Ich bin ein Berliner! :) I'm definitely thrilled to see this coming together; should be able to bring some folks out from SF for the awesomeness. Mark, Tomasz and I will also be at FOSDEM in February (we don't have a developer room, but there'll still be plenty of MediaWikians!), and we'll be trying to put together an awesome Hacking Days at Wikimania in Buenos Aires... We're also hoping to run some local events in San Francisco over the coming year, which I hope to be able to announce as we firm up plans. -- brion ___ Wikitech-l mailing list Wikitech-l@lists.wikimedia.org https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikitech-l
[Wikitech-l] localize transcluded image description pages
At the moment image description pages on our projects that are transcluded from Commons will be shown in English. That was no problem for the last four years cause the pages basically all were in English. But with the autotranslate template on Commons now many templates can be shown in any language. It would be very useful, if the transcluded pages on the local projects would be shown in the content language or user language too. If I am not mistaken, its the function "getDescriptionRenderUrl" in "FileRepo.php" that gets the image description page from Commons. We should add "'uselang='. $wgLang->getCode()" as an additional parameter, so the page is rendered in the right language. (I don't know the code well and had only a brief look into the file, perhaps some additional changes are needed. The developers will know best.) Can this be done?

Would just need to tweak the cache key to include the specified language as well. -Chad ___ Wikitech-l mailing list Wikitech-l@lists.wikimedia.org https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikitech-l

It's hard to coordinate the meetup of people living around the world (both logistically and financially), so finding a way to bring the whole developer community together would be even better. I've mentioned this to a few people before, but the guys over at the Wikipedia Weekly podcast have talked to me several times about trying to coordinate a "Developer's Podcast" if you will. A chance for us to chat, answer questions, that sort of thing. I couldn't think of a better time to do one than during FOSDEM, Wikimania and/or a meetup in San Francisco. -Chad ___ Wikitech-l mailing list Wikitech-l@lists.wikimedia.org https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikitech-l
