[15:31:28] aharoni: ah :) [15:48:18] jdlrobson, I have an idea: a manual for end-users on how to format content for mobile [15:49:22] we should explain in one place how to create mobile main pages, format templates that look sanely on mobile screens, etc [15:50:32] well, something along those lines would be needed if we are to scrub out all inline styles [15:51:14] unrealistic [15:51:23] also, will be quite slow [15:55:22] I think that I just made my first WikipediaMobile pull request. [16:02:54] [WikipediaMobile] yuvipanda pushed 1 new commit to master: http://git.io/AHi5ew [16:02:54] [WikipediaMobile/master] Added more rtl language codes from MediaWiki's Names.php. - Amir E. Aharoni [16:03:36] aharoni: ^ [16:03:37] thanks :) [16:06:06] yuvipanda, tfinc, hi! [16:06:18] hey aharoni [16:06:44] remember that you did the hackathon in India and brought all the needed stuff on a USB drive to make setting up the environment faster? [16:06:48] tfinc: the iOS device is here :) [16:06:54] ah [16:07:56] I am thinking of doing a hackathon some time soon and I may try to add mobile as a topic there. [16:08:20] So I thought about preparing such a USB drive. Is there a list of things that should be there? [16:08:57] aharoni: hmm, we prepped them last time but IIRC we didn't make a list [16:09:26] yuvipanda: can you make one? it would be useful. [16:10:17] philinje: did you see https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=36017? [16:10:29] aharoni: ah, shall do! [16:10:38] cool, thx. [16:15:08] pchang: did you see https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=36017? [16:15:11] hello [16:16:13] yuvipanda: yes, just going into a meeting [16:16:28] i am think of some basic test above the globe [16:16:57] and a smaller globe [16:17:06] should have something today [16:18:04] philinje: cool :) [16:18:06] MaxSem: yeh I just went for a walk actually and was thinking more about inline styles [16:18:20] I'm thinking even more that they should be scrubbed [16:18:26] unless they are marked in a special way [16:18:44] yuvipanda: do we have time to translate a string? [16:18:51] so my proposal was to educate ppl how to avoid breaking stuff:) [16:19:33] philinje: depends on what string it is. If it is 'wikipedia' we already have it [16:19:37] well the easy stuff to fix is in the stuff in stylesheets [16:19:50] I think only in special cases are inline styles useful [16:19:51] e [16:19:58] e.g. those railway templates [16:20:38] would be interesting to turn them off in the beta and see what breaks [16:21:03] jdlrobson: maybe a bit more space between W and "Type your search'? [16:21:40] yuvipanda: would be a new string [16:22:29] yuvipanda: if there isn't time, we can go with Wikipedia under the globe [16:23:07] philinje: it might still be a bit context-less and confusing [16:23:23] philinje: I'd still want to retain the bottom row of 'actions' that the original comp had [16:24:31] philinje - so my feelings on tweaks are that they are not worth it at this stage (unless they are judged to be extremely important) - I'm very concerned that I wasted many hours tweaking the last mockups and now they have been all thrown away as the user testing deemed them to not be usable. If the purpose of this next demo is to judge whether people can find functionality we should only make those changes to spacing if we believe they will e [16:24:32] the results of the a/b testing. I'm happy to make this one tweak to spacing between the W and type your search but I don't want to spend many more hours again for something we are not going to use... thoughts? [16:24:59] arggh I'm being chucked out of my office space now... [16:25:33] philinje: will be one email! [16:25:36] *on [16:26:53] jdlrobson: ok [16:27:37] yuvipanda: can those strings be translated? [16:28:25] yuvipanda: or just go with the same names as we had before - for example, Random instead of Surprise me [16:28:45] Home instead of Featured [16:28:53] again, if not time for translation [16:29:56] philinje: We don't really have 'Random' functionality in the app, so having Random show up would be pointless [16:31:14] philinje: and I think it's fine to add a bit more strings for translation. We can do another release a bit later with just more translations if they miss the first cut [16:34:10] yuvipanda: maybe Home and Contact at the bottom, but depends on when the new Contact is deployed [16:34:31] ah, +1 to Home and Contact [16:34:54] is Arthur here? [16:35:03] philinje: not yet [16:35:16] philinje: why should it depend on new contact us? [16:35:28] the current one is lame [16:35:35] the new one is great [16:36:10] anyway, we could go with Contact and assume the new page will go live soon [16:36:35] Only one text string needs to be added to the new Contact page [16:37:10] 'Contact us' is already translated [16:38:02] i mean a text string in the Contact page itself [16:40:08] philinje: ah ok [16:42:57] yuvipanda: will file a bug today, but the text is on the talk page of Contact [16:43:58] mobile design/Contact [16:46:06] philinje: would still like a comp of it with the globe icon [16:46:21] ok [16:46:24] philinje: thanks :) [16:47:05] yuvipanda: how is the Mainpage API? [16:47:15] works [16:47:54] +1 [16:47:58] philinje: it's been deployed. [16:48:06] and works. [17:07:16] yuvipanda: Jon had another idea upon launch: use a separate spinner for the page [17:07:41] so main page shows up but the spinner is not the one in the search bar [17:09:13] philinje: a blocking spinner? [17:09:48] philinje: the idea is to let people use search as fast as possible philinje. I'm not sure how opening a separate spinner will help. [17:16:14] greetings all [17:16:20] whatsup tfinc [17:16:22] the current spinner doesn't stop you from searching, i don't think we'd want to stop people :) [17:18:54] brion: yes, the idea is to make it more obvious people can search while the page is downloading [17:19:37] hmm [17:19:49] greetings [17:20:10] hey jon good timeing [17:20:30] jon, was trying to explain your idea about the separate spinner [17:21:21] i.e., you think the spinner in the search bar makes it look like part of search, whereas a spinner for the article would make it more obvious it's about the article [17:22:56] plausible [17:23:19] 2hmm, so a big fat spinner in the content area [17:24:03] tfinc MaxSem what do you reckon about the idea of scrubbing inline styles in the beta - it would give us a safe way to explore the damage [17:24:14] philinje: can you throw in an update for http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Mobile_design/Wikipedia_navigation [17:24:14] i have a theory it won't damage much [17:24:25] I disagree [17:24:38] why MaxSem [17:24:38] tfinc: ok [17:24:38] would that mean we'll have a beta and non-beta api too? [17:24:48] i believe there are only a few niche places inline styles are actually useful [17:24:52] e.g. https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=34711 [17:24:58] useful/essential [17:25:08] most of the time they just make things prettier and slightly more readable [17:26:05] and yes philinje YuviPanda +1 to a big spinner that is separate from search - that is so broken [17:27:59] jdlrobson, try removing inline styles from a complex template [17:28:09] yuvipanda: worth testing [17:28:32] but MaxSem I hazard a guess they will still be readable.. just ugly - which I believe is better than the current situation where things are just not readable [17:28:45] going forward I could imagine style="/*@noscrubs*/border:solid 1px red" which when used protects inline styles for places where it is important [17:28:54] if nothing else it could help us fix inline styles [17:28:59] (in the beta) [17:29:05] and thus in the main site eventually [17:29:34] jdlrobson, believe me about one thing: crowds VPT will eat you alive [17:29:42] *at VPT [17:30:38] but if its in the beta.. we won't get widespread damage - if anything it will provide an easy way for people to fix inline styling issues with their templates on mobile [17:30:56] (without effecting the public global site) [17:31:00] https://en.m.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Baker_Street_tube_station looks like shit, however the dot still points at the right spot on the map [17:31:17] philinje: Still not sure if I'd want to do it for this release - possibly very late? [17:32:47] MaxSem: I've seen examples where it doesn't point to the right place.. there was a bug recently around this.. [17:35:28] i guess what i'm trying to get at is we need to find an easy way for contributors to check templates are mobile safe - and one way I can imagine us doing that is turning them all off in the beta unless they are prefixed with an annotation e.g. /*@mobilesafe*/ and allowing a timeframe during which they can be checked and fixed up [17:35:48] +1 to jdlrobson [17:36:26] i could imagine 1) email community asking them to help us get the website mobile friendly and getting them to opt into beta [17:36:49] explaining that inline styles need to be checked across templates and prefixed where they are vital and verified to work in mobile [17:37:35] (or stuff put into MediaWiki:Common.css) [17:37:40] after say 1/2 months - whatever's needed we turn this on permanently but even during this 2 month time period we will get much more mobile friendly content [17:38:13] it's also rather future proof in that if people add new inline styles but don't check if they are mobile friendly we do not break the content [17:39:37] jdlrobson: lindsey is modifying the buttons [17:40:59] jdlrobson: any chance you could update just one prototype demo3, with new buttons? [17:41:43] jdlrobson: great idea about the templates [17:43:35] YuviPanda|food: the spinner idea is something we could try later in a test, aka beta site [17:54:42] New review: awjrichards; "(no comment)" [mediawiki/extensions/MobileFrontend] (master); V: 1 C: 2; - https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/7177 [17:54:45] Change merged: awjrichards; [mediawiki/extensions/MobileFrontend] (master) - https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/7177 [17:57:01] email sent to wikitech-l [18:18:56] philinje: yes, if you remember the email i sent yesterday, we'll be getting a 'beta' application in google play shortly :) [18:19:38] awjr: http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Wikimedia_Labs/Development_Process tells me that any instance should be able to hookup to a production like db [18:19:49] oo [18:20:11] i'll look closer in a bit, thanks tfic [18:20:14] *tfinc [18:22:13] tfinc: i have the iOS 4.x test device :) [18:24:00] YuviPanda: damn that was fast [18:24:13] does https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:MobileFrontend#action.3Dmobileview look ok?

