It's one of the easier things to do in Labs currently. Contributing to our beta infrastructure isn't the only thing someone can do to help out with our infrastructure.
We have nearly 150 projects in Labs. Some of them are development related, but a large number are for improving infrastructure in production. Here's some projects that are infrastructure related: * analytics * ganglia * gerrit * gluster * integration * maps * nginx * openstack * otrs * packaging * pediapress * performance * puppet * puppet-cleanup * ... about 2x more There's a list of TODO items: < http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Wikimedia_Labs#TODO> There's a list of proposals: < http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Wikimedia_Labs#Proposals> There's a list of Labs infrastructure bugs: < https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/buglist.cgi?list_id=171774&resolution=---&resolution=LATER&resolution=DUPLICATE&query_format=advanced&component=Infrastructure&product=Wikimedia%20Labs > I think what we're mostly missing is a quick list of easy things to do or fix as a call to action. - Ryan _______________________________________________ Wikitech-l mailing list Wikitech-l@lists.wikimedia.org https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikitech-l
