In regards to follow-up on the meeting about code review - That's
partially my bad that there hasn't been any yet. During the meeting I
said that I would pursue exploring the various options discussed, nag
people, start further discussions and try to ensure the ball kept
rolling. However, I haven't had much time recently to actually do any
of that.

(I mean from a social/community perspective only, purely as a
"volunteer" developer. From a WMF planning perspective, that's
somebody else's problem ;) and I have no opinion on what the WMF
should be doing)

I would love for the working group chairs to make the outcomes available
from the main WikiDev16 page:


The meeting notes from most of the meetings are there, but please add
anything you feel is missing, and/or ask the chairs of each of the meetings
to document their next steps.  I have this on my TODO list to continue

Hi Rob,

Code review seems to be a choke point and the subject of numerous concerns,
so I'd like to see SMART goals for improvements to code review, and one or
more individuals (probably WMF individuals) taking leadership for meeting
those goals. Perhaps the conversation at the Summit will inform the
creation of these goals in WMF Q4 and in the WMF 16-17 Annual Plan.

Thanks,
Pine

Why is that better than making both sources nicely formatted? All it
probably takes is flipping a configuration switch to stop mailman from
butchering HTML emails.

Fwiw, a personal +1 to just including the link (and optionally 1 or 2
highlight sentences) in these email updates, which I otherwise
appreciate. :)

That's a topic almost as contentious as top/bottom posting! "Nicely"
is subjective!! ;-)

Yes, it is just a toggle, but as the FAQ[1] says:
> Q. My users hate HTML in their email and for security reasons, I want to 
> strip out all MIME attachments. How can I do this?

[1] http://www.gnu.org/software/mailman/faq.html

A personal -1 to allowing HTML formatting on this list in general - I
don't want to see twitter logos, custom typefaces/colors, or [[mystery
meat navigation]] links, and all the other woes of HTML email - there
isn't a way to override this in gmail directly, so I appreciate that
some of our mailing lists auto-convert HTML->plaintext. If this
sub-issue gets forked into a separate thread to propose a change, I
can supply a litany of links as to why HTML emails are still bad
netiquette and are frustrating for many users (especially on a
technical mailing list, where some users use a CLI to read). But
hopefully that's enough info to conclude this sub-issue. :-)

The wiki view is vastly better than the email body. My perception is that
this summary is not "What developer relations has been doing", but rather
"if you're a developer here's stuff that might interest you". With that
filter, it made much more sense.

Re: [Wikitech-l] Developer Relations Weekly Summary

2015-12-04 Thread Oliver Keyes 
Well, when the message doesn't adapt to the medium, it's of limited
utility to argue the problem is the medium. You can argue as long as
you want, just don't expect it to change ;)

It seems like an easy resolution to this would be to just point people
at the wiki. So instead of sending variously-formatted emails that
contain the whole thing, just  "Hey, we've released a new report! It's
on the wiki at [URL] and contains, amongst other things, [2-3 really
cool/interesting things]. Hope you enjoy!"

That way people can get the information from the nicely-formatted
source without simultaneously being lured by a not-as-nicely formatted
source.

Some of this is pretty contextless". This looks pretty much the same.

Based on this, a new section "Developer Relations focus" has been
added. Each point of that section tries to provide in a sentence
enough information for the reader to decide whether you want to click
the link or not. Could you point to the contextless examples, please?
This will help fine tuning the wording next time.

I think the value of this newsletter is precisely to compile several
links to current activities that otherwise are spread through
different sources. I understand most people are not interested in all
the links, but different people will be interested in different links
to different degrees. Text formating, an amazing invention, makes
selective reading easier in the web version, which is only one click

I agree with this. The weekly update email, as currently structured, is
pretty much unreadable for me. A short summary would work better for me.

You can click the first link and read the wiki version, where all the links
are not formatted in a broken way and section titles actually stand out.
That version of the report is pretty nice IMO. (I wouldn't mind if the

That "Wikimedia UI" thing looks good! Except it seems to require
third-party javascript (myfontastic?), which is not allowed on Tools Labs,
IIRC.
And it wants to run Flash. Why???

Re: [Wikitech-l] Developer Relations Weekly Summary

2015-10-22 Thread Pine W 
Hi Quim,

I'm glad to see the tasks about 3D files in there. Open license 3D files
were a need mentioned at WCONUSA for GLAMs.

There has been a lot of discussion recently about the Education Exension's
problems. Any chance of getting Developer Relations resources in making
that code at least secure and maintainable enough to keep it deployed on
its current wikis in the short term and in order to buy some time for
development of long term solutions?

I want to express moral support for anything related to improving the code
review experience, which seems to be a pinch point in multiple workflows
and I hear is a subject of frequent concern. I would support finding
additional budget resources (preferably through internal transfer rather
than new expenditure) to address this problem if analysis shows that
transferring or adding some resources (maybe 0.5 FTE?) would make a
meaningful difference.

Can you provide a brief update on how the deployment is going of the
Newsletter extension?

Thanks!
Pine

I can't speak for Quim, but normally I'd expect that to be pretty far
outside what developer relations does.
Based on recent commits, community-tech seems to be the current dumping
ground for please-fix-other-people's-messes type bugs (Although that might
just be coincidental. I doubt that has anything with what the team wants to
do so much as there is overlap between what they want to do and other
people's messes).

Wikimedia plans to migrate code review from Gerrit to Phabricator's
Differential - see https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T114311

There is also a task about reducing code review queues + waiting times
which welcomes input: https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T101686

https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T110170 is the corresponding task, as
far as I know the tasks listed under "Blocked By" are up-to-date.
