[04:19:13] Hello! I have a question about XML revision parsing code; I'd like to turn the revisions XML dump into JSON that I can load into bigquery... each file is about 11GB of XML, which is a bit much for standard XML parsers... does anyone know of existing tools that might help me (beyond core SAX parsing frameworks) [06:18:25] iislucas: you can use something like https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/diffusion/PWBC/browse/master/pywikibot/xmlreader.py ? [14:02:22] legoktm, I'd strongly recommend against directing people to that module. We've had something way better for years. [14:02:55] https://pythonhosted.org/mwxml/ [18:18:32] halfak|Lunch: ah, totally forgot that existed [18:43:08] btw analytics-store is down temporarily; refer to #wikimedia-operations for progress [18:51:22] legoktm, maybe some day we can convince the pywikibot folks to just import and use it :D [20:51:19] o/ J-Mo [20:51:33] I've been looking at bowen's conversations with WikiProject organizers [20:51:47] And it seems that few WikiProjects really have a landing page/space for newcomers. [20:52:10] (What did I just say) [20:52:20] harej, :P I know [20:52:26] As I was looking through it, I was wondering if there should be something like a subject-specific teahouse [20:52:34] really just a Q&A board for newcomers [20:52:38] For each wikiProject [20:52:38] TEAHOUSE AS A PRODUCT lets go [20:52:49] right +1 to that [20:52:59] But in the meantime, Teahouse as a talk page and a few templates? [20:53:12] Anyway, just thinking out loud. [20:53:24] Seems like Women in Red has a lot of people who are tuned in and interested. [20:53:29] Or make it so that the teahouse gadget (or preferably, my new gadget) is something that can be toggled on/off for select pages [20:53:29] WPMED has a bunch of newbie materials [20:53:44] Oh you have a new one? [20:53:49] Any docs/screenshots/demo? [20:53:51] Ask a question on Meta [20:55:11] Which is an adjunct space to the broader Wikimedia Resource Center, also on Meta [20:55:40] huh [20:56:37] A page literally called "Ask a question" :P [20:57:07] https://meta.m.wikimedia.org/wiki/Ask_a_question [20:58:38] cool harej! do you have people who have committed to monitoring the page and providing answers? [20:59:00] My job is to pester other people into responding. [20:59:30] Or answer questions myself.