[18:25:43] tfinc: did you check out the content for the google play beta app description? [18:25:50] tfinc: once we figure that out I'll push it out to market [18:25:53] tfinc: i had been looking at https://ticket.wikimedia.org/otrs/index.pl?Action=AgentTicketZoom&TicketID=6546154&ArticleID=7637255&ZoomExpand=0#7637255 [18:25:55] tfinc: yup! [18:26:01] breifly. looked fine. i'll take another look now [18:26:20] tfinc: my portable wifi thingimangy is causing problems, so I just put my sim in it. Works fine [18:26:25] it's possible that that user was seeing the site when we were having issues after Monday's deployment but before we got them fixed tuesday evening [18:26:37] awjr: possibly. thats why i asked for screenshots [18:26:56] word [18:27:51] YuviPanda: did you any problems signing for it . any customs issues ? [18:27:57] tfinc: none at all [18:28:04] speaking of override... preilly, when it will die? [18:28:08] thats how it should be [18:28:20] indeed [18:29:20] MaxSem: ?

[18:32:10] MaxSem: I'm busy right now [18:32:14] MaxSem: probably tomorrow [18:35:25] YuviPanda: i'm pretty happy with the icon :D [18:35:46] it combines everything that we needed to have there [18:36:29] YuviPanda: i made a tiny text fix and cc'd Phil. If he has no problems with it lets publish it [18:37:20] tfinc: agreed [18:38:44] YuviPanda: prep a blog post about it so that we can raise awareness. MaxSem how goes the API blog post with Yuvi ? [18:39:16] tfinc, working on on-wiki documentation, we have to point people somewhere [18:39:25] great [18:39:51] MaxSem : pull in guillaume if you need any help [18:41:55] this is awesome http://www.disneyresearch.com/research/projects/hci_touche_drp.htm [18:45:11] whoa [18:46:54] tfinc: about the beta? Do we want to make that high visibility? [18:47:23] im particularly impressed by the body sensitivity - "it is not inconceivable that one day, mobile devices will have no screens or buttons, and rely exclusively on the body as the input surface" [18:48:48] awjr: yup, i really like their uses cases. minus the cereal which was dumb [18:48:59] hahah yeah the cereal was really dumb [18:49:13] YuviPanda: do you want keep it to mobile-l for now ?

