[16:39:47] brion: do you have a moment? [16:40:26] sure, what's up [16:40:36] hey [16:40:42] since we have trevor and roan online [16:40:54] HI! [16:40:55] i wanted us to discuss the readiness for tomorrow's deployment [16:41:25] do you have any concerns or any outstanding issues you would like us to address? [16:41:57] Trevor and Roan, please chime in if there are things to be discussed [16:42:18] RTL is still broken in some browsers [16:42:25] right [16:42:34] So, any deployment in the immediate future needs to be limited to Left-to-right languages only [16:44:04] :( [16:44:13] well [16:44:19] we're only deploying opt-in right? [16:44:29] I am still working hard on resolving those issues of course. [16:44:33] yes [16:44:33] any reason not to "let it all hang out" and get more people banging on those tests? [16:45:36] Let it all hang out is totally fine, but if we know the navigation is not rendering properly, we could potentially put RTL users in a situation where they are unable to turn the skin off... [16:45:43] That's pretty scary [16:46:08] brion: current compatibility matrix is found here http://usability.wikimedia.org/wiki/Releases/Acai/Compatibility_Matrix [16:46:18] We can still collect feedback about our RTL issues on http://prototype.wikimedia.org/ar.wikipedia.org [16:47:30] TrevorParscal: that's what big warning messages are for ;) [16:47:37] and you can always turn it off with a useskin on the preferences link [16:47:44] (maybe give people a link to bookmark :D) [16:48:12] No RTL navigation support in IE7 is a big draw back IMHO [16:48:29] hmm, ie7 still broken? yeah that kinda sucks [16:48:40] but RTL users who opt-in AND using Vector is very small portion [16:48:53] brion: yeah, I'm working on it [16:48:57] sure, let's block em out from those languages for now. should be easy enough [16:49:12] I had a hack working, but it was a hack, and I'm working on a good way to handle this rather than just hacking it [16:50:24] Do we have a list of RTL languages on hand? [16:52:25] lemme check with cary [16:54:42] TrevorParscal: http://pastebin.com/m6e0637e6 [16:55:26] grep FTW! [16:56:07] :D [16:56:10] now to just interpolate that data with the size of the wikis and monthly access statistics [16:56:28] to get a feel for how many people are left out until I get my RTL solution done [16:56:30] :) [16:57:04] quick answer small portion of ridiculously large amount of people [16:57:12] *TrevorParscal gets back to work [19:20:00] parutron: lunch? [19:20:35] sure - where are you headed? [19:20:51] who knows man [19:20:53] who knows [19:21:44] somewhere faster rather than slower would be rad - mexico au parc? [19:22:03] sure [19:22:05] ok let's go [19:22:18] meet you there in 10 min? [19:22:27] sure [20:41:42] hi there [21:06:47] hiiii Danny_B [21:27:46] brion: shall we tentatively set the time for tomorrow's production deployment? [21:28:01] i want to make sure that we are all available online [21:32:04] all-staff runs 10-12 [21:32:12] afternoon sounds good then :D [21:37:55] sounds good [22:30:21] look! [22:30:22] http://usability.wikimedia.org/wiki/Main_Page [22:31:59] vector is live on the usability wiki!
