Amsterdam Hackathon 2013/Workshops

= Workshops = The following workshops will be held during the Amsterdam Hackathon.

Set up your development environment for MediaWiki
Presenter: Sumana Harihareswara, Mark Holmquist, Max Semenik, Jens Ohlig

We’ll explain how to get set up so you can work on code and suggest your improvements to the MediaWiki maintainers -- this will include Git, Gerrit and coverage for Mac, Linux, and Windows.

NOTE: This workshop previously included a tutorial on getting a Vagrant instance set up. Our feeble conference wifi couldn't handle 25 simultaneous attempts to download a 300 megabyte file, and most of the workarounds we tried were insufficient, so we've decided to be more thorough about getting Git set up. If you want to setup Vagrant and are having issues following the instructions on mediawiki.org, you should contact User:MarkTraceur.

Lua in MediaWiki with Scribunto
Presenter: Brad Jorsch

This session will feature a short introduction (with hands-on code examples) to MediaWiki's Scribunto extension—why we created it and how it works—followed by discussion on actually converting those pesky expensive templates to use Lua, and make your wiki faster. The experts will help you take the hurdles you cannot take alone.

Wikibots (pywikipedia and others)
Presenter: Merlijn van Deen, Maarten Dammers

The Python Wikipediabot Framework is a collection of tools that automate work on MediaWiki sites. How can you use pywikipedia to write a simple bot? And how can you help improve pywikipedia and its documentation to help make bots better?

The goal of this workshop is to get you started, by installing and configuring pywikibot and its prerequisites. After explaining the basic principles, we will show three example bots: two wikidata bots and one GLAM bot. After this, there will be time for questions on running and writing bots.