[21:38:51] it's a proposed spec. [21:39:16] awjr: lame. could you find anyting about a proposed timeline ? [21:39:33] considering that page was last edited in december... [21:39:35] i'll ask ryan [21:39:38] k [21:39:54] i wanted to do our due diligence reading the docs before asking him [21:40:00] but thats all i coudl find [21:40:26] YuviPanda: nice! /me goes to install [21:41:25] anyone have an abusturdly compliced but non popular page on en wiki ? [21:41:35] i want to respond to this tweet [21:42:00] https://twitter.com/#!/ahmattox/status/200701873685139456 [21:43:11] tfinc: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_American_Civil_War_Generals_(Confederate) [21:43:56] tfinc: List of American Civil War Generals (Confederate) ‎[418,775 bytes] [21:44:03] tfinc: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:LongPages [21:45:56] got to love 0.399374961853027 megabyte pages [21:46:10] YuviPanda: all hail not having to uninstall/install just to run the beta [21:46:43] tfinc: the timeline for getting the create-wiki tool done is on the order of months [21:46:51] but is pretty up in the air, atm [21:47:13] so were going to have to import with deep depth levels then until then [21:47:47] YuviPanda: I said, "all hail" [21:48:50] * YuviPanda says 'all hail' in a quiet voice [21:49:10] having IRC clients that don't notify has good/bad things [21:50:58] i'm going to laugh if the beta starts beating other wikipedia apps in the store [21:51:11] ha ha [21:51:14] tfinc pagelink-depth is actually not all that useful - adding templates=true will pick up the necessary templates, but i can't figure out a reasonable way to pick up images [21:51:17] tfinc: that would be hilarious [21:51:34] awjr: auto commons [21:51:38] awjr: why can't images just come from commons ? [21:51:43] as they do in en wiki [21:52:24] uhh YuviPanda [21:52:28] e.g., # InstantCommons allows wiki to use images from http://commons.wikimedia.org [21:52:29] $wgUseInstantCommons = true; [21:52:34] tfinc what is 'auto commons'? [21:52:35] oh [21:52:36] neat [21:52:39] Email Developer => tfinc@wikimedia.org is not the right setting [21:52:40] lemme try that [21:52:40] ;) [21:52:56] YuviPanda: please change that to be mobile-feedback-l@lists.wikimedia.org [21:52:57] mobile-l sent [21:52:58] ah [21:52:59] right [21:53:21] tfinc: been getting mail already? [21:53:35] awjr: i meant that en wiki doesn't store many images. it just pulls them from commons using the remote file repot [21:53:47] changed [21:53:48] tfinc: i'm trying to stop it before i do ;) [21:54:06] talking to yourself is clearly the first step towards making sure you don't get lots of email :) [21:54:28] :D [21:54:52] tfinc: tfinc: i'm trying to stop it before i do <— too meta for me [21:55:28] * YuviPanda submits that to quips [21:56:16] tfinc, YuviPanda have you seen the new user testing videos? [21:56:21] * tfinc wonders how accurate http://yuvi.in/where.html is if yuvi is picking up packages in Chennai [21:56:54] Thehelpfulone: i looked at the new videos that showed new search bar icon placement [21:57:13] not tfinc probably picking up a cached version [21:57:22] tfinc: try again [21:57:24] I've got him at: Location INDIA, ANDHRA PRADESH, HYDERABAD Latitude, Longitude 17.37528, 78.47444 (17°22'31"N 78°28'28"E) [21:57:37] tfinc: ^^ [21:57:37] wrong city, wrong state [21:57:54] i've never even been there! [21:58:09] YuviPanda: are you using your TATA TELESERVICES LTD - TATA INDICOM - CDMA DIVISION usb stick? [21:58:23] I am, indeed, using sais stick [21:58:31] *said [21:58:32] tfinc: ok [21:59:10] hmm, tweeted [22:00:32] YuviPanda: you use irssi? [22:00:56] preilly: yup [22:01:02] YuviPanda: nice [22:01:16] I could set up growl notifications, but I *do* like not having notifications... [22:05:02] YuviPanda: are you near Kendra Bank Rd? [22:05:08] preilly: nope [22:08:39] i still can't get used to these new github icons [22:08:46] tfinc: yeah [22:09:48] * preilly ha ha https://twitter.com/#!