Parsoid

edit
  • Nothing to report in terms of blockers.
  • data-parsoid private attribute now stripped from template content -- will go out on next deploy.
  • New deployments currently held up while we are ensuring that recent code fixes and refactoring (https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/#/c/171154/ ) won't introduce unnecessary dirty diffs -- could be unclogged by tomorrow.
  • Announcement went out on wikitech-l about planned changes to cite extension (prototyped in Parsoid first) -- using CSS for customizing it instead of site messages ( https://lists.wikimedia.org/pipermail/wikitech-l/2014-December/079844.html )

  • We plan to do a lot of ContentTransation testing in the coming weeks until the depoyment in January.
  • No current known blockers. We are getting close to the first big deployment of ContentTranslation, so we may need support from Ops, but nothing in particular right now.
