Thanks, yes that's the same problem, and they have some potential
workarounds there.

[Wikitech-l] Jenkins doing code-review?

[Denny Vrandečić]

I am mildly surprised by Jenkins giving a +1 Code Review (not Verification)
here.



Just wondering if there is maybe a setup issue.

Cheers,
Denny

Note that was on December 17. I don't remember the exact dates, but
for a short time during the transition from "Jenkins runs unit tests
on every submission" to "Jenkins runs only lint tests for submissions
from untrusted people" it was configured to give CR+1 for linting and
V+1 for unit tests.

Re: [Wikitech-l] January Public Bug Day - Topics

[Quim Gil]

Andre and me learned yesterday from Sumana that bug days were held 
previously on a weekly basis. This might complicate things, although 
maybe actually not. A possibility:


1. Pick a day e.g. "Thursday is Bug Day!"

2. Find a small task / area in Bugzilla e.g. "Let's clean MediaWiki 
Extensions >> Drafts"

https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/buglist.cgi?list_id=172051&resolution=---&resolution=LATER&query_format=advanced&component=Drafts&product=MediaWiki%20extensions

3. Take a chat room less noisy than #mediawiki, or create one just for 
the occasion.


4. Define a list of nicknames you, Andre, etc (and their availability 
that day. Define also 4 hours of higher intensity where all of you will 
be there and focusing on the Bug Day activity.


5. Announce the day before to wikitech-l, mediawiki-l and optionally to 
any other relevant list.


6. Keep all this up to date at 
https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Bug_management/Meeting_preparations or 
the alternative page of your choice.


It feels like more work, but then again choosing smaller topics is 
easier and if a week goes meh then it's not a big deal.

[Wikitech-l] Plans for GNUnify 2013?

[Yuvi Panda]

GNUnify[1] is a popular FOSS conference that happens in India every year.
Last year WMF had a pretty heavy presence at GNUnify. This year's CFP just
opened up. Are there existing plans for the WMF to participate?

[Wikitech-l] Developers: what are you working on? (or Improving the release notes for 1.21)

[Mark A. Hershberger]

We're still a few months from a release of 1.21, but I'd like to start
thinking about what we can tell the users of MediaWiki about it.

In that vein, what changes or features have you been working on?  I'll
spend some time looking over the commit messages, but often those don't
give the sort of "big picture" that end users of MW could benefit from.

If you would rather update https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/MediaWiki_1.21
yourself, feel free.  Otherwise, I'll try to update that page with user
visible changes and improvements that third party users of MW could
benefit from.

In a side note: I'm not very good with visual presentation.  If anyone
wants to take on that bit of the release notes, watch the page and chime
in where you think you can help.

Mark.

GNUnify is like flagship event for MediaWiki and Wikipedia both, every year
technical and non technical tracks are held in parallel.

It would be great to have Alolita, Santhosh, Niklas, Amir and Siebrand back
in Pune.

We might also plan something for non developers. Let me know if you guys
need any local help here in Pune. I am CC ing this to Sudhanwa as well.

Looking forward to meet you guys again.

Re: [Wikitech-l] Developers: what are you working on? (or Improving the release notes for 1.21)

[Tyler Romeo]

Well, the account creation API is still pending. If I'm lucky it'll be
merged by the 1.21 release. :P I also have a change pending that redoes the
password recovery system so that it uses tokens rather than temporary
passwords.

Other than that, I'm still working on a centralized
authentication/authorization system, but I don't think it'll be ready for
this release (hopefully it can get in the next release alongside the
password hashing rewrite).

I think what we're mostly missing is a quick list of easy things to do or
fix as a call to action.


Can we define ONE task a good sysadmin could take here and now?

You have one presentation next week at the Wikipedia Engineering Meetup

http://www.meetup.com/Wikipedia-Engineering-Meetup/events/89239012/

I have another one in few weeks at FOSDEM:

https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Events/FOSDEM/2013_-_Lightning_-_Qgil#Inject_your_sysadmin_skills_to_Wikipedia

I believe both will be recorded. It's a good excuse to find a little 
fishhook while the bigger net gets ready.


