[18:10:21] isaacj: do you remember how to set the topic here? [18:10:34] J-Mo: yep, i'll do that now [18:10:43] thank you sir [18:27:14] the research showcase will be starting in about 5 minutes! link to the YouTube stream and the talk abstracts in the chan topic. isaacj will be IRC host today [18:39:47] I'm going to make a showcase bingo card. It's going to have a free box in the center for "presentation explains Wikipedia to Wikipedians" :) [18:40:57] the statistics amaze me every time all the same :) [18:42:37] Ooh. I'm interested in how they deal with the confounding effect of *choosing* to join a WikiProject [18:42:50] Seems like you're already in a weird state before you join the WikiProject. [18:53:28] hey I have a bingo card generator which might help [18:53:46] https://github.com/apergos/bingo [19:01:15] we'll need to hold any outstanding questions until the end of the next presentation [19:01:40] fortunately, Swati says that she thinks her presentation will be nice and short :) so Isaac can still log any questions you might have [19:04:25] \o/ TY apergos [19:04:31] heh [19:04:46] no warrany may eat yor computer for breakfast etc, enjoy, ps I take pull requests [19:08:55] Or can she phone in? [19:09:43] "Research Showcase Land" ^_^ [19:10:32] and we're back! [19:10:38] Hooray! [19:11:20] brendan_campbell: it's hard to hear Swati. Any way we can increase the volume on her end? [19:11:28] Nice work adapting to the situation [19:11:42] Emerauld: ^^ [19:11:44] very gentle adapting. Good job :) [19:12:04] One second [19:12:41] Emerauld: thanks! [19:14:28] Better? [19:15:11] yes - in general it seems to be improved. thanks! [19:16:44] Norwegian is broken! ::looks around for nettrom:: [19:17:28] makes me wonder if wikiproject membership -> more thanks received... [19:24:18] I will ask a question. Did the research look at non-Wikipedia wikis including multilingual wikis? [19:25:17] got it - thanks Pine [19:26:37] Question for Swati: Did you happen to notice whether thank's cluster on similar edits, and whether multiple thanks have an extra large effect? [19:28:56] rephrase: Did you happen to notice whether thank's cluster on the same edits, and whether multiple thanks have an extra large effect? [19:29:14] ahh - just got the question in. thanks effeietsanders [19:29:25] np, tx :) [19:30:27] quite welcome :) we'll see if i'm more likely to volunteer to be IRC host in the future now... [19:33:47] Any Norwegians here? I'm wondering if the translation for 'thank you' has maybe a different connotation, or perhaps there's a technical reason that makes the thanks-button show up different for different groups? [19:34:02] effeietsanders: Nettrom will be the person. [19:35:00] Nice work, folks! [19:35:17] J-Mo, extra good work on MC'ing with the complications. [19:35:32] I'm wondering how much of NOWP's editor population consists of bots and if that is significant for studying the use of thanks on that wiki. [19:36:32] for the population, that should be a tiny percentage, right? Given that we're only talking about the top-5%. Unless the bots start thanking people too, of course... [19:37:25] anyway, good talks, thanks! See you around :) [19:38:24] thanks everyone! see you in 2 months [19:38:35] The discoverability issue is interesting. I'll think about that. [20:18:02] halfak, isaacj, dsaez, @here: anyone else having trouble accessing SWAP in the past few days? I know there was some labs downtime yesterday, and PAWS was down, but I'm unable to ssh into the notebook server this week. worked fine on Saturday. [20:19:07] J-Mo: working fine for me using this bash alias: `alias SWAP="ssh -N notebook1003.eqiad.wmnet -L 8000:127.0.0.1:8000" # then open localhost:8000` [20:22:52] hmmm. yeah, that's the tunnel I'm using isaacj. And it opens. But then it times out when I enter my LDAP credentials and click 'sign in'. I'll do some checking around. Thanks! [20:24:31] yeah, sorry. just tried it on a new browser window too and signed in fine. i'd just say make sure you're using your shell name and wikitech pw
