Collaboration

[edit]
  • Blocking:
    • External store work
  • Blocked:
  • Updates:
    • Working on support for Flow notifications being properly hidden on moderation
    • Work on the Echo special page
    • Working on improving Flow user experience when page is protected or otherwise not editable
    • Flow dumps now have XSD schema on MediaWiki.org. Waiting on ops for the actual dumps. Let us know if there's anything we can do.

Parsing

[edit]
  • Updates
    • Kunal joined the parsing team (see wmfall, wikitech-l announcement)
    • As of yesterday, Parsoid will now generate localized image options (e.g thumb, left). This is a followup based on changes to core that reordered aliases for wikis so that Parsoid can pick a consistent choice and generate the wiki's preferred alias. The full change will take effect once the m/w train finishes deploy tomorrow
    • Additional work ongoing to replace Tidy with a HTML5 parser -- some essential Tidy functionality is now implemented as DOM passes. We'll likely not replicate all of Tidy functionality and deliberately break some corner case functionality that probably only matters for parser test runs. Announcement on wikitech-l in the coming weeks.
    • Work ongoing to get a m/w install initialized with 60K+ titles from 41 wikis (wikipedia, wikisource, wiktionary, wikivoyage) for visual diff testing -- this is proving to be somewhat of a painful process since dump import is slow and running into troubles with mediawiki vagrant (not sure if it is the import process or if it is mediawiki-vagrant -- getting help from Kunal and Bryan)
