Reading/Multimedia/Standup notes/2017/April

2017-04-04

Matthias

• Prepare for 3d2png & Extension:3d deployment

2017-04-06

Matthias

• Deploy 3D

2017-04-11

Matthias

• Figure out why 3d2png won't run on beta
  • Mark: The window management systems sounded familiar - believe node-canvas (which is built as a binary) may use one of them...

Mark

• I'm going to do my best to be awake and functioning today. I spent the past ~24 hours in a haze of sleep and fever. I apologize for missing things.
• Have a bit of an interview later, will try to be there for that.

Chris

• Get draft message for COM:VP about policy

Adam

• Speaking about COM:VP discussion a bit
• Triage for MMV bugs (sometime, next few weeks?)

Anthony

• Wondered about morning/evening standups
  • Mark: We could probably rethink the scheduling, since Prateek is no longer involved usually?

2017-04-13

Adam

• Not much update
• Triage set-up?
• Orgchart changed!

Matthias

• 3d2png (almost) working on beta (I think)
• tech task review

James

• Quarterly check-in – MM will be covered in the Reading one, not the Editing one. I'll still be part of it and help write the slides, of course.
• Org chart – Got HR to change it over finally, sorry for the delay.
• Reorg stuff – Unclear .
• Annual Plan stuff
• MW master now has jQuery 3 (not 1); prod will have 1 for a while whilst we fix all the breakages. Use $wgUsejQueryThree = false to use jQ1 if you need it.

Mark

• Interviews, tech tasks, etc.
• Will catch up on 3d2png stuff today
• CL stuff also needs a check-in
• Marginally less sick

2017-04-19

Mark

• Some MMV work, not much, but will start triaging more tomorrow.
• https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/293695 could be reviewed. Krinkle took a look, jdlrobson hasn't chimed in yet, we can probably just go.
• More interview stuff happening this week too

Chris

• 3d communication stalled
  • Mark will take a second look at it tomorrow and chime in.

2017-04-20

Matthias

• Reportupdater data for UW errors
• Investigate MMV "image won't load"

Mark

• Triaging MMV today, sigh

2017-04-24

Mark

• Interview things

Adam

• Email catch-up
• Interview things also

Nirzar

• Also job posting things - maybe have a lead that could work pretty quickly

Anthony

• Getting up to speed
• What to look at?
  • Mark: MMV, UW, 3D?
  • Adam: Cross-wiki upload?

2017-04-25

Matthias

• MMV "image won't load", not actionable at this point
• Schedules 3d patch for deploy tomorrow
• Bring Vagrant 3d in line with beta/prod 3d
• Fixed UW error reportupdater config
• Revied job candidate code

Mark

• Did some candidate stuff yesterday, will be back to triaging today

Adam

• Quarterly check-in (will discuss 3D work, transition)

Chris

• https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Commons:Village_pump#Preparing_for_3D_models_on_Commons

2017-04-27

Chris

• Blog post draft work - phabricator ticket has some volunteers maybe
• Patent/legal thing went off the rails a bit, but generally positive

Mark

• Going to attempt more triaging of MMV today, maybe.
• Would like to discuss mobile-ization of MMV after everyone's updates.
• Also on discussion docket: 3D deploy timeline.

Adam

• multimedia-team list back up and running
• Blog post draft doc shared (no work yet...)
• 3D design work potentially - and testing

Matthias

• 3D is on beta
• disable reuse/warn when license/attribution is missing

Discussion

• FileAnnotations/OpenAnnotations (with special guest Prateek!)
  • Conference on Annotations later this month - do we want to present anything or discuss use on MediaWiki?
  • Lots of different use-cases for annotations in MW
  • Documentation of new spec for OA is not great
  • Probably not helpful to present FA at conference, since it doesn't comply with any OA spec
  • Lots of interest in annotations in MW though
• MMV mobile targeting work - is it worthwhile to start now?
  • Mark will start on this today(ish)
• 3D deploy timeline - when do we push this further (e.g. testwikis and mw.org)?
  • Adam not opposed to us pushing mail to commons-l
  • Should delay push to prod until we've evaluated it fully
