[11:19:11] Heya dsaez|OoO - Can we move our meeting later (let's say, 1pm CEST) ? It would be awesome :) [13:13:49] hey joal, I'm on vacation, thought that I've sent the meetint cancellation [13:14:01] *meeting [13:14:25] dsaez|OoO: my apologizes, you did, just didn't notice today - My very bad [13:14:33] dsaez|OoO: Enjoy your time off :) [13:14:41] ;) [16:29:26] o/ [16:45:20] isaacj: o/ [16:45:36] isaacj: shall I assume you will respond to Olga's email? [16:47:35] Hey all, I'm Muhammad Usman. I was interested in "Improve the article recommendation API". I have already talked to bmansurov with respect to this. I have a few questions. Are there any small tasks that can be done in order to understand the project better? Is there some template for the proposal? Currently there are 10 issues on the project board, when can I expect more detailed issues to be handled in the project? Th [16:53:13] muhdusman: welcome! [16:53:52] muhdusman: more tasks are coming, but there's one more student besides you who's interested in this project. I have to split the work between you and them. [16:54:36] muhdusman: for now you have two tasks, and although they seem small, between correctly implementing solutions and shipping the code a lot of time may pass. [16:55:01] muhdusman: That said, I'll be adding more tasks and pinging you as they become available. [16:56:10] Okay, thanks. I'm not entirely clear about the end project though. Could there be some more clarity on the end project so that I can get started with the proposal? [16:59:14] muhdusman: Take a look at https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Research:Technology#APIs_and_systems_in_production [16:59:58] The whole system lives in various codebases, so you'll have to read the different links there. The goal of the project is to improve the existing system. [17:01:05] So basically it's more like an open ended question about how I would improve it? [17:02:22] muhdusman: since tasks are clear and self containing, you could list each task as an improvement. [17:04:20] So that means as a practice I would do a few tasks now and the remaining as the part of project. Am I getting it right? [17:05:09] muhdusman: if you're eager, you could start now, but we can still consider everything you've done as part of the project. [17:06:56] Ah cool, then I would want to start now. Thanks for clearing my doubts. Looking forward to send in a patch soon. [17:08:09] muhdusman: awesome! [17:31:24] leila: sorry didn't get notification for some reason. yes: i can respond to olga's email. i'm going to raise the point that user registration is still missing a task but will make these surveys much easier and more robust [17:40:57] isaacj: sounds good [19:24:14] bmansurov: is there a way to make sure that the survey is showing up as expected on production? for instance, should this URL guarantee a survey: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Book?quicksurvey=external-survey-reader-demographics-en-pilot [19:25:34] isaacj: yes, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Book?quicksurvey=reader-demographics-en-pilot when the survey goes live [19:29:28] bmansurov: great: i'll check on that then. does deployment happen continuously or only at the end of the cycle (that is, in a half hour?) [19:29:54] isaacj: as soon as we deploy and test. I'll let you know. [19:31:07] ahh - so there is a test stage. was wondering about that. thanks! [19:36:36] isaacj: yes, testing is part of the deployment. [20:04:40] isaacj: the survey's been deployed. Unfortunately loading that specific survey isn't working, possibly because of T210613. [20:04:41] T210613: Loading a specific survey doesn't work - https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T210613 [20:04:50] isaacj: we'll have to wait for results to come in. [20:05:09] bmansurov: ok, i'll see if i see any responses [20:05:13] isaacj: this seems to work: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Book?quicksurvey=true [20:05:41] yep! yay!! [23:33:25] isaacj: I had a discussion with the Security team today about data releases we do in Research and how we can define a better process for making a decision to release or not. [23:34:13] isaacj: we decided to pick up one upcoming data release by Research as a sample and go through it together to figure out what kind of updates we have to make to our already existing processes. [23:35:06] isaacj: The most immediate upcoming one will be the competition that you and diego are working on, especially if you want to include country as part of the data release. Do you want to be included in the work meeting where we go over it and write down steps? [23:35:36] leila: yeah, i'd be happy to do that and i think it's probably a pretty good example (same could be said for the surveys). when is the meeting for? [23:36:11] isaacj: great. I'll add you to it. March 13. [23:36:26] isaacj: it seems to work with your schedule, shall I go ahead and add you? [23:37:13] leila: yeah, that'd be great. plenty of time to make sure i have everything worked out so it's a productive meeting [23:37:53] isaacj: excellent. added.
