2018-11-21 15:50:20 <wm-bot> Technical Advice IRC meeting starting in 10 minutes in channel #wikimedia-tech, hosts: @CFisch_WMDE & @chiborg - all questions welcome, more infos: https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Technical_Advice_IRC_Meeting
2018-11-21 16:00:33 <CFisch_WMDE> \o/
2018-11-21 16:00:45 <chiborg> Welcome to the Technical Advice IRC Meeting! @CFisch_WMDE and me will try to answer your questions in the next 60 minutes.
2018-11-21 16:00:52 <CFisch_WMDE> :-D
2018-11-21 16:03:15 <CFisch_WMDE> Sooo we have a pre-posted question from the user Pintoch on the wiki
2018-11-21 16:03:42 <CFisch_WMDE> but I guess the user's not here yet :-)
2018-11-21 16:06:19 <CFisch_WMDE> Anyone else having questions?
2018-11-21 16:15:40 <CFisch_WMDE> See to be a calm round...
2018-11-21 16:19:59 <McJohn> Holiday tomorrow in the US
2018-11-21 16:22:23 <CFisch_WMDE> Hehe
2018-11-21 16:22:41 <CFisch_WMDE> But not in Europe :-)
2018-11-21 16:30:03 <kaartic> hello is the technical advice meeting in progress?
2018-11-21 16:30:19 <AntiComposite> Yes
2018-11-21 16:30:20 <chiborg> kaartic yes, welcome
2018-11-21 16:32:41 <CFisch_WMDE> kaartic: If you have any questions just fire away :-)
2018-11-21 16:32:54 <addshore> \o
2018-11-21 16:33:23 <kaartic> hi all. i'm about to develop a mobile app which could be used to upload recordings of pronunciations of different words to commons.
2018-11-21 16:33:56 <kaartic> first, i wanted to know if one existed already
2018-11-21 16:33:58 <kaartic> ?
2018-11-21 16:35:03 <CFisch_WMDE> kaartic: there might be something like that already
2018-11-21 16:35:13 <CFisch_WMDE> we'll have a look :-)
2018-11-21 16:37:08 <kaartic> OK. where do you look up info about apps like these?
2018-11-21 16:37:35 <chiborg> kaartic There is https://lingualibre.fr/wiki/LinguaLibre:Main_Page that collects audio recording. Are you looking for an app frontend for that page or a project like this in general?
2018-11-21 16:37:50 <Nudin_WMDE> kaartic: hi
2018-11-21 16:38:27 <Nudin_WMDE> I wanted to develop the exact same thing ;)
2018-11-21 16:38:32 <CFisch_WMDE> kaartic: afaik there's no central place for wiki related apps
2018-11-21 16:38:48 <CFisch_WMDE> for Commons there's this page https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Commons:Upload_tools#Smartphone_apps
2018-11-21 16:39:26 <Nudin_WMDE> (in my volunteer time)
2018-11-21 16:39:37 <CFisch_WMDE> Nudin_WMDE: *g*
2018-11-21 16:41:05 <Nudin_WMDE> I'm currently also investigating LinguaLibre and wether to still develop something. I also have a few friends which would be interested in that, so if you develop something in that direction please let me know :)
2018-11-21 16:42:39 <Nudin_WMDE> I'm User:MichaelSchoenitzer in my volunteer time btw.
2018-11-21 16:43:45 <kaartic> chiborg: yeah. I'm looking for an app frontend for it.
2018-11-21 16:45:02 <CFisch_WMDE> kaartic: I guess https://github.com/commons-app/apps-android-commons is more general purpose but it might be worth it to look at it
2018-11-21 16:45:20 <kaartic> <Nudin_WMDE> hi. glad to hear that. I'm sort of thinking of developing in that direction (ligualibre)
2018-11-21 16:45:37 <CFisch_WMDE> and maybe it makes sense to extend / fork the commons app
2018-11-21 16:46:53 <chiborg> That's also what I would recommend. You could also take some UI inspiration from the app for https://voice.mozilla.org/ , but at least fro me that app did not work well.
