[00:40:30] csteipp: when i first started reading your mail i was thinking oauth would be a way for consumers to vouch for users. and then it wouldn't matter how they were logged in as long as the vouch wasn't revoked? [00:41:20] jeremyb: That would be the case too... but if the only purpose of the app is to edit a wiki, then the app itself probably doesn't actually care, right? [00:41:28] It can either edit as the user, or not. [00:42:08] If it wants to give special rights to users with X edits, or users who haven't been blocked in Y years, they could do that [00:42:20] * jeremyb don't know know exactly [00:42:27] * jeremyb has to run away [00:47:27] csteipp: oooh, another idea: people put down a deposit (bitcoin?) and if the edit goes x days without being reverted then the deposit is returned to them. (not perfect, just brainstorm) [00:48:45] Paid editing [00:49:51] jeremyb: and if it is, who gets the cash? i can see the conspiracy theories already :D [00:50:25] MatmaRex: i think that's not such an important detail? [00:50:43] i'm not aware of any currencies or "currencies" that would allow you to "disperse" value, unless we invent a new one [00:51:09] MatmaRex: WMF? split between WMF and a few other orgs? (EFF? UNICEF?) [00:51:28] MatmaRex: the point is i don't think we need to decide now [00:51:44] masonic conspiracy. [00:51:47] :D [00:52:41] just requiring proof of work, which chris also mentioned (so essentially time-limiting vandalisms) might work better imo [04:11:12] http://techcrunch.com/2013/12/27/apple-mac-pro-review/ <-- this review give some good info and levelheaded assessments. [16:31:09] https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Special:UploadWizard gives [16:32:55] works now [16:40:08] edward: Can you reproduce? [16:40:20] nope, it started working again [16:40:34] 'kay, good [16:42:06] marktraceur: I checked also, no sign of it [20:35:27] ugh, who knew https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Help:Common_words,_searching_for_which_is_not_possible [20:40:20] <^d> It's a hard problem :) [20:40:36] <^d> What words are important? [20:42:06] the [20:42:07] and [20:42:08] a [20:42:15] "Novel" is important! I just created [[Novel]]!! [20:43:02] that how I found out this lovely list https://en.wikiquote.org/w/index.php?title=Help:Common_words,_searching_for_which_is_not_possible&diff=prev&oldid=1660032 [20:43:32] <^d> So, that's mysql stop lists, which aren't lucene stop lists :) [20:43:54] <^d> Also, it'd be nice if we could let wikis customize the stop lists to some degree. [20:44:08] <^d> (For lots of languages, Lucene doesn't have any stop words!) [20:44:40] Yes, like 250 [20:45:24] That's why I filed https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=54875 [20:54:01] neat [21:40:07] legoktm: we have folk with 'oversight' rights on Wikimedia? [21:40:40] https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=59120#c9 I mean
