I could name a lot of individuals. I'll name these in particular: Peaceray,
Bluerasberry, Siko, Rory, and the now-departed Gayle and Philippe. I'm

+thousands to this.

If I started on the full list of stuff I should say "thanks" for, I might
never get around to hitting send.  I'm ok with Wikidata being the only
thing on the list for now, because it's (still) such a big deal.

the time to file bugs, and triage them, and sort things out. The ops who

Thank you Adam, Jan, Kunal, Timo for the major CI overhaul done this
year from refactoring jobs to introducing composer and more.

A special '''thank you''' to Paladox who have sent so many CI changes he
ended up being the 4th contributor in less than six months. Learned from
early mistakes and is now a strong contributor.

A side thanks to the OpenStack foundation infrastructure team which we
borrow the CI stack from. They are always willing to help us fix up the
Wikimedia specific installation.


All developers of the python wikibot framework who probably have the
largest leverage when it comes to edits per dev ratio.  Keep pollinating
python software.

Thank you Tim, Giuseppe, Ori and all involved in the HHVM work. We
switched a year ago and the long tail of the migration is almost done.

WMDE developers and Wikidata developers. I still have no idea how
Wikidata/Wikibase works but I praise your professionalism when it comes
to testing and deployment.


Finally, a huge thank to all volunteers being bold with the code.
Countless changes and some piece of the infra are 100% volunteer driven.

Be bold!

Re: [Wikitech-l] Appreciation thread, 2015

[Aaron Halfaker]

Oooh!  Great idea.  Thanks to:

* DarTar: for being an awesome manager.  My meeting load was cut in half
over the last few months and that has let me work much more productively on
the tech/science of Wikimedia.  I should also mention the organizing work
he is doing to turn citations and scholarly works into Wikimedia open
knowledge items.  I think this is going to be huge in the next couple of
years.
* YuviPanda: for his hard work and vision that is slowly rebuilding the
core infrastructures for tool developers.  Without Yuvi, we'd be building
critical technologies on top of a technological house of cards.
* Gwicke: for being very reasonable in our technological disagreements.
It's important that reasonable people can disagree without thinking less of
each other.  We need more of that in our technical spaces.
* rfarrand & qgil: for being an excellent resource around hackathons and
other dev events.  Also for driving us to be more social.  Their buddy
program has really helped me expand participation in my projects and
allowed me to be a resource for newcomers.
* joal: for finding time to help me with *really really* big data problems
and for always being cheerful in whatever situation.  You make all the work
more fun just by being yourself.
* milimetric: for his calm and consistent pressure on technical and social
issues around Wikimedia.  I owe a lot of sanity to milimetric's ability to
balance long term vision with short-term needs explicitly.
* mgalloway: for moving design and UI standardization work to-the-wiki and
innovating on open processes for collaboration around design.
* Ladsgroup: for his tireless work on making quality control in Wikidata
work better.
* J-Mo: for his hard work building a case for the Wikipedia Teahouse
 and seeing it through.

There are more, but I figured I should stop at some point.

Re: [Wikitech-l] Appreciation thread

[Jack Phoenix]

Thank you to Sumana for all your hard work, including GSoC administration
and much, much more -- and obviously for starting this thread. This is
exactly the kind of positive community spirit we need!

Also thanks to the admin tools development team (Chris Steipp, Tim
Starling, James Alexander, Guillaume Paumier) for all writing much needed
new tools and making sure that they work and that communication between the
team and the rest of the world happens. :-)
Also thanks to Rob Lanphier for giving me the opportunity to act as the
Product Manager for the admin tools development project, despite the fact
that I lacked previous experience in the field.

MZMcBride definitely deserves to be thanked for saying out loud a lot of
difficult and potentially controversial things, on-wiki as well as on
various different mailing lists. It's important that the community has
critical members who dare to question the current state of things, as well
as the future direction of things and the reasoning behind those.

The above names are in no particular order and a lot of people who have
worked on, are working on and plan to work on MediaWiki deserve a lot more
praise than what they've gotten so far. So, thanks to everyone who ever has
worked with MediaWiki in some way (not necessarily in software development)
-- you folks make the Internet not suck.


Thanks and regards,

I know a few people have thanked you for starting this thread, but I
actually came to appreciate you and your work much more in your absence
earlier this month. It wasn't as obvious how much you do (particularly in
bug wrangling and poking and prodding) until you were taking a well-deserved
vacation. "The reward for a job well done is another three jobs," as David
Gerard says. Your ever-growing portfolio shows the truth in this.  :-)

I'm also very grateful for the patience of the wikitech-l community (and
more broadly the MediaWiki development community), who choose to put up with
me and other Wikimedians. It's no secret that Wikimedians are a pain in the
ass to work with: they're quite often hyper-critical, needy, insolent, and
stubborn. They complain loudly and congratulate softly. And this of course
doesn't get into the problems they cause by speaking far too many languages
and wanting MediaWiki to do everything under the sun. ;-)  But the
developers take it all in stride and they do their best to make the user
experience (software, hardware, and everything in between) better each
iteration, all while dealing with a sometimes painfully unsociable lot of
people. For that, I'm have a deep amount of appreciation and respect.

