[17:58:46] <Ironholds>	 halfak, research question?
[18:01:03] <halfak>	 Ironholds, wussup?
[18:02:08] <Ironholds>	 halfak, do we have any research on whether a crappy article > no article for encouraging people to edit?
[18:36:28] <Nemo_bis>	 Ironholds: I hear there will soon be such a paper, about OSM
[18:37:25] <Ironholds>	 Nemo_bis, cool! Who by/from/do you know where I can get a prepub copy?
[18:38:27] <Nemo_bis>	 Not sure there is a preprint already
[18:40:08] <Ironholds>	 aww
[18:40:13] <Ironholds>	 well, know who I can poke about it?
[18:49:10] <halfak>	 Ironholds, nothing I know about.  Closest I can think of Zhang & Zhu 07
[18:49:29] <halfak>	 Woops.  2006
[18:49:30] <halfak>	 http://ebusiness.mit.edu/wise2006/papers/3A-1_wise2006.pdf
[18:49:50] <halfak>	 They asked the question, "Does someone else editing the article you created demotivate you?"
[18:50:08] <Ironholds>	 aha!
[18:50:10] <halfak>	 The answer is "maybe" due to their meh methods. 
[18:50:12] <ottomata>	 halfak: should I join altiscale sync today?
[18:50:12] <Ironholds>	 that sounds like an interesting question
[18:50:19] <halfak>	 ottomata, I don't think so. 
[18:50:24] <ottomata>	 ok cool
[18:50:27] <Ironholds>	 "are people more likely to contribute to a skeleton or a void?"
[18:50:29] <ottomata>	 lemme know if you ned anytyhing
[18:50:43] <halfak>	 Will do.  Thanks ottomata 
[19:40:11] <halfak>	 YuviPanda, can I get you to approve a consumer for me?
[19:44:30] <YuviPanda>	 halfak: link?
[19:44:56] <halfak>	 YuviPanda, not sure what link would be helpful.  maybe
[19:44:59] <halfak>	 this one: https://www.mediawiki.org/w/index.php?title=Special:OAuthListConsumers/view/7746c2bf5d0d259b912d1ff29960ac20&name=Revision+coder&publisher=&stage=0
[19:45:42] <halfak>	 The only perm I need is "identify" for now. 
[19:45:44] <halfak>	 :) 
[19:45:50] <halfak>	 so, basic rights. 
[19:45:55] <halfak>	 Easy approval I expect. 
[19:46:41] <YuviPanda>	 > OAuth "callback URL": https://ores.wmflabs.org
[19:46:45] <YuviPanda>	 halfak: is that right?
[19:46:58] <halfak>	 Yeah, the docs suggest that I can now specify a callback path. 
[19:47:11] <YuviPanda>	 oh, I see. I wasn’t aware of that :)
[19:47:15] <YuviPanda>	 so you can do that in your request itself
[19:47:16] <YuviPanda>	 nice
[19:47:19] <halfak>	 "Allow consumer to specify a callback in requests and use "callback" URL above as a required prefix"
[19:47:32] <halfak>	 YuviPanda, I'll be testing that in the next few minutes. 
[19:47:35] <halfak>	 :) 
[19:47:40] <YuviPanda>	 cool let me approve
[19:47:44] <halfak>	 <3
[19:48:18] <YuviPanda>	 halfak: done
[19:48:23] <halfak>	 Thanks!
[19:55:40] <halfak>	 Bah!  Looks like JWT went crazy.  I'll need to decipher this first. 
[20:10:47] <halfak>	 JWT fixed. Pull request in progress. 
[20:30:23] <halfak>	 v 0.2.4 of mwoauth has been released.  
[20:33:05] <kaldari>	 Ironholds: I’m late
[20:33:17] <Ironholds>	 kaldari, np! Actually, JamesA is jumping into the specific thread.
[20:50:08] <halfak>	 Bug filed against pylibmc. 
[20:50:14] <halfak>	 That was a deep one
[20:50:42] <Ironholds>	 oh?
[20:58:54] <halfak>	 Yeah.  There was some old code from python 2.5 in there that was making sure that a module named "thread" existed
[20:59:05] <halfak>	 It was deprecated and renamed in 2.6 (2002?)
[20:59:18] <halfak>	 But stuck around until we made the 3.0 jump
[20:59:31] <Ironholds>	 ahhh
[20:59:37] <halfak>	 So, I had to go figure out what this old "thread" module was. 
[20:59:50] <halfak>	 It's now called "threading"
[20:59:56] <halfak>	 -.o.-
[21:00:29] <halfak>	 Best bug report ever though, "It looks like you might have already fixed this problem and simply cutting a new release will share your fix with the world."
[22:19:21] <leila>	 halfak: I removed the link prediction item from research meeting this week as I will be heads down reviewing papers and can't make it.
