There are to very small / personal projects, idea, new softwares and general thoughts. > http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Events/FOSDEM/2013_-_DevRoom_-_Qgil A lot better. The FOSDEM is also populated by people (including CS or IT students) to get involved in a project (outreach effort). They go to dev rooms to assist to the talks who attract them (virtually only projects contributors attend only once devroom, other visitors go from one to another). > If someone else is thinking about submitting a MediaWiki related > proposal please share your plans in the wiki page. We have one full day of talks to give. When you send the proposal, as we're very short for delays please already include the information asked by FOSDEM team: * Your name * The title of your talk (please be descriptive, as titles will be listed with ~250 from other projects) * A short abstract of one to two paragraphs * A short biography introducing yourself * Links to related websites/blogs etc. Ideal duration: 1h -- Best Regards, Sébastien Santoro aka Dereckson http://www.dereckson.be/ ___ Wikitech-l mailing list Wikitech-l@lists.wikimedia.org https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikitech-l

The *e-mail address* exists, but that's irrelevant. Mails to this list are sent through the global configuration setting "globalwatchers" – not through the fact that it may or may not be on CC of a bug. At least that's how it is supposed to work, and should work again if not. This global configuration setting is afaik a core feature, what exactly does this "hack" entail?

Because if someone wants those mails, they can simply subscribe to the list. And moreover, subscribing to the list is semantically more correct since then you receive all activity though the globalwatchers setting, as opposed to only the activity on bugs the "Nobody" account is CCed on (which is often removed from bugs when someone assigns a bug or otherwise ends up removing it for some reason). -- Krinkle ___ Wikitech-l mailing list Wikitech-l@lists.wikimedia.org https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikitech-l

Re: [Wikitech-l] Alpha version of the VisualEditor now available on the English Wikipedia
Hi Gabriel, thank you for that information. Actually I already knew of the project. Therefore I could imagine a process as I described. This IMHO doesn't need much i18n, because there is an defined syntax for wt and for html.

The result of the serialization can be compared with the original markup. we (the Parsoid team) have been doing many of the things you describe in the last year: Ah, that was the project's name. ;-) * We wrote a new bidirectional parser / serializer - see http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Parsoid. This includes a grammar-based tokenizer, async/parallel token stream transformations and HTML5 DOM building. Thank you for pointing to that. Will also be interested for one of my private project. * We developed a HTML5 / RDFa document model spec at http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Parsoid/MediaWiki_DOM_spec. * Our parserTests runner tests wt2html (wikitext to html), wt2wt, html2html and html2wt modes with the same wikitext / HTML pairs as used in the PHP parser tests. We have roughly doubled the number of such pairs in the process. * Automated and distributed round-trip tests are currently run over a random selection of 100k English Wikipedia pages: http://parsoid.wmflabs.org:8001/. This test infrastructure can easily be pointed at a different set of pages or another wiki. Once the top results in English are reached it should not be a big deal testing it on other wikis. Parsoid is by no means complete, but we are very happy with how far we already got since last October. Congratulation for that results so far.

[Wikitech-l] Proposal for India's First MediaWiki Group Ahmedabad
Dear friends, This is to inform you all about the creation of the first MediaWiki group in India. For the past several days, I’ve been speaking to Quim Gil, Sumana and Yuvi Panda. I was informed about the setting up of local groups in different countries for technical contributors. With encouragement from all of them and with help from Noopur I submitted a proposal for the formation of MediaWiki Group Ahmedabad. This proposal has been endorsed by 7 people so far. For those who might be interested in setting up similar groups, I think a Wikitech mailing list for India is being set up and personally, I would be happy to help you write a proposal for your community. I think it’s a great idea because with the help of this technical group we intend to make good technical infrastructure and editing environment for Gujarati Wikipedia easier to contribute to. I have already ported HotCat and Popups(on the way) on Gujarati Wikipedia. Please have a look at the areas we want to collaborate on: Areas of collaboration: Localize Gadgets for Gujarati Wikipedia and Wikisource Create New Gadgets and extensions Bug solving for Gujarati Wikipedia and WikiSource and also other MediaWiki related Bug solving for all Indian languages Translate into Gujarati Language, i.e http://translatewiki.net/ Wikidata You can read the proposal here: https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Groups/Proposals/Ahmedabad Your endorsements, improvements and feedback are welcome at the wiki page. Thank you! Harsh Kothari PS: see also http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Groups/Proposals --- Harsh Kothari Research Fellow, Physical Research Laboratory(PRL).

[Wikitech-l] "Navigation menu" title showing in side bar
Hello,
Only in vector skin, many Wikipedias are now displaying "Navigation Menu"
(different languages) at the end of the side bar after content ends.
First noticed that in Arabic Wikipedia and got it fixed by adding
#mw-navigation h2 { position: absolute; top: -px; }
to mediawiki:vector.css which I got by examining the pages which didn't
have this bug including my watchlist and mediawiki messages (but
not including its history)
The problem doesn't exist in some other Wikipedias, including English
and Spanish.
Any idea how did that happen and what can we do to make a global fix?
