Agreed - really exciting to see this come to fruition! :) Kudos to
Siebrand & everyone involved. I'm sure there will be bumps along the
road but it's clearly a bit architectural step forward. It's also nice
to see how the RFC process was used for this.

If the export is going to touch all the files, is it too late to change to
use tabs for indentation instead of spaces to be like the rest of mediawiki?

The mobile web team will be evaluating Gabriel's KnockoutJS template
implementation sometime between April 14 and April 28. The things we will
be looking at include: how well it will work for mobile's current
templating needs, how appropriate it is for mobile delivery, and how much
effort would be involved in migrating our existing templates to it. We'll
update the list with our findings then.

I think there's some room to experiment with various options as
extensions, in beta, etc.  The "pick something" stage is going to have
to weigh a lot of competing objectives -- for UI building, for content
templates, for scripting, visual editor support, etc.  I don't see us
getting to the "pick something" stage until a number of different
implementations have been prototyped in different contexts.

ps. Tyler: please play with the 'spacebars' implementation in

I'm eager to get some closure on the overall RFC about HTML templating
myself.  Am I right to assume that the process is:
1.  Get Knockoff complete enough that we can fairly evaluate it against the

[Wikitech-l] Implementation JSON based localisation format for MediaWiki nearly completed

2014-04-01 Thread Siebrand Mazeland
Long! tl;dr is in the first two paragraphs.

With the merging of https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/#/c/122787/ , probably
the largest patch set for MediaWiki ever (+548314, -714438), MediaWiki core
is now using JSON for localisation of interface messages, per a recently
adopted RfC[1]. Thanks Krinkle/Timo for reviewing!

Please be aware that if you have open patch sets touching *.i18n.php
messages files or MessagesXx.php files, you will have to update your patch
sets to match the new file layout and format.

In December 2013, the first MediaWiki extensions have already been migrated
to use the JSON format. Today, Antoine/hashar enabled a JSON linter on the
jslint job that runs on many Gerrit repositories' patch sets.

Since last week I've started to migrate first all MediaWiki extensions that
are used by WIkimedia to use JSON i18n. At this time, 1.23wmf20 has about
50% of its extensions using the updated format. Migration of two extensions
is taking a little longer[2], but Matt Flaschen is helping with that, and I
expect that to be resolved soon.

Migration of all extensions has been going very smoothly - it's about 80%
done. With the help of reedy/Sam Reed, Raimond Spekking/Raymond, Niklas
Laxström/Nikerabbit and Adam Wight, so far 427 patch sets related to this
project have already been reviewed and merged[3], 40 await review and I
expect some 90 more to be submitted for the project to be completed.

Thanks also go to Roan Kattouw/Catrope for implementation of parts of the
RfC together with Niklas, to Niklas for rewriting LocalisationUpdate to
support the JSON format and more, and all who helped draft the RfC,
including James Forrester, Santhosh Thottingal, David Chan, Ed Sanders,
Robert Thomas Moen, and those who deserve credit but I have forgotten to
mention.

Once all migrations are complete, I'll be doing a full export from
translatewiki.net, which will cause a lot of JSON files to be touched, but
will mostly update encoding (full UTF-8) and add a newline at enf of file
where missing.

What's next? With this project almost completed, next order of business is
creating an RfC on where to go with the data that now remains in the
MessagesXx.php files (like date formatting, fallback, directionality,
namespace names, special page names, etc.) and localisation for special
page names, magic words and namespace names that are still being
implemented using $wgExtensionMessagesDirs. Maybe this is something we
could discuss and prototype during the hackathon. Please let me know if
this is something you'd like to work on.

Again, thanks for the help, and apologies for the inconvenience these
changes may have caused you!

trying to find someone to review his patches. We'd appreciate any help that

I don't see a huge case for discussing this in the RFC meeting. It's mostly
about the implementation at this point, and IMO code review and pull
requests are a better place to discuss that. We'll post benchmark results
when we have them.

Do you see anything that you feel would be better discussed in an RFC review?

The example might not have been the most helpful one. Consider a handlebars
template like this:

{{title}}

Even with double-stashes you'll be in trouble if your url data happens to be
'javascript:alert(cookie)'. For this you need special and ideally automatic
sanitization for href attributes (and src & style), which is what
KnockOff/TAssembly provides.

I'm fairly sure not, although you might be able to run those from the logs.
I would really like to see a feedback mechanism in fancycaptcha (or all

Yay, more European ops staff!

Welcome Giuseppe!

Cheers,

He's coming from Venere, a daughter company of Expedia, and has greatly
helped streamline Operations and improve service reliability there.

Migration is now finished.  You may need to log out and in again in 
order to get complete labs functionality.

It should only take a few minutes, but don't be alarmed if things are

Hello everyone,

Florence asked me to forward this request to the list, which I am happy to do

Newsgroups: gmane.org.wikimedia.mediawiki



Hello

A friend of mine is looking for a designer who could work on a responsive 
mediawiki skin for a mediawiki-based website for a company.
The goal would rather be to make the skin best for use on tablets.

Would any of you be interested by such a task ? Or would know someone who 
could ? Or would have pointers for such a skin ?

Please feedback here or to my email address fdevouard @@@ anthere.org

Thanks

[Wikitech-l] Welcome Giuseppe Lavagetto to Wikimedia Operations

2014-04-01 Thread Mark Bergsma
I'm pleased to announce that today, Giuseppe Lavagetto will be joining the 
Operations Team as an Operations Engineer. Giuseppe is based in Rome, Italy and 
will be working with us remotely. He's coming from Venere, a daughter company 
of Expedia, and has greatly helped streamline Operations and improve service 
reliability there.

Giuseppe is very passionate about free and open source, free content and user 
privacy, and these aspects are strong motivations for him to join the Wikimedia 
Foundation. In his free time, he's an active volunteer with Autistici[1], a 
project that provides users communications privacy and helps avoid censorship. 
He also likes to contribute to various small FLOSS projects and loves music, 
blues, soul and hip-hop in particular. He's happily living with his wife and 11 
year old step-daughter in Rome.

Giuseppe will be joining us next week in our off-site team meeting in Athens, 
which should be a short trip for him. :)

Please welcome Giuseppe!
