Istanbul, Turkey, May 2–4. https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Wikimedia_Hackathon_2025 [16:41:16] Save the date for the next #wmhack! We’ll be meeting in beautiful Istanbul, Turkey for the Wikimedia Hackathon May 2nd - 4th, 2025: https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Wikimedia_Hackathon_2025 Registration will open on November 12th - mark your calendars! : https://tools-static.wmflabs.org/bridgebot/94b482d8/file_66257.jpg [19:51:35] will there be a Diff post? (re @deb_t: Save the date for the next #wmhack! We’ll be meeting in beautiful Istanbul, Turkey for the Wikimedia Hackathon May 2nd - 4th, 20...) [21:01:15] diff post for the 'save the date' announcement? (re @nerim4n: will there be a Diff post?) [21:07:26] You're right, nevermind, it makes more sense when registration opens (re @deb_t: diff post for the 'save the date' announcement?) [23:04:22] Hello, I’d like to consult your opinion on a matter. As the author, can I request a halt and the deletion of the repository for an extension that has been developed and is awaiting security and performance reviews? [23:10:13] Which request? [23:12:44] All requests related to Adiutor. [23:14:08] Can definitely cancel the requests if you want [23:14:39] Thank you. [23:14:56] So I think it's also okay to post this here: [23:14:57] Open Letter to the Wikimedia Foundation: [23:14:58] I am writing to announce my decision to withdraw all my contributions related to the Adiutor extension in response to the Wikimedia Foundation's approach to volunteer developers. After dedicating nearly two years of effort to developing the Adiutor extension and waiting over a year for an official review, I am disappointed to see a lack of responsiveness and [23:14:58] action from the Found [23:15:00] ation. The consistent delays have been attributed to limited team capacity, yet no steps have been taken to expand resources or to trust and empower volunteer developers to bridge the gap. [23:15:01] I have offered to serve as a volunteer staff member, taking on the necessary responsibilities without compensation, and even suggested formal applications for roles that would support my contributions. Yet, the Foundation's responses have either been noncommittal or entirely dismissive. When attempting to apply for a formal position, I was informed I couldn’t [23:15:01] apply due to my lo [23:15:03] cation, effectively blocking my contribution opportunities despite my willingness. [23:15:04] The Wikimedia Foundation often promotes ideals of diversity, openness, and inclusivity, yet in practice, volunteer contributors who work outside the Foundation’s geographic and structural boundaries are faced with numerous obstacles. For an organization that publicly prides itself on values of inclusion and community, these barriers send a conflicting message, [23:15:04] particularly to l [23:15:06] ong-time contributors like myself, who have devoted over a decade to volunteering. [23:15:07] If the Foundation is willing to disregard the input of someone with over twelve years of volunteer experience, perhaps I have been supporting the wrong organization. Alternatively, it may be that the Foundation is disconnected from the reality faced by its contributors, assuming volunteers will remain supportive regardless of how their efforts are received. [23:15:09] For those of us who contribute to Wikimedia’s mission, this approach is disheartening and unsustainable. I hope the Foundation will reassess its policies and foster a more genuinely inclusive environment that values the contributions of volunteers, not only in word but in action. [23:15:10] Sincerely, [23:15:12] Doğu Abaris [23:18:07] Did you reach out to people who have reviewed extensions? [23:19:06] And specific staff in the foundation that deals with these? (the foundation may not really have anyone reviewing extensions) [23:19:22] I'm really sorry about this experience. (re @doguabaris: So I think it's also okay to post this here: [23:19:22] Open Letter to the Wikimedia Foundation: [23:19:24] I am writing to announce my decision to ...) [23:22:15] Yes, rest assured, I tried every possible way, and there are even Foundation staff who witnessed this. If I hadn’t truly exhausted every option and been absolutely certain, I would never have made such a decision. (re @danieltether: I'm really sorry about this experience.) [23:27:51] But... adiutor is a gadget or a extension? I didn't get it. (re @doguabaris: Yes, rest assured, I tried every possible way, and there are even Foundation staff who witnessed this. If I hadn’t truly exhaust...) [23:28:01] extension [23:29:50] The foundation is so busy with meaningless AI/ML projects that it does not support such wonderful projects. It is truly saddening [23:32:13] https://tools-static.wmflabs.org/bridgebot/eabac416/fire_writing.mp4 [23:38:28] Both. There's a gadget and an extension. They have similar functionality and the same name. (re @albertoleoncio: But... adiutor is a gadget or a extension? I didn't get it.) [23:52:26] I have the impression that creating extensions was something that was commonplace some time ago, but was "disincentivized" in favor of gadgets, modules and external tools on the toolforge. [23:52:27] PS: {{citation needed}} [23:56:08] yes, ongoing maintainance of extensions has been a huge problem recently, hence the not-new but not well documented requirement to have WMF team support for new extensions. It doesn't fix all the unmaintained load-bearing junk that's there, but it stops more soon-to-be-unmaintained code from being piled on top [23:56:21] (recently being the last 5 years)