Feasible? Otherwise I will forget about the topic until next month.  :)

https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Bug_management/Meeting_preparations does
hold nearly all these best practices -- and if anything's missing, yes,
please add it.  Looking forward to more bug triage events (and, very
importantly, FOLLOWUP on those triages, especially where individuals
said "sure, I'll fix that").

Do you have the relevant changes tagged in Gerrit so that I can link to
them?

I'm on the Editor Engagement Experiments team, which mostly works on
extensions.  However, I am proposing and working on changes for core
where it makes sense.  One particular core change I have pending is
extending mediawiki.jqueryMsg to support wikilinks and the int: magic word.

https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/#/c/41808/

There are also a few other smaller ones, and bugs that are just in the
idea stage.

Not sure what you mean by tagged, but here's the change:

[Wikitech-l] Fwd: Announcing Patrick Reilly as Site Performance Engineer and Senior Technical Advisor

[Erik Moeller]

FYI :)


-- Forwarded message --
From: Erik Moeller 
Date: Wed, Jan 9, 2013 at 4:43 PM
Subject: Announcing Patrick Reilly as Site Performance Engineer and
Senior Technical Advisor
To: Staff All 


Hi folks,

it's my pleasure to announce the promotion of Patrick Reilly to the
role of Site Performance Engineer and Senior Technical Advisor.

It's been planned for a long time for Patrick to focus on site
performance as his next step after his role on the mobile team. On the
mobile team, he was responsible for building out the initial
MobileFrontend extension, and has been the team's tech lead
since then, succeeded in this role by Brion Vibber.

I've decided to also designate Patrick as Senior Technical Advisor.
Patrick has been invaluable in the last few weeks in supporting hiring
processes, cross-team coordination, and technical evaluations. I
will continue to rely on Patrick's expertise and network to support
technical coordination across the department. This is one of the near
term improvements to increase my bandwidth and capacity as well.

Patrick will report to me. For performance and architecture projects,
he'll work directly with engineers working in those areas (Tim, Asher,
Aaron, Ori, etc.). I've posted the job description for this role here for
reference:

https://wikimediafoundation.org/wiki/Job_openings/Site_Performance_Engineer_and_Senior_Technical_Advisor

Please join me in congratulating Patrick.

All best,
Erik

Sorry.  I meant "do you have a topic set for these changes" but I used
the more convention "tagged" instead of gerrit-speak "topic".

Thank you!

Thanks! I've added this and Tyler Romeo's changes to the 1.21 page.

I think I understand Tyler's changes better as an end user than I
understand why Javascript developers would be interested in your
changes, but that is probably because I've only just begun to work with
MediaWiki's JavaScript.

Do you have a couple of sentences that would help me and other
developers understand this better?  Or, if your job was to advertise
this, how would you promote it?

[Wikitech-l] What's our Bus Factor?

[Jay Ashworth]

It's the new year, and in light of the recent poll about which devs are 
working on what, let me make another, albeit vaguely macabre, suggestion:

If you're a developer, or other staffer, can the people around you pick
up the pieces if you get hit by a bus?  How badly will it impact delivery
and delivery scheduling of what you're working on?

Is the institutional knowledge about our architecture and plans sufficiently
well documented and spread out that we don't have anyone with an unreasonably
high bus factor?

Cheers,

This is a good reminder of yet another reason to document things.

However, high bus factor is good.  As Wikipedia states, "The bus factor
is the total number of key developers who would need to be incapacitated
(as by getting hit by a bus/truck) to send the project into such
disarray that it would not be able to proceed".

The higher this is, the less likely the project actually would be
derailed for such a reason.

Tired of all your MediaWiki i18n messages showing on the JavaScript side
as wikitext?  Parse them with jqueryMsg, now with wikilinks and int:
transclusion support!
