Re: [Wikitech-l] Survey: best times for volunteering

[DeltaQuad Wikipedia]

Is this for these specific dates or in general?

 Hi, please find 5 minutes for this survey:

 http://www.doodle.com/**minqnd6ngz9npfdvhttp://www.doodle.com/minqnd6ngz9npfdv

 In an *average* week, when are you more available to volunteer a couple of
 hours? Multiple choices are good. No registration required.

 VERY IMPORTANT: select your timezone!

 Deadline: end of Sunday, May 21.

 We want to organize activities for technical volunteers at the times that
 suit you best. But we have contributors with different habits in different
 parts of the World. This survey will help us covering better everybody's
 preferences.

 Thank you!

Re: [Wikitech-l] New experimental feature on IRC

[DeltaQuad Wikipedia]

I personally don't have a problem with it. The only issue I see with it is
it could show when users are getting on IRC, and over time could indicate a
timezone that said user is in, not that a wiki contribs page already does
this.

 I don't really see how that breaks any privacy, in fact it just tell
 you since when you are using the channel. I don't think it breaks the
 privacy more than similar date on wikipedia (when you create account
 there is a log for that)

 If someone explain to me what is wrong on that, I will remove it. The
 reason why mw-bot wasn't logging JOIN and PART events was to protect
 users from leaking their hostname / IP which is part of that

  You might want to remove the Active since section, MWBot was set to
  not record channel joins and quiets in the logs for a user privacy
  point of view (from what I could find and read), this seems to be
  hitting on that area. (And yes, I know a user could run a anaylais of
  their own on the log lines to find something quasi similar)

  Hi,
 
  I just wanted to announce that based on request from one community
  member I created a new feature in wm-bot, which may appear to be
  unneeded on first sight, but when I was thinking of that, it's not
  really so stupid. It collects various informations about user activity
  in channel (in xml) and allow them to be rendered in some way. In this
  moment I only display number of messages for each user, for example:
 
  http://bots.wmflabs.org/~wm-bot/db/%23wikimedia-labs.htm (scroll to
 bottom)
 
  This is happening only in selected channels as experiment, but I
  believe that it could motivate people to be more active and therefore
  more helpful in these help channels. Also it would let us see how much
  bots are active compared to people. (For example in #mediawiki.htm you
  can see that most active users are bots)
