[08:21:09] Uh-oh "Procurement for Asia datacenter has started" https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Scrum_of_scrums/2017-10-25 [15:36:53] Technical Advice IRC meeting starting in 30 minutes in channel #wikimedia-tech, hosts: @addshore & @Christoph_Jauera_(WMDE) - all questions welcome, more infos: https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Technical_Advice_IRC_Meeting [15:54:53] uh, can someone remond me how i search through the code of all mw extensions on github? [15:59:43] DanielK_WMDE: isnt it the mw/ext repo [15:59:45] ? [16:00:05] @DanielK_WMDE: just search under the Wikimedia org [16:00:47] Unless you want ones outside the org too, then just search on Github! [16:00:51] I get this error everytime I use Special:Nuke on commons https://puu.sh/yclFV/cee654326b.png [16:00:57] \o/ [16:01:24] Hi there and welcome to Technical Advice IRC meeting! [16:01:27] o/ [16:01:55] kolbert: you should probably file a bug in phabricator for that one! [16:02:04] Alright! thanks [16:02:06] kolbert: hmm looks like some dependencies are not loaded correctly [16:02:08] yeah [16:04:11] Soo again nothing official on the agenda. Hope everyone got the time right today ^^ [16:04:49] Why is drastic change as removing temporary and user tables buried as a footnote to server decommission? I understand not many people use it, but not many people use webservice either. [16:06:33] Dispenser: Do you have a link? I am not involved there but could have a look who to ask.. [16:07:15] Zppix: me/ext just has submodules, that was my problem. [16:07:25] addshore: yea, searching in the org instead of repos was the solution. thanks [16:07:43] DanielK_WMDE: oh i guess thats true :/ [16:08:02] DanielK_WMDE: or Cline them all ;) [16:08:53] Clone... [16:08:53] It was kind of mentioned in the mailing list, basically here are the new server types (2), they're each missing these x or y features. Servers labsdb1001 will be retired December. [16:10:40] Hi [16:10:49] I'm partially aware why it was done, I just don't understand why it was kind of buried since many bytes were split about needing users databases to join to. [16:10:55] Aguyintobooks: hello [16:11:37] I have a question about the content translation tool, how difficult would it be to program it to flag words that are not in a definded range [16:12:10] Dispenser: that question might be best directed at someone in #wikimedia-cloud [16:12:34] so if I was converting an english article into simple.wiki, it would tell me which words are not part of the simple english vocabulary [16:12:36] Ok [16:15:18] Aguyintobooks: I am not sure if there is something available as an official simple english vocabulary [16:16:02] * legoktm waves [16:16:09] hi legoktm [16:16:12] I could easily import a list of words, my question really is: is this a function it is capable of doing? [16:18:06] Ok that seems to be question best addressed to someone from the dev team there [16:18:20] https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Content_translation [16:18:43] Content translation -> #mediawiki-i18n maybe. [16:19:04] (though I'm not sure I understand Aguyintobooks' question and what a "defined range" is supposed to be) [16:19:43] andre__: i think he means like an array of words [16:19:44] defined range = list of 15000 common words plus common placenames [16:20:33] Ah. Interesting one! [16:24:19] :) [16:25:32] CFisch_WMDE: https://simple.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Basic_English_alphabetical_wordlist [16:26:47] ah, nice [16:27:31] to clarify I would prefer to use the extended wordset which has more words, https://simple.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Basic_English_combined_wordlist plus common placenames [16:33:00] as part of my perennial "I should do some dev work", is there a nice list of things that need doing that are still accessible to someone that doesn't do much mediawiki stuff very often? [16:33:28] zuzak: Yeah, we have an "easy" tag in phabricator for such tasks [16:34:21] zuzak: https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/maniphest/query/PaVmrjYb6zFl/#R [16:35:10] zuzak, https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Annoying_little_bugs and what was already written ^ [16:35:11] zuzak: Look for task that are not already assigned to someone :-) [16:35:11] zuzak: If there's a particular area in which you're interested in, I may be able to narrow it down to something more specific [16:35:42] Zuzak i also am doing a python (sopel.chat) ircbot if you want to just get a feel for how wmf does code review, toolforge and etc just let me know (search tool-Zppixbot on phab) [16:41:36] I'll take a look :) [16:49:52] Final 10 minutes! [16:50:00] :-) [16:51:37] Is it out of scope for this meeting for me to beg for code review for https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/#/c/377775/ (trivial patch)? [16:53:06] hrhr [16:53:45] Lol bawolff [16:54:47] bawolff: well, it worked ;) [16:56:28] oh so that is technical advice right addshore ? :D [16:57:05] hashar: indeed! [16:57:07] addshore: CFisch_WMDE maybe you could announce it on wikitech-l? That is the first time I hear about [16:57:23] I have just found it out via the irc notification :] [16:57:24] hashar: it was [16:57:28] hashar: I believe it has been in wikitech-l a fair bit! [16:57:28] ahh [16:57:33] so I am just getting old [16:57:35] ;) [16:57:42] Arent we all? [16:58:30] Well, I think that just about wraps it up! [16:58:34] but spread the word hashar ;-) [16:59:29] hmm [16:59:43] I can make Jenkins to advertise this as a hint whenever a CI build fails [17:00:59] haha, that would be sneaky [17:01:10] Jenkins "Hey I don't know what happened here, but just go and ask the guys at the Technical Advice IRC meeting. They will figure it out! (and merge your patches)" [17:02:48] anyway that is a good initiative :] [17:07:27] addshore: Thanks :)
