Thanks a lot to everybody who make it possible! I find the GeoIP solution quite elegant. I wrote a script this morning to let anonymous users opt-in for being redirected to HTTPS with the same forceHTTPS cookie [1]; such a script could be used to increase the proportion of HTTPS visitors (p

Just out of curiosity, what code are you using to do license parsing? If you want seriously robust parsing, you might take a peek at https://github.com/dmgerman/ninka Luis On Wed, Aug 28, 2013 at 1:36 PM, Ryan Kaldari wrote: > Just for fun, I added some license-parsing logic to Template:Extensi

Re: [Wikitech-l] WMFs stance on non-GPL code

Just for fun, I added some license-parsing logic to Template:Extension on mediawiki.org. I think the job queue is still updating the categories, but so far we have: Extensions with no license specified: 596 Extensions with an unknown license: 779 GPL licensed extensions: 667 MIT licensed extensions

Re: [Wikitech-l] New search backend live on mediawiki.org

Will it be set as the search backend further on Wikimedia projects? Is there source code available for Elasticsearch on Gerrit? I couldn't find it. Stemming doesn't work for some languages at all, thus searching exact matches only. On Wed, Aug 28, 2013 at 9:20 PM, Nikolas Everett wrote: > Today

Hey, Two days ago I created a tag for Diff [0]. While I'm writing this mail, the tag has yet to appear on the GitHub mirror [1]. I made a commit after I first noticed the tag did not appear to see if replicating that would also sync the tags, which turned out not to be the case, as the commit made

[Wikitech-l] New search backend live on mediawiki.org

Today we threw the big lever and turned on our new search backend at mediawiki.org. It isn't the default yet but it is just about ready for you to try. Here is what is we think we've improved: 1. Templates are now expanded during search so: 1a. You can search for text included in templates 1b.
