I missed getting the Cloud Services update into the etherpad, but it
was pretty boring:

[Wikitech-l] Using a PSR-4 autoloader in MediaWiki

2017-12-14 Thread Kunal Mehta 
Hi,

You can now use a PSR-4 autoloader[1] in MediaWiki core and via
extension.json.

If you're not familiar with PSR-4, it's a standard which tells
autoloaders that if a class is named Foo\Bar\Baz, it can be found at
$basePath/Bar/Baz.php. This means that we don't need to keep a mapping
of classes to filenames, and instead just need to register the namespace
with the autoloader.

In extension.json, you can register PSR-4 compliant namespaces with the
"AutoloadNamespaces" property[2]. You can also look at the
ContentTranslation, Linter, or ORES extensions for examples.

[1] http://www.php-fig.org/psr/psr-4/

Re: [Wikitech-l] Announcing a new security testing tool for MediaWiki extensions "phan-taint-check-plugin"

2017-12-14 Thread Addshore 
WMF CI currently uses a docker image to run phan tests.

This is currently at https://hub.docker.com/r/wmfreleng/mediawiki-phan/

Once we get this running in CI there will also be a docker image for phan
with the security plugin.

Re: [Wikitech-l] Announcing a new security testing tool for MediaWiki extensions "phan-taint-check-plugin"

2017-12-14 Thread Brian Wolff 
The 7.0 requirement is due to phan 0.8. You could try changing the version
of phan to a higher one (I used phan 0.8 originally because thats what
Wikimedia used in their continous integration setup. Which in retrospect
really didn't matter). I have not tried it with higher versions of phan. I
have no idea how stable the phan plugin api is, so it could totally work
with higher versions of phan - I have no idea. That is really something I
should test.

You should be able to co-install both versions of php beside each other,
with the php 7.0 binary named php7.0 instead of php. On macs homebrew will
let you do this, and I assume other installation methods will let you do
this too.

Thanks,

[Wikitech-l] Fwd: [Wikimedia-l] Community Wishlist Survey: Top 10 wishes of 2017!

Subject: [Wikimedia-l] Community Wishlist Survey: Top 10 wishes of 2017!
To: Wikimedia Mailing List 


Hi everyone,

The Community Tech team is happy to announce the top 10 wishes from the 2017
Community Wishlist Survey!

More than 1,100 people participated in the survey this year -- proposing,
discussing and voting on 214 ideas. There was a two-week period in November
to submit and discuss proposals, followed by two weeks of support voting.
The top 10 proposals with the most support votes now become Community
Tech's backlog of projects to evaluate and address.

And here's the new top 10:

#1. Maps improvements (154 support votes)
#2. Ping users from the edit summary (127)
#3. Programs and events dashboard (111)
#4. Blame tool (110)
#5. Infobox wizard (106)
#6. Article Alerts for more languages (102)
#7. Auto-save edits (96)
#7. Thanks notification for log entries (tie, 96)
#9. SVG translation (94)
#10. Commons deletion notification bot (91)

You can see the whole list here, with links to proposals, project pages and
Phabricator tickets:
https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/2017_Community_Wishlist_Survey/Results

So what happens next?

In 2018, the Community Tech team is responsible for investigating and
addressing the top 10 wishes. If there's a wish in the top 10 that we can't
work on, because it's unfeasible or because another group is working on it,
then we'll explain why we can't.

To get updates on our progress:

There are project pages for each of the top 10 wishes, which you can put on
your watchlist. We'll update them as the project progresses. (At time of
writing, these are just skeletons; actual information on each project is
still to come.) Feel free to post questions and suggestions on the project
talk pages: https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Category:Community_Tech_-
_Current_projects

If you're familiar with the Phabricator ticketing system, the main Phab
task for each wish is noted on the Results page. You can also subscribe to
those tickets for updates.

We also publish several status reports through the year, to keep people
updated. You can watch the main Community Tech page for updates:
https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Community_Tech

There are more questions and answers on the Wishlist Survey FAQ:
https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/2017_Community_Wishlist_Survey/FAQ

Thanks to everybody who proposed, discussed, debated and voted on ideas in
this year's Wishlist Survey!

I'm interested in trying it. However, I'm on macOS with php 7.1.1 and reluctant 
to downgrade to php 7.0 or set up a virtual machine just for this. Has anybody 
tried it wih macOS and/or php 7.1.1?

Re: [Wikitech-l] Sunsetting Trending Edits Service before the holiday

2017-12-14 Thread Marko Obrovac 
Hello all,

Just a quick note to let you know that as of now the trending edits public
end point is no longer available to clients.

On a personal note, I also concur that such a tool is an interesting source
of data that can be applied in various contexts and hope to see work picked
up in the future.


Cheers,
