Next Monday we will start calculating the number of slots we want to request to Google, and we will only consider projects with two mentors, or with one mentor and a good reason for an exception. I have been poking a few candidates and a few potential mentors, but I'm not insisting. As explained in our selection process, we are evaluating teams, not just candidates. Some teams have done their homework already, not just in terms of mentors, and this tells something about their potential. > * 18 OPW proposals from 18 candidates, one of them a GSoC candidate as well > Next Monday we will also start calculating the number of OPW slots we aim for. The confirmation of mentors for OPW proposals is all in all clear, the remark is that there are no remarks. There are many projects that have received several proposals.

[Wikitech-l] GSoC 2014 - Wikidata Automation Tool

I hope this project is considered useful by the community. So kindly, take a look at proposal and provide any valuable comments you can.

[Wikitech-l] Labs project migration *Important, deadlines approaching*
We've had a few hiccups, but project migration is going reasonably well. You can check on the current migration status of a project here: https://wikitech.wikimedia.org/wiki/Labs_Eqiad_Migration/Progress About 20 or so projects are still in the 'pending' section up top. If your project is among them, please finish up and file your project entry in the appropriate section (presumably, 'Finished migration'). I don't have any open migration bugs in bugzilla, so if you are waiting for me to help with something, I don't know about it. Please contact me immediately if you still need migration help from me. Friday Deadline On Friday I'll be shutting down all pmtpa instances. They won't be immediately deleted, but they will become inaccessible, and wikitech will no longer display an interface for pmtpa. DNS for the old bastions (e.g. bastion.wikimedia.org) will be changed to point to bastions in eqiad. Shared Storage copies from pmtpa I've copied the shared data from /home and /data/project in every project to eqiad. Copies of this data can be found filed away in each project's new shared directories. If you browse to /data/project or /home in your new eqiad instance you will see two directories, "glustercopy" and "pmtpa_nfs_copy". These dirs contain backups of the shared gluster and nfs data from pmtpa. Note, however, that these copies were made at unpredictable times during the last couple of weeks. If you require a live, up-to-date copy of your data, please file a bug so that I know to re-sync the data after pmtpa instances are fully shut off. Next steps, coming weeks After pmtpa instances are shut down, I'll wait a few days for the dust to settle and to listen for surprised shouts of alarm from folks who haven't been following this list. I will also migrate wikitech from virt0 (the pmtpa web host) to virt1000 (the equivalent host in eqiad.) This will entail a small amount of downtime, to be announced in a future email. Sometime after the first of the month (that's next Tuesday) we will start shutting down pmtpa in earnest -- powering off machines, wiping drives, packing servers into crates, etc. Anything that's left in pmtpa by then will be truly lost for good. Next steps, coming months The mothballed projects are currently on long-term probation. In a few months I'll review the list and determine which projects remain entirely untouched. Projects that seem fully abandoned will be wiped from eqiad as well, and their resources returned to the pool for use by new projects. I will, of course, provide a further series of announcements and warnings before anything of this nature happens. Thank you all for your patience and assistance during this difficult process! -Andrew ___ Wikitech-l mailing list Wikitech-l@lists.wikimedia.org https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikitech-l

Hi Andre, Are you planning to do a walkthrough of your findings on Phabricator in this review. I am interested in the tool's project management and roadmap functionality if any :-) Also how long does this irc session run? 1 hour? Thanks!

[Wikitech-l] What are you looking for in CodeEditor ?
I've been doing some work on the Lua/CSS/JS CodeEditor to make it and its toolbar a bit more usable, but I'm looking for some input on what YOU want. I've listed some ideas here: https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=59924 A list of key commands is here: https://github.com/ajaxorg/ace/wiki/Default-Keyboard-Shortcuts And ACE itself has a demo site that shows a few of the options as well: http://ace.c9.io/build/kitchen-sink.html I've now got a button to show invisible characters, and a button to show the find and replace dialog. Of course most options are available already trough key commands but many people are not familiar with those. If anyone has any specific desires/ideas/feedback etc, I'd love to hear it. Also, if someone can help with making icons for those toolbar buttons, that would also be appreciated.