2018-11-21 16:48:19 <kaartic> <CFisch_WMDE> I do use the commons app. but never thought if extending it to add this functionality if I'm into developing this. thanks for the hint :-)
2018-11-21 16:49:21 <kaartic> CFisch_WMDE: BTW the page you mentioned about apps (https://commons.m.wikimedia.org/wiki/Commons:Upload_tools#Smartphone_apps) seems a not outdated
2018-11-21 16:49:36 <kaartic> I think there's NP iOS app for commons now
2018-11-21 16:49:52 <kaartic> oops.NP -> NO
2018-11-21 16:51:26 <kaartic> Nudin_WMDE: BTW,I'll let you know if I start developing the app
2018-11-21 16:51:36 <CFisch_WMDE> yeah it seems so - but at leas the code is still there
2018-11-21 16:52:02 <kaartic> Nudin_WMDE: I'm User:Kaartic
2018-11-21 16:52:43 <CFisch_WMDE> kaartic: regarding the android app: You try to contact the devs there and pitch your project, maybe they have some ideas / suggestions
2018-11-21 16:53:31 <kaartic> CFisch_WMDE: sure
2018-11-21 16:54:09 <kaartic> chiborg: thanks for the hint. I'll see into it
2018-11-21 16:54:10 <d3r1ck> o/
2018-11-21 16:54:35 <CFisch_WMDE> Hi d3r1ck :-)
2018-11-21 16:54:56 <d3r1ck> tries to catch up with logs
2018-11-21 16:55:34 <kaartic> Just wondering, if I wanted to develop a standalone app for this which API should I use to communicate with Commons the Mediawiki API or the RestBase one?
2018-11-21 16:55:39 <Nudin_WMDE> kaartic: cool! I'm looking forward to hear from you and will write you it I develop something or find something.
2018-11-21 16:56:07 <kaartic> Does RestBase have all the features for developing such an app?
2018-11-21 16:56:44 <kaartic> Nudin_WMDE: sure. we'll see. :-)
2018-11-21 16:58:24 <chiborg> Looking at the available RestBase enpoints at https://en.wikipedia.org/api/rest_v1/ I see none for uploading content. so I guess it's MediaWiki API
2018-11-21 16:59:17 <chiborg> But you'd have to ask the lingua libra people what APIs they support.
2018-11-21 16:59:49 <chiborg> Or look at https://lingualibre.fr/api.php
2018-11-21 17:00:33 <bawolff> chiborg: Anything that involves editing/inserting content usually goes through mediawiki action api
2018-11-21 17:02:09 <chiborg> And that's it for the Technical Advice IRC Meeting! Thank you for your questions & participation!
2018-11-21 17:04:11 <CFisch_WMDE> o/
2018-11-21 17:08:18 <zchrykng> Tell me if this is stupid/ill-advised, but is it possible to write a python (or other) script to update a page with the contents of a file? Trying to setup a workflow for updating a userscript from a CI pipeline.
2018-11-21 17:09:31 <AntiComposite> Oh...there's someone who does that already. I don't remember who though
2018-11-21 17:09:49 <Platonides> pywikibot
2018-11-21 17:12:05 <kaartic> chiborg: thanks for the info
2018-11-21 17:12:36 <AntiComposite> Twinkle uses https://github.com/azatoth/twinkle/blob/master/sync.pl to sync from GitHub to a ton of Gadget pages
2018-11-21 17:14:24 <zchrykng> Ah, nice. If I get this working, it should be fairly reusable. At least for Gitlab's built in CI.
2018-11-21 17:14:58 <zchrykng> Now I need to learn perl to understand the script though...
2018-11-21 17:14:59 <zchrykng> XD
2018-11-21 17:15:44 <Platonides> interesting parameter: "password for account on wikipedia (do not use)"
2018-11-21 17:16:04 <zchrykng> Maybe legacy option?
2018-11-21 17:20:33 <Platonides> maybe
2018-11-21 17:24:24 <McJohn> Don’t be hatin’ on perl
2018-11-21 17:25:32 <zchrykng> Not hating on it... just never had any reason to learn it.
2018-11-21 17:43:31 <Isarra> Is there some sort of pattern to what projects have compact language links enabled by default?
2018-11-21 17:44:30 <Isarra> Which brings me to my other question: did folks actually NOT want it?
2018-11-21 17:45:13 <Platonides> Isarra: look up the settings at InitialiseSettings.php ?
2018-11-21 17:45:50 <Isarra> Ah, right.
