It was a long weekend filled with hacking anything related to MediaWiki or one of the Wikimedia projects (and sometimes other things, too). The Hackathon events are completely open; we welcome both seasoned and new developers, as well as people working on MediaWiki, tools, pywikibot, gadgets, extensions, templates, etc.

Previous hackathon events were held all over the world, such as in Amsterdam, Netherlands (2013), Pune, India (2012), San Francisco, USA (2012), Mumbai, India (2011), Brighton, UK (2011), New Orleans, USA (2011), Berlin, Germany (2011) and Washington DC, USA (2010).

Venue and Accommodation

The venue and accommodation were both at the same site: Youth Hostel Zürich, Switzerland. All conference rooms were available to us including a nice yard. We have a big main conference hall and three workshop rooms. There is a beer bar in the Foyer of the Youth Hostel.

Accommodation The Youth Hostel Zürich offers accommodation in 4-bed and 2-bed rooms. Workshop Rooms We have all four workshop rooms of the Hostel booked for us. All rooms have Wifi and a projector. Name Usage Seats Comments Room 1 Main Conference Hall 200 theater setup (no tables), adjacent to yard w/ back entrance Room 2 Workshop 20 workshop setup (tables), adjacent to yard w/ back entrance Room 3 Workshop Basement 30 workshop setup (tables), basement w/ side entrance and smoking area Room 4 Workshop Basement 30 workshop setup (tables), basement w/ side entrance and smoking area Power Adapters Swiss mains plug and socket Switzerland uses 230 V / 50 Hz power with Type J sockets / plugs. unearthed Europlugs (Type C) are compatible - other European plugs (such as Schuko) are not as their contacts are thicker than the sockets. The Youth Hostels lends power adapters for many common plug types (for free, just a deposit required which will be given back upon return of the adapter). Schedule See Zürich_Hackathon_2014/Schedule Topics Look on topics we worked on Sprints Regular contributors plus some newcomers hack together with a shared goal. Recommendation engines A lot of regular users end up reading one article on Wikipedia (through Google Search) and other articles which they need as pre-requisites. It would be interesting to have a recommendation engine for Wikipedia, Wikiquotes and Wikisource. Interested persons: Aarti Dwivedi Maximilianklein (add yourself) Production-like Vagrant Our goal is to make a handful of high-priority puppet roles available to MediaWiki-Vagrant to make developer instances of Vagrant closer to a production-like environment. The ultimate idea is to provide a uniform developer-focussed instance to Mediawiki engineers to facilitate better testing of new and existing code, while also making it easy for new engineers to get started hacking on Mediawiki and Mediawiki with minimal friction for bringing new features to production. The first hurdle will be to provide some crucial production services in MediaWiki-Vagrant, which will be our focus for the Hackathon. Possible services to focus on include Varnish SSL MariaDB Memcache/Redis CentralAuth Possibly multiversion support? configure MW and set of apps in a way to mimic production but for performance tweaks (cf https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/#/c/119216/) Prepared XML dump import For more information, view our notes from initial conversations about this project as well as notes from our followup conversation.

