>.
Brian Wolff is working on this again, comments welcome.

* Discussion ongoing: Amendments to the Gerrit Privilege policy
. Trying to reach consensus on
granting
+2 rights on unmaintained extensions, comments welcome.

* Discussion ongoing: OpenGraph descriptions in wiki pages
. Discussion revolves around how
this
interacts with the web cache layer. Touches on several cans of worms.

* No public RFC meeting this week.

* No public RFC meeting next week.

You can also find our meeting minutes at

Hello Joel,

I think from your region you can have a look at the AWMD program.
