[Wikitech-l] Engaging student devs with another outreach event like GSoC, GCI

Hello all, I hit across this idea in the recent GSoC Mentors summit, and in the discussion with Srishti and Sumit on the reducing usability and scope of GSoC/Outreachy projects[1] among the years. *The problem* Students show up one or two weeks before GSoC or Outreachy, and propose a solution to

Re: [Wikitech-l] Need example code in Javascript to login API

Gergo Tisza, Recently, we added more then 2000 books to Tamil WikiSource using Google OCR with OCR4WikiSource https://github.com/tshrinivasan/OCR4wikisource Most of the books have 30-40% spell errors. To fix them, editing the pages manually is not easy. I am thinking of a browser plugin with

Re: [Wikitech-l] Need example code in Javascript to login API

This sounds like a great idea (something akin to PGDP's WordCheck tool ?) But I wonder if implementing it as a Gadget would be easier? That way, the user is already logged in, and can access all the normal APIs etc. The word lists (both good and bad?) could be

Re: [Wikitech-l] Engaging student devs with another outreach event like GSoC, GCI

Hi Tony and all, I would like to add information about another program which matches the Tony's description to a certain extent. It is Season of KDE by KDE [1]. Similar to GSoC and FOSS OPW they add a set of projects but very smaller in scope. The competition is held typically around December to

[Wikitech-l] [MediaWiki-announce] OAuth security update #2

[Wikitech-l] [MediaWiki-announce] Parsoid Security Update and Release

The parsing team has fixed a security bug in Parsoid [1]. * Users could send invalid prefixes, formats, or domains and run javascript code on the error page that Parsoid displayed. * This fix has been applied to the Wikimedia cluster [2] and also merged into Parsoid master [1]. * We have

[Wikitech-l] [MediaWiki-announce] CentralAuth security update

A security bug [1] has been fixed in CentralAuth; the bug caused logouts to silently fail if the local account on the central login wiki was unattached. That does not happen under normal circumstances, so the vulnerability can only be exposed if some other error causes attaching accounts to fail;