/yuvipanda/status/200272118821289984 [22:09:48] preilly: http://g.co/maps/x4q46 is where I live, if you're sending a missile here [22:10:22] preilly: it did yesterday :D I hope it does on friday too, though we don't have jon tomorrow [22:10:35] we should also constitute a formal award for the winner at the end of every standup [22:11:00] YuviPanda: my missile was on the way to 9/21, Old Washermenpet, Chennai 21 [22:12:03] preilly: that numbering is ambigous, it wouldn't know which is the old one and which is the new one [22:12:34] every house has two numbers - an older government started transitioning people to 'new' numbers, then went out of power, so that transition never really happened. So everyone now has two numbers :D [22:14:35] YuviPanda: so if the missile takes out 92, GA Road, Old Washermanpet, Chennai, Tamil Nadu 600021, India I should be covered? [22:15:08] nope, 92 GA road is pretty far off [22:15:09] hmm setting $wgUseInstantCommons = true; on mobile-geo (on w_awjr) does not appear to be having the intended effect [22:15:21] depends on the spread radius of the missile [22:15:31] 30 meters [22:15:37] awjr: what is the URL [22:15:42] YuviPanda: https://twitter.com/#!/billyvinning/status/200710576731729920 ? [22:15:46] preilly: you could alternatively take away my internet and have the sam eeffect of a nuke hitting me on the face [22:16:05] preilly a simple test is here: http://mobile-geo.wmflabs.org/w_awjr/index.php/Blah but what i really want is for the images to work on the san francisco article [22:16:07] YuviPanda: ha ha [22:16:14] tfinc: responding. Not sure what's up [22:17:10] as i understand it, with $wgUseInstantCommons=true; allows you to embed images from commons but as if you were embedding them locally [22:17:38] so if i want to use http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Kiril_Lazarov_06.jpg locall, all i need to do is [[File:Kiril_Lazarov_06.jpg]] [22:17:40] but no worky :( [22:18:03] awjr: what is the instance name? [22:18:31] preilly it's the mobile-geo labs instance [22:19:09] so mobile-enwp [22:19:31] awjr: [[File:Kiril Lazarov 06.jpg|thumb|Kiril Lazarov 06]] [22:20:21] preilly that is the same thing (just with more params) and does not seem to work [22:20:44] btw imy trying this on my own MW checkout (/var/www/w_awjr) [22:32:47] well there goes my day http://wolfenstein.bethsoft.com/ [22:34:13] damn it you had to provide a link. [22:35:30] yes awjr i'm the worst manager ever [22:35:31] :D [22:39:07] hehehe between games like wolfenstein and star craft, im not sure how i ever made it through my pre-college years without flunking out of school. [22:45:06] awjr: http://mobile-geo.wmflabs.org/w_awjr/index.php/File:Kiril_Lazarov_06.jpg [22:45:27] preilly you so fancy [22:45:32] how did you do that? [22:45:48] awjr: file permissions [22:45:56] wow. [22:46:06] on what? [22:46:25] images directory [22:46:32] crikey [22:46:33] thanks [22:47:43] preilly ok so it looks like it's working for that one image, but not others [22:48:24] grr grr http://mobile-geo.wmflabs.org/w/api.php?action=mobileview&page=Example_page§ions=0&prop=text%7Csections&format=jsonfm [22:48:36] hope we didn't deploy this? :D [22:57:41] preilly why would file permissions have any impact on instant commons? [22:59:32] awjr: it stores the file locally [23:00:47] preilly: interesting. ok, well it appears to be wokring only for that one image you linked to earlier, but nothing else [23:05:33] awjr: they all work if they are first in http://mobile-geo.wmflabs.org/w/index.php/File:1968_Ford_F-Series.jpg?dffjfjf [23:05:50] awjr: I think you've got something funky about your instance [23:06:45] http://mobile-geo.wmflabs.org/w/index.php/File:X_6abde0ea.jpg [23:08:29] i'm goign to duck out a bit early today. community meeting for the folks who lost their home in the four alarm fire lastweekend. msg me if you need anythign. i'll be back online later tonight [23:08:41] tfinc: okay [23:08:55] cool tfinc see you laster [23:08:59] later, too [23:09:24] for anyone who didn't catch it http://www.sfgate.com/cgi-bin/article.cgi?f=/n/a/2012/05/06/state/n123459D94.DTL ... a block away from me [23:10:43] awjr: I think your LocalSettings is funky for some reason [23:10:53] awjr: can you create a new one [23:11:13] preilly you're probably right - there also may be weirdness because my instance is using the same db as /w/ [23:13:23] awjr: yeah, that won't work [23:13:30] awjr: it's the DB that is causing the issue [23:13:36] hehehe it *mostly* works [23:13:36] awjr: just clone the db [23:13:57] preilly it'll take a bazillion years [23:14:09] awjr: I'll do it for you [23:14:15] awjr: it won't take me too long [23:14:23] how do you do it so quickly?
