Scrum of scrums/2015-02-18

< Scrum of scrums

Facilitating: Grace Gellerman

Release Engineering/QA

edit
  • working on a lot of quiet infrastructure stuff recently
  • no blockers or issues

Apps

edit
  • T87824 Create specialised content API for mobile apps: kickoff meeting rescheduled to 24-February

Security

edit
  • Lots of patches on the cluster
  • working on T78730, finished reviews of mustache (mobile web) and bouncehandler (ops)

Editing

edit
  • OOjs UI 0.7.0 was released last Wednesday, will be in wmf18; contains a breaking change but that shouldn't affect most users
    • As of 0.7.0 you can use $() instead of this.$() and you don't have to do { $: this.$ } any more
  • wmf18 fixes our stripping of <div id="myEventWatcherDiv"> and related plugin garbage, will be backported to wmf17 in SWAT today
  • wmf17 has native arrow keys, wmf18 will have native backspace/delete (awesome work by David Chan)
  • T88650 (data-mw.id support for references) will be in wmf18

Parsoid

edit
  • VE-focused work
    • T88660 to be deployed today. Parsoid will now generate references even if is missing (to match Cite.php), but non-selser roundtripping will add it back to wikitext (dirty diff). Selective serialization (selser) should take care of preventing these dirty diffs. RT testing shows 100+ pages (of 160K pages we test) missing this tag. A good way to improve my edit count on multiple wikis. :)
    • T89411 fixed v2 API issues that blocked RESTbase
    • Christy (OPW intern) added statds timing code to wt2html and html2wt paths -- will be enabled next week after testing in beta labs and verifying sanity of reported numbers
    • T88495 being reviewed and will likely be merged soon
    • A few other tasks closed or have WIP patches

Fundraising Tech

edit
  • PCI consultant in the office from 24th-26th
  • deploying fix for extra Central Notice redirects on mobile
  • more of the usual work on internal dashboard, audit parsing, and CRM extensions

  • (conflict today, cannot attend)
  • Adding support for more languages
  • Working on support for Yandex machine translation (testing)
  • Cleaning up various production related issues
  • Nothing blocking; no cards on the wall for us
