= 2016-05-04 = == Technology == === Release Engineering === For all: * T128190 - Migration of browsertests* Jenkins jobs to selenium* jobs ** The migration of browsertests* to selenium* is almost complete, however, Željko needs people to claim their failing browser tests. See the task for more information. *** The task has a table, but it's not clear what you want people to do (are you just asking about the rows with missing "contact from browsertests.yaml" fields)? For operations: * T126594 - Disable HHVM fcgi server on CI slaves * Need help from ops to review and merge these two patches (we dont need HHVM running as a daemon on CI boxes): ** https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/#/c/269946/ ** https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/#/c/269947/ * https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T133911 - Bump quota of Nodepool instances (contintcloud tenant) ** More instances needed. Clarified with Chase last week: pending Andrew. No urgency. * Two related tasks, each have patches that are needed to streamline the scap3 migration: ** T133211 - Automate the generation deployment keys (keyholder-managed ssh keys) *** https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/#/c/284418/ ** T132747 - scap::target shouldn't allow users to redefine the user's key *** https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/#/c/285519/ === Security === * Reviews: ** json-schema done, AuthManger done (no more comments, a few minor things before all patches are +1'ed) ** Starting on T129584 this week * Starting work on AuthService next week (heads up to Services, we'll probably be scheduling a few meetings with you) (Marko: ack && yay!) * Ops: ping again on T128819 === Services === (Marko cannot attend today, sorry) * RESTBase ** working on storing all auth checks locally (now we are calling the MW API every time) * EventBus / Change propagation ** started using it in production for the summary endpoint today ** more dependency updates to follow soon * Cassandra move to 2.2.6 soon ** first up: maps cluster * use Scap3 - https://lists.wikimedia.org/pipermail/wikitech-l/2016-April/085299.html === Technical Operations * '''Blocking''': ** none * '''Blocked''': ** none * '''Updates''': ** May 15 (Chrome SPDY removal deadline). Getting HTTP/2 working fully deployed till then ** started using letsencrypt for various small services == Product == === Reading === * Most of Reading engineering is at an offsite today, I believe. ==== Reading Infrastructure ==== * AuthManager core patches are just waiting for security +1s. Work is ongoing on extensions; CentralAuth, LdapAuthentication, ConfirmEdit could use reviews if anyone is interested. === Editing === ==== Collaboration ==== * '''Blocking''': ** External store work. External Store deployed everywhere on Beta with no complications. Work on this continues. We now need to set up a second External Store on Beta for Flow, to test the migration. * '''Blocked''': ** Work on Flow dumps continuing on the ops side. https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T119511 and https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T89398 . * '''Updates''': ** Continuing notification work on: *** Cross-wiki notifications coming by default on May 12th! *** Echo email formatter *** Work continues on the new Echo MVC architecture ==== Parsing ==== * We got our first visual diff test run comparing Tidy with HTML5depurate. Results @ http://mw-expt-tests.wmflabs.org/ ... Making notes @ https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Parsing/Replacing_Tidy ... We will use this as the basis for figuring out what things might break if we replace Tidy today and what needs fixing and where. * Scott has been working with Ops to get OCG kinks ironed out. ==== Language ==== * '''Blocking''': ** Apertium->Jessie. Yet to finalize plan and proceed. * '''Blocked''': * '''Updates''': ** cxserver service will be migrated to scap3 deployment soon. ** Translate (twn, meta,..) now using Apertium MT from cxserver. == Discovery == * '''Blocking''': none * '''Blocked''': none * Preparing for ElasticSearch 2.0 migration * Results for A/B test on portal language link location published: https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Wikipedia_Portal_Test_of_Language_Detection_and_Primary_Link_Resorting.pdf * TextCat A/B test launching soon * Portal A/B test adding descriptions to project links to start this week * WDQS redeployed, some performance issues * Graphs have ability to use WDQS directly now * Team offsite in 2 weeks (17-21) ==Analytics == *Scaling of pageview API , more work than anticipated *Working new domain analytics.wikimedia.org, wikistats 2.0 migration, meeting with research to map early states of project *Still trouble with jenkins * == Fundraising Tech == * coding new PayPal integration * pulling in lots of CiviCRM upstream changes * making CentralNotice fail gracefully in odd cache edge cases * Casey hanging out with reading offsite * more work towards replacing ActiveMQ _______________________________________________ Wikitech-l mailing list [email protected] https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikitech-l
