It seems that current Wikisource scan image handling implementation is terribly resource consumeng (network, memory): While earlier scan image loaded were max 1k px width, now there are two images downloaded for each scan: max-width + 2*max-width (scalled up for some reason). This means, eg.

I think tackling one thing at a time makes lots of sense, especially if there's a process around it. I don't know who would run such a process, especially considering that developers will generally work on whatever they feel like! Perhaps we need to sketch out (on Meta?) a simple workflow for

Hey everybody, I stumbled upon this message by chance, but now I'm curious: are you implementing IIIF on Wikisource? That's very interesting! Aubrey On Mon, Nov 22, 2021 at 1:13 PM Ruthven wrote: > Hi all, and thanks for the info. > > I get from your messages that there are two major points to

Hi all, and thanks for the info. I get from your messages that there are two major points to be solved: 1. A clear lack of communication (mass messages are often unread or quickly read, because there is some abuse of the tool, and what is important gets lost in the flood of messages). Probably

I think most Wikisource developers are likely to be on this list. Of course, it's best to make sure there are Phabricator tickets for every separate bug or feature request. On 21/11/21 1:36 am, Ankry wrote: Well, I was notified by techncally skilled users that the ned OpenSeadragon library

I totally understand this frustration, and I'm not really sure what the solution is. There's no WMF team responsible for Wikisource (other than the small amounts of work that my team, CommTech, gets to do; although I'm writing this email as my volunteer self). So it's up to whoever wants to do

There's a lot of activity recently on the ProofreadPage extension. It seems a good thing to me: thanks to all involved! I didn't see which commit exactly is at fault, but the first step is usually to note breaking changes on the commit message and add a user-info tag on the task so that it

Hi Ankry, on Italian Wikisource and on Neapolitan Wikisource there are "Technical" village pumps. I suppose that would be the correct place to post it if there is such a page in other languages. It would be interesting to see what happens if a whole community writes on Phabricator in order to

Well, I was notified by techncally skilled users that the ned OpenSeadragon library is much heavier and more memory consuming than curreently used tools. So I can only hope that its load into memory can be disabled if one needs so. (may be critical while working on multiple pages at once)
