[Wikitech-l] gerrit search

Hi all, I am trying to find a (any) html file in gerrit (trying to find out whether it is displayed as HTML in a browser, but that is not the issue here…). When I enter “html” in the search box, it apparently searches commit messages for html (?). When I try the search syntax as described here

[Wikitech-l] HTML5, it's a coming (again)!

Re: [Wikitech-l] +2 on github (maintaining code quality via an informal review process)

I think documentation of how our current model works would be useful - not just as documentation for people contributing to the mobile projects but for other projects moving to GitHub as well (I see a few i18n ones there now!) -- Yuvi Panda T http://yuvi.in/blog

[Wikitech-l] +2 on github (maintaining code quality via an informal review process)

I wanted to raise an issue that the mobile team has recently discovered during development of the Wiki Loves Monuments mobile app [1] on github. Wikimedia has a github account with currently 18 members [2]. Every single one of these can merge to master on any of the projects. The mobile team earl

[Wikitech-l] Changes to the API for Wikidata

Please note that this is a breaking change for bots! It is decided that the module wbsetitem will change from the present "short form" in the json structure to a "long form". Exactly how the long form will be is still a bit open, but it will be closer to the json output format. The changes also ma
