[Wikitech-l] Discovery Weekly Update for the week starting 2016-04-04

2016-04-08 Thread Chris Koerner

Hello again,
Here is the Discovery department's weekly status update for the week
starting 04 April.

* CirrusSearch now uses HTTPS for communication between Mediawiki and the
Elasticsearch backend. This both increases the privacy of Wikipedia users
and helps ensure that we can continue to serve our content even with a
major failure of our main datacenter.

* April 6, 2016 CREDIT Showcase[edit | edit source]
Watch the whole thing  or jump
to specific parts:

** Guillaume gives an overview of SonarQube
.
** Max gives an overview if his work to compare diff algorithms in MediaWiki
.
** Trey gives an update on new functionality in Relevance Forge
.
** Yuri shows some work he did at the recent Hackathon to store structured
data on Wiki , and
consuming it from Graphs.
**More links and Q on the CREDIT etherpad
.


Feedback and suggestions on this weekly update are welcome.

The full update, and archive of past updates, can be found on Mediawiki.org:

Hi everyone,

We would like to let you know that Kunal (User:Legoktm for those who
don’t already know) is moving inside the Editing Department from the
Collaboration Team to the Parsing Team.

The Collaboration team is grateful for Kunal’s great work over the
past year, especially on the backend for cross-wiki notifications.
Prior to that, Kunal spent two years working on SUL finalization,
without which a feature like cross-wiki notifications would not have
been possible.

The Parsing team is very happy to have Kunal join them. Kunal is
really interested to work on implementing shadow namespaces [2]
which enables wikis to specify fallback wikis for pages that don’t
resolve on the local wiki. Among other things, this could enable
creation of global repositories for templates, for example, which
interests us greatly.

There is this little detail of Kunal being a nominee for
affiliate-selected board seats [3] and what happens if he gets
elected [4]. We will cross that bridge when we get there. :-)

Oh... both the Wikimedia lists are members only, I'm afraid. The W3C list
requires a 1-click agreement to their terms. That's easier, but less likely to
involve Wikimedia people.
