[18:05:17] andre__: can https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T182806#3835084 be imported to GCI please? [18:06:12] Zppix, feel free to do it! [18:06:27] I cant import atm [18:06:34] Zppix: everybody can create tasks. [18:06:37] Zppix: https://codein.withgoogle.com/dashboard/tasks/new/ [18:06:44] there is no "importing" used anyway. [18:06:52] Oh [18:06:55] Ok [18:07:33] Zppix, however the task is too unclear. [18:07:47] How should I write a "summary of what the bot can do"? How should I know? [18:08:01] How should I know "where to find the bot on irc"? [18:09:47] Yeah i was wondering about that... ill note that [18:10:02] Zppix, imagine you do not know anything and read your task. [18:10:17] Why is there an 'about.php' in a python bot? [18:11:28] Andre, did you see my wikidata task? (Draft only atm) [18:12:18] jayvdb: webservice [18:13:19] Gci task: rewrite as flask app ;) [18:14:06] (Or django, etc) [18:14:10] andre__ https://codein.withgoogle.com/dashboard/tasks/5001593617383424/preview/ is that better? [18:14:17] jayvdb: heh no thanks [18:15:17] https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T182766 [18:16:52] I was think 'one fact' for task 'I', 5 facts for 'II', 10 facts for 'III' [18:18:38] Maybe do a prequel to task 1 walking them through wikidata jayvdb ? [18:18:54] Even I have trouble with wikidata sometimes [18:19:02] could also do some wikidata label translation tasks. Fairly low risk [18:19:28] Hmm adding translations is against the rules [18:20:01] S/adding/writing/ new [18:20:33] Zppix, the Wikidata intro and tour is really good. We use it all the time in WMID and no dramas [18:20:47] Ok [18:22:00] but I dare not ask them to add lots of data for the first assessment. One fact is easy to revert. [18:22:41] :P [18:22:50] 5 maybe doable for the first task [18:26:06] jayvdb, sounds good to me! [18:26:09] Zppix, no it is not [18:26:19] we can have translation tasks but that is new, see the docs [18:27:04] andre__: we cant have students write translation? [18:27:25] great. I'll look for a set of mentors to help. And more examples of good items [18:30:27] Zppix, yes, the restriction has been lifted, but Google advises us to be very careful about how the tasks are framed [18:30:50] Oh [18:30:52] Zppix, we can [18:30:59] When was it lifted? [18:30:59] see https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Google_Code-in/Mentors [18:31:17] lately. [18:31:36] I didnt notice [18:32:06] I didnt either until jayvdb told me :D [18:33:37] Anyway is this okay? https://codein.withgoogle.com/dashboard/tasks/5001593617383424/preview/ [18:34:20] andre__: macfan is a gci student [18:34:36] Uh? Hah. I did not know. [18:34:45] Lol [18:34:48] Zppix: "www.tools.wmflabs.org/zppixbot/documentation.html" is not a link but apart from that okay [18:34:55] Ok [18:34:57] also wikimedia needs to be more cautious than other orgs, as translation is a core component of what we do, and we dont want students getting into conflicts with the editing community [18:35:41] Zppix, your link is broken and cannot be opened in Firefox 57 [18:35:45] just saying [18:36:10] Fixed [18:36:11] I'll fix it [18:36:13] heh [18:36:27] published [18:36:29] thanks! [18:36:36] Np [18:36:49] Translatewiki tasks would be good, if suitable mentors are on board [18:37:38] I wonder if we can trick Nikerabbit into this :-/ [18:39:39] Probably, as long as the translation tasks are of increasing complexity, so they are learning the intricate details of i18n [19:24:41] mvolz: are you interesting in trying https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T152159 again?
