Partners + W0

edit

Adam B

  • #2 GIF-ification: patch in place, will be deploying supporting code today, but will turn it on with a test config and early adopter to start with, not everything
  • #121 Nested W0 config: being deployed today, but doesn't take effect until changing configs of operators, so not everything will change at once
  • #122 Thumbnail downsampling: no update, will be enabled for new operators plus for a test operator; an operator should under normal velocity get the config within this month

Parsoid

edit

Subbu

  • Ongoing: Bunch of bug fixes.
  • Continued work on visual diffs -- it is now in fairly decent shape and has already helped us fix a few CSS issues + other non-css issues
    • Started looking Parsoid's native cite implementation to identify differences with PHP rendering and find that all differences are related to site/wiki-message based customization.
    • This week: Initial plan is to add that support into Parsoid but also start looking at ways of moving some this out of messages and into css/client-side-js customization
    • Maybe this week: The other major source of rendering diffs relate to extension-specific css resources that Parsoid needs to tackle to eliminate the other major source of rendering diffs.
    • Maybe this/next week: Direct Parsoid production log events to logstash
  • This week: Support tidy in parser tests


  • Switt cluster being upgraded, timeline here: https://wikitech.wikimedia.org/wiki/Swift/Icehouse
