Can we add the projects after Mediawiki gets selected as an GSoC mentoring

 Make sure the projects you want to see becoming a reality are a) listed

[Wikitech-l] Flagged revs and Lua modules

2013-03-18 Thread Bináris
Hi,

I don't know if there is a bugreport on this, forgive me if I duplicate.

Hungarian Wikipedia began to use Scribunto in the first batch, and we also
use Flagged Revisions.
This is a page:
http://hu.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Abe_Sinz%C3%B3action=history
where the editors were all trusted and/or bots, but the page had to be
explicitliy checked. The behaviour is just like when a template is modified
by untrusted user, and we have to check the articles where it is included.
But in this case it is not the template but a module.
All these pages
http://hu.wikipedia.org/wiki/Speci%C3%A1lis:Mi_hivatkozik_erre/Modul:Nyelvtani_modul
have the same problem.
On the other side, the history of the involved module:
http://hu.wikipedia.org/wiki/Modul:Nyelvtani_modul shows that it was only
edited by an admin and should be autochecked (or reviewed or patrollod or
anything because I always mix these words in English but uselang=en shows
checked).

 That's a large extension, which means the review effort would be
 non-trivial (Although just looking at it, I noticed a couple lines
 which look suspicious). Its probably unlikely to be deployed unless
 people _really_ wanted it (due to the amount of review required). If
 it was to be reviewed, the process of reviewing it would probably take
 a long time (So probably out of your time frame).

I understand, thanks everyone for your comments and suggestions. For
now, I will use the XML exporter and make my way from there.

[Wikitech-l] Yuri Astrakhan Adam Baso join Mobile department partner team

2013-03-18 Thread Tomasz Finc
Greetings all,

I'm pleased to announce that the mobile department has two new staff
members. Yuri Astrakhan  Adam Baso join as sr. software developers on
the mobile partner team. In this role Yuri and Adam will support
projects like Wikipedia Zero, SMS/USSD, and J2ME to further the reach
of our projects in geographic areas that have both financial and
technical impediments to access Wikipedia. They will be working
closely with Kul and Dan from the global development group.

Yuri has been heavily involved in Wikipedia-related projects 2005-2007
developing the API framework and querying subsystem, contributing to
pywikibot code, and making millions of changes as yurikbot, while at
the same time working as a software consultant for several large
banks. In 2008 Yuri joined a small hedge-fund to lead the development
of an automated trading platform. While there, Yuri continued various
open source projects such as time-series database (timeseriesdb).

After over five years, Yuri has rejoined the MediaWiki community and
will be working for us from New York.

Adam spent the past seven years working in the field of information
security, specializing in application security, identity management,
and encryption in the retail, government, and banking sectors. Adam
led the OWASP Minneapolis-Saint Paul chapter for a couple of years,
and proudly organized the OWASP AppSec USA 2011 conference. Adam and
his wife are relocating to San Francisco from Minneapolis-Saint Paul,
and they look forward to the opportunity to live in such a thriving
software-friendly community.

The mobile group is excited and proud to welcome both Yuri  Adam as
sr. engineers to the partner team.

This completes the team and allows them to work aggressively to reach
our 4 billion page target through outreach projects like Wikipedia
Zero.

Please join me in welcoming Yuri and Adam to the Wikimedia Foundation!

That is what I first did. Too manual for my tastes :) In this case I only
have to deal with one edit operation (for the commit message), rather than
a s/pick/s/ for rebase -i.

Since a lot of those questions are about operations, you can also look
through wikitech.wikimedia.org, where you can find various policies
documented. You can even download all of our server configs, if you
really want to see how we implement everything. In general, we follow
pretty basic best practices for assigning user rights, patching, etc.

Thomas, thank you for writing to us and mentioning that you're available

since you're interested in Java and have experience with Lucene, please

We have several more job openings (multimedia engineers, director of

Oh, and I noticed that you have some OTRS expertise -- could you maybe

The nice thing about Git is that you can create new
workspaces at little cost -- git clone --reference
$LOCALREPO $GERRITURL $TEMPDIR (or git clone $LOCALREPO
$TEMPDIR if $LOCALREPO is up-to-date) will give you a clean
checkout in $TEMPDIR, where you can then easily run all
kinds of rebases, squashes and whatnot, and when you either
have pushed the resulting commit to Gerrit or aborted be-
cause you ran into some problems, you can just remove the
whole directory.  No need to worry about the state of your
working copy or how you might mess up your branches, stashes
 Co.

Hi!
I cannot check out my own Extension:GoogleMapsFn manual page changes at 
mediawiki.org.
Changes are pending few days already.
Can someone do that?
