You're awesome. I was just reflecting on wikimania and thought of you. I hope you remember me(this is Lucian). In case you're wondering I'm working on wikipedia timeline visualizer that I'm planning to bring to the hackathon in January.

On Tuesday January 15 at 3pm Wikipedians are invited to join a tour of laboratories at in. If you would like to attend please RSVP at. If you have questions feel free to ask on that page or contact me on my talk page or by my office phone at 914.378.2684.
I am still working on that project I wanted to show you. Also, I have not made it to the Museum of the Moving Image and I still want to do that someday. It seems that neither of those things will be done soon - I am going to India for a month starting next week to meet Wikipedians there and in Bangladesh. You are welcome to come to this Consumer Reports thing if you like; it is a long way from Queens. I hope you are well.
It's been more than four weeks, and I still see no comment on my Gerrit project ownership request. Thanks!
Why not sharing your work at the Design mailing list? You can find there all the experts, including the WMF UX designers.
I am new in creating extensions for deployment. So I merely followed Writing an extension for deployment. Thanks for advise.
There is no question that you did the steps as suggested!
Seeing what happened to you (and may have happened to others) it is probably better to have a process not relying on single people. The creation of the Design list is more recent that the note about Howie at that page, and now it's probably just a better destination. Sumana, do you agree? I will also check with the Design list itself so they are aware of this possibility.
Bouron, thank you very much not only for contributing an extension to the MediaWiki community, but also to help us improving our processes.
Hi Sumana, I'm a developer and a Wikipedian (from en.wiki). I want to work with WikipediaMobile but instead using PhoneGap I'm more into conventional Eclipse IDE. So, where can I get code?
Hi, please have a look at meta:Mobile_Projects/Contribute. There you can find links to the mobile apps source code, open bugs and other interesting information.
PhoneGap and Eclipse are orthogonal - see e.g. Getting started with PhoneGap in Eclipse for Android. As long as you are familiar with Javascript you are good to go.
The next steps for getting involved is joining #wikimedia-mobileconnect IRC channel and mobile-l mailing list. There you can find the other mobile developers and get further advice from them.
Thanks Qgil. I appreciate your taking the time to help. However, I figured it out by myself but other links you have provided are really helping. I guess I have to revise JavaScript as I'm mainly a Java programmer. I'm also a white box tester (usually work with JUNIT), how can I get involved?
The only MediaWiki corners I'm aware of where Java is used are:
- the Wikipedia app for Nokia Series40 (but the development is quite outsourced and even if open I wonder how easy is for external contributors to get in).
- the Lucene search library. fwiw we have an open full time position related to this. Interested? :) Otherwise feel free forwarding to your colleagues.
You could help us get Gerrit, our source code review system, more in line with our needs -- the list of open Gerrit issues upstream and our open Git/Gerrit bugs in Bugzilla would be good places to start. In our 24/7 chat channel, you can get more interactive suggestions!
Sumanah, thanks' a lot for your interest (wp:en:User_talk:Yug#Mappers: software needs). The map and illustatrive sides of articles should indeed move to a more professional approach with comprehensive guidelines and sustainable, updatable allowed by centralized cloud technologies such as google-map. I'm currently finishing my master thesis of Chinese teaching, I will make a push and proposals to the WMF this summer. Best regards, Yug 10:12, 17 June 2012 (UTC)
Hi Sumanah! I have requested for Developer_access. Could you please process the request...
Hi sumanah !
Several contributors in the French Wikisource are very interested by Scribunto extension and one, Rical have already written a module. Can fr.wikisource be one of the first wikis to use Scribunto extension ? We have talk about this idea on our Scriptorium (Wikisource's Village Pump) and most of people there are impatient to use it. If it happen we would be happy to share our experience about this extension in order to help other wikis to use it.
Tpt, thanks for the note! That's pretty exciting. I think the meta page for requesting "shell" changes is a reasonable guide to filing a bug about this in Bugzilla (you may already know about that - sorry for redundancy). Once you file that bug, please cc me, Tim Starling, Sam Reed, Victor Vasiliev, and Rob Lanphier, and send a note to wikitech-l as well.
Thanks!
Hello Sumanah, I am the author of DPL (third party). Two years ago I published a stable release which somebody put into the SVN for me. Recently I published DPL 2.0 (which solves some major issues that had been open for a long time) and bawolff was so kind to check in the sources for me into SVN. I made my changes based on the last version which I had published (2 years ago). Now some changes have to be re-merged which have been made to DPL in SVN in the meantime by various people. Two years ago I had been applying for SVN access and finally it was granted. But by then I did not have time to spend any resources on the DPL project so I never used the account and lost my account data. Can you help me to regain access (I can be reached via gero.scholz(at)gmx.de). Algorithmix (talk) 05:00, 21 August 2012 (UTC)
Hi, Algorithmix! Could you follow the directions at https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Developer_access/Subversion#Updating.2Freplacing_your_SSH_key and send a note to commit-access-requests@wikimedia.org ? That way we can get your access back. Thanks!
Hello Sumana!!
Thanks for granting lab access to me that fast!! You used "Drtrigon" in order to create my account, this results for me in having 3 different nicks now. We should use either "drtrigon" for lower-case only and "DrTrigon" (with capital "T") else. Is it possible to rename (or if simpler delete and re-create) my account? That would be nice. Thanks and greetings
Sorry for this late response but by the time I got the email it was impossible for me to leave Greece. I hope I get invited in future Hackathon's. -- Magioladitis (talk) 20:27, 12 July 2012 (UTC)
You are hereby invited to our future hackathons! Keep an eye on the wikitech-l and wikitech-announce mailing lists and on the MediaWiki developer meetings page, and on @MediaWikiMeet !
Is someone abusing your identity on Developer access?
Hey Sumana. I saw lots of requests on Developer access approved with your name by IP addresses. The IP addresses' notes were always: 
Done - do https://labsconsole.wikimedia.org/wiki/Help:Access#Initial_log_in_and_password_change - Sumana
Could you please confirm that you made those edits?
Hi Sumana,
As per discussion, Snaper said ...So forget about "branching gets much easier" part as far as Gerrit is concerned Gerrit project administrator can create Gerrit branches in the repository. ... I could not find any notion of a Gerrit project administrator on the Git page, so it would be helpful to know who is a Gerrit project administrator and how to get in contact with them.
On a further note maybe it should be considered to make branching easier for anything that is not mw.core since extensions don't really have to rely on whatever policy is necessary to keep mw.core afloat. Thanks
MWJames, thanks for your note. I don't control the branching policy, so do you mind if I move this discussion to the Git talk page? Also, you may find Git/Gerrit project ownership and https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/#/admin/groups/ useful.
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.
Hmm, I see someone else removed it from where I had pasted it; that's unfortunate. May I suggest the Lua vs. JS talk page for you to re-paste it?
Thanks! And please do continue to chat with us.
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
