Multimedia

edit

Blocking: Not that I know of.

  • Blocked: Metrics work currently paused pending some burning questions for halfak, MarkTraceur to sit down with him this week. Look out, Security, we're hoping to get security review on a new extension (see below) in the next few months.
  • Updates:
    • Labs instance with ImageTweaks (name WIP) going up today, email to (wikitech|commons|multimedia)-l later tonight
    • Some work on NewFiles, in particular filtering by tag, but it's not going super. MatmaRex wanted some extra eyes on it, but I think he's contacted someone already.

Parsing

edit
  • Blocking: ???
  • Blocked: ???
  • Updates:
    • The templatedata-based serialization patch ( https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/#/c/264043/ ) didn't go out this week after all -- yet to be reviewed. Possible it will get reviewed this week.
    • Parsoid testing services (parsoid rt-testing; parsoid <--> php-parser html visual diff testing) fully puppetized and operational on ruthenium. Work ongoing to enable visual diff testing between production mediawiki and a non-production mediawiki (to test for example changes to parsing) using labs hardware ( https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T120345 ).
      • Would appreciate help from anyone familiar with hiera (to configure labs hardware to use existing puppet roles, and making any additional tweaks).
    • This week, Arlo will start Parsoid-side work to separate out data-mw into its own RESTBase bucket -- deployment is still some ways away. We need to finalize REST API versioning policy ( https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T124365 ) and also have all the various Parsoid clients updated. We will create phab tickets for dependent projects once T124365 is resolved.
      • Last week, Flow, Services, and us had a meeting and figured out a strategy for Flow since they use VE, but also talk with Parsoid (and not RESTBase).
    • Parsoid native implementation for gallery underway (heads up: CX, VE, Flow, Reading)
    • Tim working to collect source location information in the PHP preprocessor for errors / warnings and a way to expose them. Useful in general, but, also specifically in the context of work related to replacying Tidy.

Android
