[06:07:55] Niharika, according to your proposal, now i.e. https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T120738 (parent task) should be assigned to the GSoC student https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T129123, right? [06:09:27] (I care about that one because it is a Community Wishlist item, and we should be clear about ownership / progress. [06:09:48] tonythomas, ^^^ [06:14:20] qgil: I think that shoulds be the way ? and we would be creating subtasks of the proposal ! [06:14:45] * tonythomas wonders if I should do it, or comment, and let the student assign over him/herself ? [06:19:20] In previous editions there was a coordination task, where instructions were broadcasted to all students... [06:20:05] I believe it is better to provide instructions and let students do the work... not to save work (chasing students and mentors takes more work than do it yourself most of the times), but to help them get practice. [06:23:28] qgil: true that. let met take a quick look at https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Google_Summer_of_Code/Admins#Bonding_period and check out things [08:22:47] qgil: okey. sending out mass comments to selected proposals, asking them to create the community bonding evaluation and other tasks. Hope it goes well! [08:23:05] Thank you! [08:27:59] qgil: done, but it seems badly formatted :\ https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T130924#2238402 [08:28:15] I copy pasted the same from a phab comment box, and this is what I get [08:28:21] filed https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T133653 [08:30:07] Adding comments by bulk-editing in Phab does not support linebreaks. [08:30:16] I think the problem is that the textfield for batch edit tasks doesn't take new paragraphs. [08:30:23] OK, that [08:30:34] yeah. sad thing [08:38:00] qgil: Sorry, I was in a meeting. Yeah, that's what I had in mind. [08:39:28] qgil: tonythomas: Last time we had a task which instructed students to create their weekly report and bonding period report tasks and I ended up chasing after the students to do that. Half of them didn't add the right blocked tasks or right project etc too. So for evaluation tasks, I made them all myself and that went considerably faster. [08:40:14] The Voice of Experience... [08:40:20] tonythomas: Important: every project needs to be a Phabricator project. With its own board. [08:41:21] Niharika: okey - but take a look at https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T133455#2238326 -- here we already have a 'Thanks' project, which the project can associate to ? [08:43:38] tonythomas: Yeah, we can go with that existing project. [08:44:11] but, there too there is a confusion :D -- will it get associated with pywikibot projcet, or the Thanks project! [08:44:18] tonythomas: And it's fine to let students create their own tasks now that you already told them to. :) In case they don't do it, we can always make tasks for them. [08:44:42] tonythomas: Oh! Making a Pywikibot-Thanks is the right call then because the project doesn't go with either of those two! [08:44:59] Niharika: exactly! can you comment that out there, or should I ? [08:45:06] Sure thing. [08:45:10] I can. [08:48:04] Done. [08:50:54] Niharika: Thank you :) [08:51:17] tonythomas: You're welcome! [08:54:16] qgil: For https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T31923#2238533, it's 104. Hint: Search for the ticket number. ;) [08:57:54] Niharika, er... thank you. I guess I have spent too much time with workboards this morning. :) [08:58:09] 104 has zero votes exactly. :P [08:58:10] qgil: :) I'm updating the task description. [08:58:23] :D [09:34:50] About creation of new Phabricator projects, how it works now it is better that someone with project creation permissions just creates the projects and then comments at https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T103700 [09:34:58] No need to create and discuss tasks for each of them [09:35:22] andre__, or I could help if you don't have the permissions to create projects tonythomas Niharika [09:36:04] Or you could request the permissions, after understanding https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Phabricator/Creating_and_renaming_projects :) [09:38:45] Sounds good to me. Will be way faster. [11:21:59] Niharika: I've added you to the Project-Admins project in Phab so you can create projects now. Please make sure to follow the guidelines and to log created projects in https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T103700 - thanks! (And if you have questions, please ask.) :) [11:57:46] andre__: Okay. Thanks! [12:10:50] qgil: great ! [13:28:28] qgil: Unimportant question: As you wrote on wikitech-l Re "Write the docs" that "There is this event in Prague, and before there is another one in Berlin." I'm wondering which one in Berlin you refer to [13:58:05] tonythomas: there?
