Talk:Flow/2013-12 Devployment

Comments from Fram
Are you really going through with this? Without history, diffs, basically anything to track posts and edits? This is way premature. I'm glad that you have decided that deploying on enwiki first (even limited and opt-in) was a poor idea, and that deploying here first is a lot better, but even so, there shoul be some mimimum requirements, and the prototype is a very long way removed from these at the moment. Oh, as an aside, can you create "Flow" as a separate topic on bugzilla, just like VE? It is now hidden too far in the bugzilla search box, but it will be one of the most actively used topics once you start going live with this. Fram (talk) 08:42, 29 November 2013 (UTC)
 * Afaik, they always deploy software to the development-centered wikis (testwiki/test2wiki/mediawiki) first. See MediaWiki 1.23/Roadmap for example.
 * The History page code was getting some updates on Wednesday, but the devs didn't finish debugging it before the end of the day, so that should be resolved (and hence visible again) on Monday.
 * Diffs in the history pages - I'll have to check on this, but I think there's code ready to be merged, which adds this function properly.
 * It is already possible to go straight to a bugzilla entry form for a particular component - I've now added links to the main Flow page here and at Enwiki.
 * I know you've made recent comments elsewhere, and I'll pass those, and these, along. Thanks! Quiddity (WMF) (talk) 20:38, 29 November 2013 (UTC)


 * Thanks. The Bugzilla thing: I mean this, the main search page. Under "Product", you can't choose Flow, unlike VisualEditor or some minor entity like QRPedia.
 * As for the "always deploy software to mediawiki first", that may have been true in the past (I haven't checked), but this was communicated rather differently for Flow until very recently, e.g. pages like still indicate a Labs - Labs - Labs - Wikiprojects sequence, without any intermediate MediaWiki stage.
 * I'll check on the other things now. Fram (talk) 10:15, 2 December 2013 (UTC)
 * Monday is still ongoing, so this is not a new report, just a heads-up that at the moment, the history still doesn't work. Fram (talk) 10:17, 2 December 2013 (UTC)
