As you say, we need to have more data before we can promise anything,
"some bandwidth" isn't enough.

As a general comment though, delivering a small amount of files such as
webfonts is a trivial task and we can easily scale the infrastructure to
handle *a lot* of additional traffic. It costs, though, both in
bandwidth (a dollar amount per mbps) and in upgrades that might be
necessary in network ports or hardware upgrades (loadbalancers, routers,
servers).

I think at this point it's more useful to focus the discussion on the
usefulness of webfonts, especially in combination with the performance
impact that they have on clients (a problem that we can't throw money
at). If the outcome is that the feature enhances the overall user
experience, we'll handle the infrastructure part.

Regards,
Faidon

I think you're mostly right, though the exact terms of the trade-offs
aren't clear here (e.g., "some bandwidth"). We'll need more explicit
measurements in order to reach full agreement on what user benefit vs.
site performance trade-offs Wikimedia is willing to accept.

It's also necessary to hear from the Wikimedia operations team. In
addition to end-users weighing the importance of a feature against its
cost, the operations team must also make practical considerations. Some
Wikimedia wikis get some substantial traffic. ;-)

[Wikitech-l] URGENT call for geographical diversity in Wikimedia @ GSoC

[Quim Gil]

Please forward this email wisely. Yes, we need your help getting the word
out.

So far, all our GSoC candidates come from only two (neighbor) countries:
India and Sri Lanka. While we are very happy seeing how popular Wikimedia
is among technical students in the Indian subcontinent, we are concerned
about the lack of candidates from anywhere else.

https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Google_Summer_of_Code_2014#Candidates

GSoC 2013 had accepted students from 69 countries [1], and we have
participants from eight.[2] We can discuss about the deep causes of this
situation but... Considering that we have less than 9 days before the GSoC
deadline for students (March 21 @ 19:00 UTC) we should focus on finding new
candidates.

There is still time to become a strong GSoC candidate for Wikimedia. Many
project ideas in our GSoC page (linked above) have mentors available and no
candidates yet. Go for them! Also, since our evaluation of candidates is
based on their proposals published in mediawiki.org, Google's deadline is
not a hard stop to keep improving your plans together with your mentors.
April 7 is when we need to decide how many slots we will request, meaning
how many teams (candidates and mentors with a common plan) we believe that
can complete GSoC 2014 successfully. That date is more than three weeks
from now.

Diversity is an important factor for Wikimedia. We are putting a lot of
effort promoting gender diversity in our outreach programs, and we are
seeing good progress. It would be surprising to realize that a global
project like Wikimedia has a serious problem with geographical diversity.
Your ideas and actions to fix this situation are welcome.

[1] https://code.google.com/p/google-summer-of-code/wiki/ProgramStatistics
[2] https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Summer_of_Code_2013

PS: in comparison, FOSS OPW is doing a lot better, with five candidates
from four countries
https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/FOSS_Outreach_Program_for_Women/Round_8#Candidates--
coincidence?

Hi.

@wikitech-l:
Could a core developer with a database background please have a look
at Pawan's patches:
* https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/#/c/110503/
* https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/#/c/110949/

I tried reviewing them, but I really don't know much about the MW
database structure.


@Semediawiki-user:
Including the SMW user list as this project concerns SMW/SF. Please
feel free to comment on the proposal as suggested by Pawan.

Cheers,
Stephan

[Wikitech-l] Application: [GSoC 2013] Parsoid-based online-detection of broken wikitext

[hardik juneja]

Hi Everyone!

I plan to propose a GSOC project through Wikimedia this year, based around
the idea of Parsoid-based online-detection of broken wikitex
 t. The original idea of the project is defined here [1], Which is to
develop a tool that will use parsoid to fix broken wikitext found while
parsing wiki pages and then develop a user interface for editors to fix
broken wikitext. But after few discussions on the project with the parsoid
team, We found out that we already have tool [2] which has a decent UI and
which performs same functions. But it lacks the fixup information that
parsoid generates while parsing wiki pages. So through my GSOC project we
plan to integrate this information with the tool.

After having discussions with parsoid devs, I have written an application
draft under my username [3].
I would be really thankful, if I get some feedback.

[Wikitech-l] Webfonts

[Niklas Laxström]

There have recently been questions whether WMF is able to serve
webfonts. Some people think that because of the issues that led to
disabling webfonts by default in Universal Language Selector (ULS),
WMF is not ready to consider webfonts for typography.

I don't think that way. ULS is not a good comparison point because of
the following.

1) Universal Language selector is trying to solve a much harder issue
than what webfonts are usually used for. It is trying to avoid tofu
(missing fonts) which brings a whole list of issues which are not
present or are much smaller otherwise:
* large fonts for complex scripts,
* detecting which fonts are missing,
* many fonts per page,
* the systems with greatest need of fonts often have bad renderers.

2) WMF has a lot of experience working with web fonts by now. We know
how to handle different formats, how to optimally compress fonts and
how to check the results in different systems and browsers. In some
areas we are even ahead of Google, like non-latin fonts.

Thus, I think that delivering a relative small fonts for simple
scripts like latin and cyrillic is something that is possible *if* we
are willing to accept that it will take some bandwidth and that page
load experience can be affected* if the font is not cached or present
locally.

  -Niklas

* The unwanted effects of using webfonts are getting smaller and
smaller with modern browsers.

[Wikitech-l] Instances of project bots are going to be deleted

[Petr Bena]

Hi,

We sent tons of warnings in past that you should migrate all bots or
tools (should you run any) from bots project on wikimedia labs to
tools project.

The servers are now going to be deleted within few days, so this is
last notification I am going to send regarding this.

So far I have revoked access from basically everyone except project
admins so I believe that it is "safe to delete" the instances as
nobody complained that they lost the access.

Let me know if you have any questions :)

I'm certainly no fan of gerrit, and I hope gerrit-patch-uploader that
Sumana mentioned helps you.  But if not, the error you're having above
sounds like you are doing "git review -s" outside your repository's
directory.  So you might try:

git clone repository-address folder-to-clone-into
cd folder-to-clone-into
git review -s

Re: [Wikitech-l] About the bug 46453 - Uzbek: Change date and decimal separators

[Sumana Harihareswara]

Let me apologize right now on Gerrit's behalf and on behalf of git-review.
They are finicky tools and annoying to set up. Right now, I suggest you
instead use this lovely little web app

https://tools.wmflabs.org/gerrit-patch-uploader/

that will upload the patch into Gerrit on your behalf.

I am mainly interested in:

1) separating out code in Linker that seems unrelated (formatting comments)

2) moving away from static methods there and have some sort of service that
does stuff

3) update it and adjust, as needed to work with TitleValue (suppose I do
once TitleValue is merged)

Cheers,
Katie

Re: [Wikitech-l] About the bug 46453 - Uzbek: Change date and decimal separators

[Maduranga Siriwardena]

Hi,
I'm having some trouble when trying to upload the fix to gerrit. I followed
the instructions in [1]. But I get the bellow error when trying to run
git review -s

Error.

Problems encountered installing commit-msg hook
The following command failed with exit code 1
"scp  gerrit.wikimedia.org:hooks/commit-msg .git/hooks/commit-msg"
---
.git/hooks/commit-msg: No such file or directory
