Thanks for curating my about MongoDB!
But I was responding to a comment on the original User:Sumanah/Lua_vs_Javascript where I wrote that note, so I feel you've moved it somewhere less useful perhaps?
I was (perhaps clumsily) trying to counter the comment which implied that spidermonkey/V8 could not control their footprint programmatically. Of course, I might be wrong, given that I only have a cursory familiarity with MongoDB internals, and even less knoledge of MW's Lua/JS efforts.
But I am watching developments here with interest.
Hey Sumana, I filed the request as you asked. I see there is a backlog now or something. Can you take a look? Thanks very much in advance!
Hello Sumana, thanks for stopping by and of course for your warm welcome! Btw, when you are available on IRC, can you please poke me? Please /query me directly. Thanks in advance for that! :-)
Many thanks for the invitation to the Berlin Hackathon 2012, Sumana!
Berlin is not far away from me and a friend of mine lives there. My schedule is very busy, but I hope to see you in Berlin this summer.
All the very best.
Thanks! Please keep an eye on our upcoming events: https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/MediaWiki_developer_meetings .
I am posting this on behalf of User:Adethya:
Hi Sumanah, My name is Adethya from Chennai, Tamil Nadu, India.
Please forgive me for editing your user page. I am not good at editing. So I might slip on a few ethics of editing. But the reason I wanted to edit this page, is to let you know that I wanna participate in Berlin Hackathon, 2012. I have no idea about how things work at a Hackathon, but I am deeply interested in getting involved. please let me know if there is still room for scholarships which I will be glad to use for the Hackathon.
You can reach out to me on adethyasjce@gmail.com. Or you can leave your number and I shall call you and discuss.
Thanks in advance, Ade.
I've just had a conversation with Roan about this at #mediawiki on IRC. According to the information he so helpfully provided, there's no workaround to installing git-review; since not having it will greatly lengthen git commands. This leaves the part where one has to install git-review. However, I was wondering if it would be possible to do that without having to install pip and then modifying the system PATH (that's the most annoying part of the process). http://pypi.python.org/pypi/git-review reads For installation from source simply add git-review to your $PATH
However, I don't really know what $PATH is here.
Roan says that even if this method was successful, bypassing pip could mean that some dependencies of git-review may not get installed; resulting in a broken git-review (depending on the python version).
Here's what I think:
Installing pip and then installing git-review through python requires running python commands in cmd and modifying the system PATH manually. If the $PATH being referred to here is in fact the system PATH, this installation could mean:
- right click, save link as, unzip, paste in so-and-so folder
- Modify system PATH
If we have to go about messing with PATH no matter we download pip or not, why bother with one extra download? Just seems a waste of time.
Also, installing pip is annoying. Git/Workflow#Windows gives the order as install pip first and then install the setuptools .exe while http://www.pip-installer.org/en/latest/installing.html#prerequisites says that setuptools is a prerequisite for installing pip.
It would be nice if installation of git-review could be made simpler. Since I'm a noob and have already spent a lot of time in the first install, I daren't try to test the above hypothesis (installing git-review without pip). Maybe you know an experienced user who'd give it a shot? Thanks
Hello Sumana ji, Thanks for the invitation. I really want to attend, but I don't think I can go to Berlin and I have no knowledge. I just copy templates and gadgets to Odia Wiki and modify a bit according to the requirements. I really appreciate your works you have been doing for the MediaWiki developments. Thank You!
ansuman, thank you for your reply.
If you believe that you are not technically skilled enough to find the event useful, then I understand and won't push you to register and attend. :-) But please spend some time using our online learning resources, get as far as you can that way, and then apply for a seat again next year.
I understand that developers in your area don't yet have a critical mass of experienced Wikimedia technology experts. So I suggest that your community should hold some in-person trainings using the documentation that already exists:
- https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/How_to_become_a_MediaWiki_hacker
- https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Category:Tutorials
- http://openhatch.org/missions/
- https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:Pywikipediabot
- https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Help:A_quick_guide_to_templates
and communicating with the larger Wikimedia technical community instantaneously on IRC:
https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/MediaWiki_on_IRC
If you have any trouble finding the materials you need to learn a topic you want to learn, please tell me! It's my job to find or make those materials for you. :-)
Best wishes.
Thank you for the invitation. I am very busy at the moment and will not be able to attend.
Hi, thank you for your invite to the Berlin Hackathon, however it is outside of my field of interests. Regards, Snowolf How can I help? 08:19, 13 April 2012 (UTC)
Hello. SVG and I have been discussing the thread you posted about my mentee on my talk page. Cheers!
Got it! Thanks for the heads-up.
Yeah, I'd just like further comment on what we'd do about contacting his parents if the need occurs, and I mentioned you in one of my comments. Just to give you a heads-up. No problems!
Unfortunately, with him disrupting translatewiki.net, and having used the alternate account BrandonSkyPimenta to disrupt enwiki, I think it's appropriate that something at that stage be done.
And I've now opened a discussion about this kid at meta:Stewards' noticeboard about a possible global ban.
Hi, Sumanah. Thanks for inviting me! Even if I would like to go I'm not very practiced with these stuffs, I'm sure that there are users more exeperienced than me though. Even so, I appreciate your notice. Thank you anyhow!
Thank you for your kind offer.
In 2011, I'm rather involved in projects of both real life and Wikis.
Recovering from New Year's Eve party in 2012 I do volunteer to pay attention to Special:Code/MediaWiki and I already read the Code review guide.
In my experience somebody on code review does something like a formal approval of his colleagues work; is there any membership or formal registration to do?
Greetings,
PerfektesChaos, thanks for your offer! I hope you are enjoying the code review guide, which has recently been rewritten.
As long as you have a mediawiki.org login, you can do nonbinding code review. Since you do not yet have the formal status of code reviewer, you would provide comments and feedback along with the "inspected" and "tested" checkboxes and use the "signoff" button. If you do that for a little while and then ask for coder & code reviewer status, you'll then be given the privilege of being able to change a revision's status from "new" to "ok," "FIXME", "deferred" and so on.
I hope that helps, and I hope you'll be interested in helping review some of our JavaScript code! Thank you!
Also, PerfektesChaos, you can now get Developer access and review code in our Git code repository -- I invite you to check out Git/Workflow and start helping out by reviewing code! Thanks!
Hi
Thanks for the invitation. However, I won't be able to come. But my best wishes are there.
I am from as wiki (as.wikipedia.org), being a computer science teacher, in NIT silchar, I deal with a lot of Indic language speaker students here and would like to share the technical happenings there with my students and hence please forward me what technical discussions happened there.
If possible, I'll find if any of my students working in and near Berlin, and urge them to go there.
Thank you very much for helping me with the outreach, Psneog! And please feel free to join us in IRC or share our technical tutorials (including exercises and videos) with your students. Best wishes!
Hi there Sumanah,
Thank you for the invitation, but I am currently living in Brazil and the logistics would be a bit complicated for me at this time. I'll spread the word at nowiki to see if anyone else want to go.
Hello,
Thank you for the invitation.
I'm indeed deeply interested in Lua and wikidata. If everything goes well IRL, I will participate.
Thank you very much for your kind invitation! Unfortunately, I think the logistics would be infeasible for me to attend, from me not being able to afford the cost of travel to me possibly being on-call that weekend, etc. I hope to be in a place soon where I can accept invitations such as this and become a greater participant in the Wikimedia development community (and brush up on my German!).
Cheers!
