[21:02:07] Phabricator Updates brown bag links: [21:02:12] Presentation: https://docs.google.com/presentation/d/1NcRLK0P7qmSmXTfR328TMRyvBMI252vYP4i5rNaMtqA/edit#slide=id.p [21:02:36] etherpad notes: [21:02:38] https://etherpad.wikimedia.org/p/Exciting_new_changes_to_phabricator_brownbag_2016 [21:03:28] who's speaking? [21:03:35] we can see [21:03:36] David Strine [21:06:07] hit "Allow"? [21:06:47] i'm going to ask him to do so [21:06:53] hello [21:06:54] danke [21:07:18] thanks :brendan_campbell [21:07:30] https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/phame/post/view/1/what_s_new_lots_of_improvements_on_phabricator.wikimedia.org/ [21:08:53] {{done}} [21:11:14] I am @mmodell, for those that don't know me. [21:12:08] Project-Creators was recently renamed to Project-Admins: https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/project/profile/835/ [21:16:14] Essentially a task can't be tagged with a sub-project and the parent, because the parent is implied. [21:20:08] \o/ autocomplete [21:21:02] Phabricator update brown bag Q &A is open [21:22:05] can we have more fine-grained permissions for subprojects? I.e. I don't want to be able to create new projects maybe but to create subprojects for a couple of projects I work with [21:22:49] twentyafterfour: maybe this was mentioned and I wasn't paying enough attention but can you have multiple sub-projects tagged with a shared parent project? [21:23:17] SMalyshev: good one [21:24:00] SMalyshev: will ask your question next [21:24:04] jeremyb-phone: no, you don't tag the parent project, because that's implied by the fact that it's tagged with one or more sub-projects [21:24:38] SMalyshev: I don't think there is a separate capability for creating sub-projects [21:25:51] yes you can use phab-04.wmflabs.org to test things out [21:25:56] twentyafterfour: did you hear David's request to get in bluejeaans? [21:26:03] I'm on bluejeans [21:26:03] twentyafterfour: I know. you said above you can't do that. that's not what I asked? [21:26:52] jeremyb-phone: I guess I didn't understand [21:26:53] can you tag a single Task with both #fr-dev and #fr-money if those are both sub projects of #fr ? [21:27:02] jeremyb-phone: yes [21:27:06] ok :) [21:27:25] but if #fr-dev and #fr-money are milestones then no, it can only be in one or the other [21:27:36] that's the difference between subprojects and milestones [21:27:53] a task can only be in one milestone but it can be in many subprojects [21:28:28] oh, i didn't know milestones were hashtags. are those new? [21:28:46] milestones used to just be ordinary workboard columns, no? [21:28:52] twentyafterfour: would it be hard to have separate capabilities for projects and subprojects? [21:28:56] jeremyb-phone: yes milestones are new. they don't get hashtags by default though, the hashtag is optional [21:29:44] same for milestones... it kind of looks excessive for me to ask admin permissions to just be able to set milestones on my project [21:30:16] SMalyshev: Agreed, I'm not sure how difficult that would be to implement though. [21:30:17] SMalyshev: has twentyafterfour: answered your question or do you want me to ask it to David? [21:30:58] ggellerman: well, partially :) Maybe David knows if it's possible/planned/etc.? [21:31:20] SMalyshev: will ask David :) [21:33:11] ggellerman: thanks! [21:34:42] SMalyshev: I think that the answer for now is to just give you permissions for creating projects and trust you to use your access for good not evil ;) [21:35:14] twentyafterfour: ok :) [21:37:42] did anyone else have weird colors at the end? [21:37:45] or middle [21:37:53] The reason we restrict project creation, is because we want to be sure that the people who are creating projects understand how the system works so that we don't make a mess with a bunch of confusing and incoherent project trees. Once you understand how projects work we can add you to acl*project-admins. We have documentation about how that works on wiki at [21:37:54] https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Phabricator/Project_management#Projects [21:38:07] jeremyb-phone: yes the colors went wonky for sure [21:38:12] as soon as I heard "recording has stopped" was back to normal. earlier it was purple at one point and the end was green [21:38:22] ok, thanks for the sanity check [21:39:59] The wiki is currently missing documentation about sub-projects and milestones, we need to figure out the best ways to use those features and then document everything on wikimedia.org
