Bug management/Triage/201410

Who: Anyone who is interested in Collection AKA Book tool (but also Offline), including you! No technical knowledge needed, no obligations! It's a nice and easy way to get involved in the community or to give something back. Step by, say hello, and give it a try! :-)  What: Collection/Book/PDF/OCG Bug Day to re-triage or re-discuss old reports and new PDF issues against recent Collection and PDF rendering code.

When: Around 14:00–22 UTC one day between 2014-10-08 and 2014-10-16 (Every Timezone).

Where:  on IRC, progress is updated at: Testing to take place on your favourite wiki or Wikimedia project. Wikieducator can be used to test ePub/ZIM/ODT/DocBook export.
 * BugTriage-Collection, where 80 lost PediaPress reports are listed: they'll be 0 at the end of the day, with all relevant ones tracked in bugzilla;
 * Collection component, where confirmed reports will be filed or updated;
 * old and fresh bugs specific to the PDF format must be filed against OCG.

Process: everyone independently triage the areas of their interest, updating the etherpads and issue tracker; when in doubt on an issue or report, ask and discuss on the IRC channel.

See also How to triage for general information.

How to test PDF

 * Pick a bug and reach the test case to produce a PDF out of it
 * To get the PDF, visit Special:Book, select the new PDF renderer from the dropdown
 * Alternatively, take the direct Special:Book link and replace &writer=rl with &writer=rdf2latex (or other format)
 * Or, add this in m:Special:MyPage/global.js to point the "Download as PDF" link in the sidebar to the new renderer on all wikis:
 * Remember that tables are not supported and check rendering errors in Parsoid first, visiting parsoid-lb.eqiad.wikimedia.org/$WIKI/$PAGE, then report against it any weirdness.
 * Note down the results on the etherpad!

Attendees

 * Nemo (Nemo_bis) (who already "eliminated" half of the 160 lost PediaPress tickets and updated half of the 130 Collection bugs)
 * Andre Klapper (andre__)
 * User:Saper - I already went through most older Extension:Collection bugs in order to split actual extension bugs from the renderer(s) (this is bugzilla:69603). Review of those bugs is availabe in a spreadsheet).
