Hi everyone, I'm pleased to introduce Gilles Dubuc, who is a newly-arrived Senior Software Engineer and serving as Tech Lead for the Multimedia team here at WMF. We searched far and wide to find him, and we're thrilled to finally have him to filling this role.

His previous role was with deviantART, where he was for 4 1/2 years, leading teams responsible for building and maintaining components in dA's image uploading and handling infrastructure. Gilles earned his BA Information Technology Université de la Méditerranée Aix-Marseille II and a degree in Multimedia Systems/Computer Science from Napier University (the latter having a heavy emphasis on visual design and video production. In case you're wondering how he pronounces his first name, Gilles kindly updated Wiktionary for us, now complete with an audio file: https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/Gilles :-) As for his last name, the IPA for it is /dybyk/ which would sound like "dewbook" (roughly). No particular emphasis on either syllable. Gilles will be working remotely from his home in Montpellier, France, though he'll be visiting the office the week of the Architecture Summit (January 21-24). I have to confess that I don't yet know Gilles well enough to know which celebrity image I can misappropriate as his photograph, and haven't yet captured a screencap an awkward moment in Hangouts to post on the staff page, but it's on my to-do list.

Re: [Wikitech-l] Smarter namespace defaults for searches
I like the idea. I wonder a few things: 1. Is this something that only makes sense to do for the help namespace? 2. Would it be good enough to catch "help me" kinds of queries and provide a "did you mean"-like suggestion for a new search that'd actually search help?

Perhaps an even simpler implementation is to simply include a namespace in the search whenever its name (or perhaps one of a short list of plausible equivalents) is included in the search tokens. I agree that someone typing "help tables" in the search box is almost certainly trying to find documentation and not articles. -- Marc ___ Wikitech-l mailing list Wikitech-l@lists.wikimedia.org https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikitech-l
[Wikitech-l] Smarter namespace defaults for searches
I've been a Wikipedia trainer at schools for quite some time now. Probably the single most common mistake people in my workshops make when accessing a Wiki's meta pages (i.e. "Wikipedia:Help") is by omitting the colon indicating the namespace. The default search namespace is just NS-0, i.e. the main namespace. This means if you enter "Wikisource Help" on en.wikisource.org, you get nothing useful: http://en.wikisource.org/w/index.php?search=Wikisource+Help&button=&title=Special%3ASearch English Wikipedia has implemented a workaround by creating redirects from the main namespace to the project namespace: an ugly fix, since it mixes up the distinction between namespaces. Instead, we should make MediaWiki a bit smarter with regard to the namespace selection: When you search for "Help Editing", the Help namespace should be included. This could be done in the most simplest form by checking whether a namespace string is a prefix of the search string (perhaps excluding exotic namespaces such as MediaWiki) or even if the namespace name is contained in the search string.

[Wikitech-l] Welcoming David Chan to Wikimedia Language Engineering team
Hi everyone, Please join me in welcoming David Chan as software engineer in the Language Engineering team. Most you already know David from his awesome work on the Visual Editor (VE) team integrating language support for the VE. We enjoyed working with David so much that he will be now working full time at WMF helping make the Visual Editor multilingual as well as developing internationalization (i18n) and localization (L10n) tools to support 287 languages on Wikimedia sites. David is a self-proclaimed i18n nerd with an interest in languages, both major and lesser-resourced. He has been working in language technology development for more than a decade having developed a English Welsh / Welsh English content translation web service for Bangor University as well as Android applications such as Ap Geiriaduron. He's been an open-source enthusiast and contributor since 1997 and has campaigned for patent reform in the UK. He's excited to be joining WMF and contributing to all things language. David can be reached on email at dchan at wikimedia.org and on our irc channels including #mediawiki, #wikimedia-dev and #mediawiki-i18n. Welcome David! I am excited to have you on the language engineering team!

Before joining us, Shahyar worked as an engineer at DeviantART[2] developing both front-end and back-end software, with a focus on analytics. He was also the lead API engineer at ViaFoura and web developer for a company that works on what the Internet is really for[3]. He’s a long-time Wikipedian (he collaborated on two Good Articles[4]) and will be invaluable in his new role working with the Core Features Team, ensuring that Flow is full of parallax scrolling unicorns. Shahyar lives in Montreal and claims to have come to Canada for the poutine and never left, which pretty much summarizes his life. He is trilingual in English, French, and Persian. When he’s not writing JS, he’s drinking whisky to cope with the fact that he’s not writing JS (preferably Yamazaki 12 year), travelling, and practicing his beatific expression for avatar photos. His first day is today! [5] He’ll be working remotely but will be visiting the office during the architecture summit, so keep an eye on your fries!
