Wikimedia Platform Engineering/MediaWiki Core Team/Check-ins/20131216

who: Bryan, Ori, Tim, Brad, Antoine, Nik, Aaron, Chris, Chad

Curl multi client, getting it working with SwiftFileBackend
- Client should be used by store class in https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Requests_for_comment/PHP_web_service_interface
Job queue deduplication

Improved client-side latency measurements; implementation now supports browsers that do not implement Navigation Timing (~40%).
Some improvements to udpprofiler / mwprof
Wrapping up Graphite migration
Chipping away at shitty JavaScript (code that needlessly loads on every page -- I’m looking at you, MWEmbedSupport and TimedMediaHandler)
Goal is to get rid of all DOM insertions that happen after DOMContentLoaded

Most Jenkins jobs made to run in parallel (aka Jenkins should report faster when submitting several changes on the same repo)
Parsoid self updating on beta soon (™)
Beta used more than ever (GWTools, PHP new version before production deployment)
- To be maintained by multimedia team
Browsertests triggered from Gerrit for ULS. WIP: Parsoid/VisualEditor

DoS paper
Security release this week, hopefully
OAuth training on Wednesday 18th
(mostly) Finished reviews of GWTools, Flow, Scholarship
Looking at Twig in general… should this be an rfc (mw:Requests_for_comment/Template_Engine)?
- Main concern: performances!
Polyspace evaluation (Tim)
- Read Tim’s blog if you haven’t : http://tstarling.com/blog/2013/12/polyspace/
- Abstract (by Antoine) : it is a software and quoting Tim : “It is awesome and probably smarter than me”.
