Re: [WikimediaMobile] Removing upload interface code from MobileFrontend
I think killing our uploading interface is a probably a good idea (assuming maintaining it isn't going to be a priority any time soon). However, I think that if we kill it, we should at least clean up Special:Upload so that it works OK in Minerva (shouldn't take much work). This will give 3rd party users a minimal uploading interface if they want it and also better position us for Minerva on desktop. Once it is working adequately, we could just have a feature flag to add a link to it from the hamburger menu (similar to the prior link to Special:Uploads).

Re: [WikimediaMobile] Gather sprint Help! kicked off
Thanks, Jon! For those of you who are wondering, the name of our sprint: "Help!" is a reference to the Beatles' album from 1965 (featuring such classic hits as "Help!", "Ticket to Ride" and "Yesterday"). It is definitely not a desperate plea from the ghost of a long forgotten phabricator task or the mad engineer Jon R may or may not have locked in his attic.

[WikimediaMobile] Gather sprint Help! kicked off
Members of the readership team who are working on the Gather extension kicked off sprint "Help!" [1] today after completing sprint "Greatest hits" [2] with 17 story points out of the 30 we committed to. We had a few disruptions, e.g. a reorg just happened :-)!, so we're not too concerned about not meeting our target. Sprint Greatest hits mostly saw us polishing existing features, discussing some architecture changes and improving our infrastructure. Tangibly it resulted in seeing our beta opt ins increase jump from 2K to 40K a day [3] but we experienced a few hiccups! We are also now showing a create collection button at the bottom of the collections page. This sprint we've committed to 26 story points, a little less than the normal 30, mostly in anticipation of disruption due to the Lyon hackathon. We'll be exploring an auto-moderation system, more infrastructure changes, and improving our onboarding workflow to try and minimise the amount of 1 item collections we are seeing.

[WikimediaMobile] Knowledge Transfer on MaxSem's API / Extension Work to Reading
Hi all - Max Semenik, now on Search & Discovery (he's been working on geo stuff for a while), spoke with me earlier today about transferring Reading-oriented extension components / API endpoints off his plate. I'll add the bullet points to the Etherpad for the recurring APIs/Services meeting instance tomorrow. * API action=mobileview : the apps are heavy users of this endpoint. * pageimages extension: Max noted that the algorithm needs improvement for targeting the "best" image. * featuredfeeds extension (RSS/Atom) * TextExtracts is still an open question. Max said he can maintain it in maintenance mode, if necessary. But if there's interest in Reading taking over future work on this, that would be even better. Max noted the persistence of the results is an area for improvement. Incidentally, some people have been communicating about this stuff today. Thanks. -Adam ___ Mobile-l mailing list Mobile-l@lists.wikimedia.org https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/mobile-l
Re: [WikimediaMobile] Hackathon: mobile apps meeting needs?
Hello Antoine, I would like it if you could set up a Jenkins job for Android according to https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T88494. No Gradle or Android SDK setup is needed! See my comments at the end of this Phab ticket. The Gradle command line is already included in our Git repo. The Android SDK is automatically set up through the awesome SDK Manager Gradle plugin. So, there's really not much to do except to clone and fetch the latest from our Git repo[1], and to run the following commands from command line: # checkstyle ./gradlew checkstyle # build apk ./gradlew -q clean assembleAlphaDebug It's really very simple. The only prerequisite is a Java 7 SDK (e.g. openjdk-7-jdk) and a few extra libraries (e.g. sudo apt-get update sudo apt-get install gcc-multilib lib32z1 lib32stdc++6). I just ran this on a plain Ubuntu system with nothing pre-installed other than JDK 7. This means that the first time it'll take more time to download everything needed. But for subsequent runs it should be already there, ready to go if you get to have the same Jenkins slaves run the Android builds. Once you've got these build steps running for both pre-merge and post-merge builds, then I consider the above Phab ticket closeable, and then we can talk more about further improvements, to include running tests.

Re: [WikimediaMobile] Removing upload interface code from MobileFrontend
Is there any precedent for an "un-maintained (legacy) extension"? If so, we could move it to an extension so it's still enableable by 3rd parties but strongly express that it will not be maintained and any bugs would not be triaged (with an explanation that the editing team is working on a newer version, of course).

[WikimediaMobile] Removing upload interface code from MobileFrontend
A while back we disabled the mobile uploads interface in mobile. It's been sitting in our codebase dormant so people can enable it via user js if necessary but it's broken a few times and doesn't seem to be getting the attention it needs. Given there is now an editing team and from what I understand UploadWizard is being refactored into oojs ui (which will lead to it being less bulky and more mobile friendly) I'd like to suggest we abandon the code in MobileFrontend and help support that effort. Note this effort is likely to take a long long time, since that extension suffers from much technical debt and makes use of jquery ui, which is not available on mobile, so to set expectations we're not going to be in a state where we can enable this on mobile (if we wanted to which again is highly questionable) any time soon (think in units of a year rather than weeks/months). The downside of this is any 3rd parties who are using this uploads code (it's turned on by default) will lose this feature and there is no available alternative. I've written a patch to remove it [1] but I just wanted to post this here to give people the chance to voice any concerns/disagree with this approach. Note: We can always restore the code later on if necessary. I argue this will be easier than fixing/maintaining the existing code. Someone could also put it into a separate extension if they wanted to use it.