I was thinking of who I appreciated and thought I would mention MZ, too.

I do, of course, appreciate every one else who has been mentioned, but I
think it is important to mention MZ.

Although he is often seen as an irritant, the Foundation needs a
community member like MZ who sticks around (so he is familiar to the
people working in the Foundation) and who consistently and loudly
reminds the Foundation how they could better serve the community.

MZ plays an important part:  In an organisation like the WMF, groupthink
can be a problem.  MZ points out the problems that people would rather
ignore or gloss over.

I'd like to amend my thanks to include Derk-Jan Hartman (thedj), who has

patches for UploadWizard. Great stuff! It should make our

Seconded.

Also thanks to:

blockers, and being patient with us as we review their work
*  Jack Phoenix for the well-ordered task list on Admin tools development[1]
*  Tim for letting me cut to the front of the line with a last minute
review request yesterday
*  Roan for jumping right on the jQuery issues this week

Of course, this is by no means comprehensive, just what I can think of

Looks like the main contributors to this were Andrew Garrett in July
2006 [1] and December 2006 [2], Aaron Schulz in March 2007 [3], and
Andrew again in July 2007 [4].

So appreciation for them, the other old hands that have been around
for such an incredibly long time, and all the other committers that
created the tens of thousands of commits in MediaWiki's history [5];
it's always interesting to dig through them when looking up old stuff
like this.

templates not suck.

* To SPQRobin for his ongoing commitment to making MediaWiki usable to
users who speak all languages, no matter how small or exotic.

* To Krinkle, for being endlessly and tirelessly helpful,

You know, that is something I don't think many of us think about on this list
terribly often.  We have quite a nice "brain-trust" going here.  Between all of
us, our knowledge is really quite extensive.

Its nice being able to enjoy conversation with very intelligent people on

Sumana for being such a kind person and deciding that it would be a good idea
for us to remember that we need to show each other some love sometimes in order
to stay sane.

MZMcBride for sparking some discussions that really needed to be discussed.

All of the people who have helped me troubleshoot that annoying email issue
I was having before.

Everyone on this list for giving me something to do that breaks up my work
day with something of interest to me personally.

Completely random appreciation for whoever implemented the "undo"
feature in MediaWiki, one of its many hidden gems. :-)

Slightly less random but no less impersonal appreciation for all devs
who're going the extra mile to make our projects re-usable by third
parties (i18n project milkshake, Visual Editor team, analytics team,
etc.), and for contributing back upstream when we're building on code
written by others.

Personal appreciation for Yuvi Panda for being a force of awesome and
making a Wikipedia Signpost app. :-)

Thanks to Jeroen, because he fixes bugs super fast and it's been cool
working with him to get the Education Program extension ready.

Thanks to Max, because his public poking and prodding and complaining
help me (as a non-dev) understand better how our tech systems work.

Back atcha.  Mark is cranking out a ton of code on several projects, is a
go-to guy on IRC, contributing on every front.

And while I'm here:

Antoine Musso and Faidon Liambotis are handling some really huge issues so
quietly and unobtrusively that you would never know there was an issue in
the first place.

Matthias Mullie has replaced an entire boutique third-party dev shop on the
AFTv5 project with grace and style.

Fabrice Florin is one of the best project managers I've ever worked with.
 Outstanding on every front, from documentation to communication to
testing.

Finally, everyone chatting on #wikimedia-staff.  As a remote person, that
IRC channel is my link to the office and WMF culture, I learn a lot from
everything that goes on there.

What a great idea, Sumana!

I want to thank many people, but those who come into my mind immediately...

* RobLa, for diligently helping with the Wikidata blockers and nudging
people to work together

* Sam Reed and Ryan Kaldari for teaching the Wikidata team a lot
during their stays in Berlin

* Tim Starling for his heroic work with Daniel K on the infamous
ContentHandler branch, and for his continued support of the Wikidata
work - and the awesome work on Lua. I am excited to see what
Lua+Wikidata will enable...

* Dantman for taking the fire out of the discussion two weeks ago
around the Sites table and bringing it to a constructive continuation

* Siebrand and his team for the work on ULS, their support in using
it, and his moral support

* the rest of the Wikidata team that I am blessed to call my
colleagues, and who are a pleasure to work with. Thank you!

As said, this is an incomplete list, but it already got too long.

Cheers,
Denny

Ok so here's my list:

+ Sumana for GSoC work (there are 1000 other things but I have to pick

experience ;-)

How about a little email thread for us to say nice things about each
other?  Rules: be kind, thank someone, and say why you're thanking them.


In the style of Drew Carey (the points don't matter):

Two thousand and twenty points to Timo (Krinkle) for his consistently 
insightful JavaScript review.


Seven hundred and nineteen points to Reedy for his omnipresence.

Pi to the fifth points to Chris McMahon for being awesome in many ways, 
most notably the recent EtherEditor testing he helped with.


I'm sure there are many other great people, but others will surely help 
to thank them all :)