Interested persons: Moiz Syed Juliusz Gonera Jared Zimmerman Qgil Sumana Harihareswara Ilario whym - if an API user's perspective is useful. guillom Peter Coombe (talk) Bug report triaging Bug triaging refers to improving the quality of bug reports and enhancement requests in bugzilla.wikimedia.org. The exact triage topic of this sprint remains to be defined (no coding is planned but nobody would stop you either). Which bug reports in which area would you like to take a look at together? Or bring your existing bug reports - we can give them a shot or discuss best practices how to triage them and keep them in good shape! Interested persons: Andre (Bugwrangler) Parent5446 Qgil CSteipp GLAMwiki toolset The GLAMwiki toolset makes it easier for libraries, archives and museums in partnership with Wikimedia Commons to make large contributions of content to Wikimedia Commons. Get to know the tool and help us create a prioritized development roadmap for it. We also need additional developers to help us continue to improve the tool and handle incoming bugs. If you’re interested please come by and ask us how you can get involved. Interested persons: Dan-nl Kelson Chandres Multichill -- At least want to get bugzilla:64843 fixed and maybe more. Rromir MediaWiki 1.23 bugfix sprint We plan to publish another release candidate of MediaWiki 1.23 during the Hackathon. Yet, there are still a few known bugs with this: see bugzilla. The hackaton will be a great chance of bringing a few people together to tackle these issues. Interested persons: Mglaser Mark A. Hershberger Robert Vogel Snuggle l10n & OAuth sprint Snuggle (en:WP:Snuggle) is a late (at least not the earliest) adopter of OAuth and that's a shame. There's also requests to extend support to Portuguese and Italian Wikipedias. In this sprint we'll discuss & design UI changes to support an OAuth handshake with MediaWiki. In parallel, we'll also be extending Snuggle's configuration to support IT and PT wikis. Italian and Portuguese Wikipedians needed to help with localization. Interested persons: Halfak (WMF) Nemo As requested by Gianfranco. :) Will try to get some other Italian join too. (add yourself) Workshops Experts meet novices to share knowledge in hands-on tasks. Integration of Open Government Data in Wikidata and other Wikimedia projects Etherpad There are a lot of open government data evolving with interesting data which can be used for wikimedia projects. For example: The data of polls and referendums, the population of cities and municipalities, the public art in cities (interesting for Wiki Loves Public Art). How can the data of that portals be transfered automatically to the wikimedia projects. For example generating a script on the tool server which checks daily if some numbers have changed. If yes, it transfers the data to wikidata and from there the data is included in the infoboxes of the Wikipedia articles. Or how can the list of public arts or of other objects (ex. fountains) in wikipedia be updated automatically if there is a new object or an object has been removed. As a concrete task we will promote the integration of demographic data from the open data platform ([1]) to wikidata for integrating the data in the specific articles of the districts. Ex. in the german article of the Rathaus District. Interested persons: Micha L. Rieser Marco Sieber Beat Estermann Kelson Oliver Waddell Manuel Schneider Mglaser The RACHEL Project RACHEL (www.rachel.worldpossible.org) is now reaching over one million users worldwide who lack access to reliable internet. The project was a weekend prototype by just a few Cisco employees years ago. Please consider lending your web development, perl skills (dev.worldposible.org), or linux ideas to help us enhance this fantastic product (as seen on BBC, CNN, RaspberryPi.org and much more). Currently, foreign language wikipedia inclusion requires running a second webserver dedicated to wikipedia, an inefficient use of resources in places where these are scarce. Help us integrate foreign language wikipedia without running a second server (biblioteca.worldpossible.org). Interested persons: Jeremy Schwartz <jeremy@worldpossible.org> (add yourself) Wikibase architecture overview An introduction to the Wikibase architecture and components aimed at potential new contributors. Wikibase is the software behind the Wikidata project. In this session you will get a high level overview of the wider wikibase codebase, which functionality can be found where, and how the different parts interact. Novice developers can attend, no special knowledge is required. Interested persons: Jeroen De Dauw Mglaser Robert Vogel Maximilianklein Bruno Perel Ilario MarkAHershberger Multichill Mainly interested in how to keep the Wikibase extension and Pywikibot implementation in sync. Stephan Gambke Micru If it happens on Sat. Addshore Duesentrieb ⇌ Clean Code Full title: Clean Code, and other requirements for contributing to Wikibase This is an introduction to the topic of clean code. It covers basic design principles, effective use of tests, and many general best practices. Want to know how to write code that is easier to maintain? Want to avoid spending so much time in the debugger? Want to write code that reads like well written prose? Want to become more effective at the craft of software development? Then this session is definitely for you. This introduction is broad and covers a lot of ground. While many topics will not be covered in the depth they deserve, references to other material will be provided. The focus on the most common problem points and practical solutions. A lot of the topics that will be covered are part of the contribution guidelines for the Wikibase software. Examples from Wikibase will also be used in places, though this session is by no means Wikibase specific. Interested persons: Jeroen De Dauw Mglaser Swidmann Robert Vogel Tpt Smuggli Stwalkerster MarkAHershberger Stephan Gambke Addshore Mobile walk-in and talk-in Is mobile a mystery to you? Can't get MobileFrontend setup? Don't understand why your favourite desktop features don't work on mobile? Want to know how to work on the latest Wikipedia apps? Do you want to make mobile things and don't know how? Does one of your projects look great on a desktop and terrible on a mobile device? This workshop will be an unstructured session where you can ask all these questions and get some answers. Members of the mobile team will be available to answer your questions and give you hands on help on anything you need.

We'll do a really quick high level look at what Vagrant is and how MediaWiki-Vagrant uses and extends it. Then we'll learn just enough Puppet to understand what "roles" are and how to use them to configure your MediaWiki-Vagrant instance. Participants will then get hands on by creating roles to install and configure extensions used on Commons that are not yet available in MediaWiki-Vagrant.

There are several ways to help including solving and reporting bugs, wrangling bugs, bug triage and areas of developing including support of Wikibase and Wikidata, porting functionality from compat to core, and or network optimization (in order to reduce pressure on WMF servers) Interested persons: Ladsgroup Maximilianklein Multichill I would like to see a session on the future of Pywikibot (like this) but I'm not sure if we have the right people at this hackathon. Maybe we should move that part to the Wikimania hackathon. Antoine "hashar" Musso would like to setup an integration test that runs pywikibot against MediaWiki core master and wmf branches. whym - interested in adding more tests for scripts I use. Jean-Fred (talk) 08:04, 9 May 2014 (UTC) S Page (WMF) would like to help Pywikibot a) not break when it comes across a Flow board and b) eventually be Flow-aware similar to how Pywikibot "knows" about Wikidata pages. See Flow API and the session #Flow for bot and tool developers Translate extension workshop Saturday 13:30 - 15:00 Etherpad: https://etherpad.wikimedia.org/p/wmhack2014_Translate Nikerabbit is there to explain how the Translate extension works. Let's fix your most wanted (or hated) Translate bugs together or work on new features. Possible bigger topics to work on, depending on the interest: Repository management. Translatewiki.net is using a collection of shell scripts to manage all repositories where translations are exported to and imported from. Lack of better repository management is blocking further progress on areas like automation of imports and exports. How will page translation work with Parsoid and VisualEditor. Let's provide more useful statistics about translation activity in nicer format. Translation memory improvements. Translate extension provides an translation editor, support for many different types of content, translation memory, statistics ad lots more. It is also very old and big extension, while also adopting new technologies like composer and CSS grid based interface.

The focus will be on backwards compatibility and testability. The TitleValue RFC will serve as an example. Interested persons: Duesentrieb Robert Vogel Smuggli Working with Historical Monuments Data In this workshop we will look into ways how to work with data concerning historical monuments in the context of Wikipedia/Wikidata. Aspects that could be covered are: Transfer historical monuments data from lists on Wikipedia to Wikidata; Import historical monuments data from third party data sets to Wikidata; Generate monuments lists in Wikipedia based on data stored in Wikidata; Find easy ways to edit monuments lists in Wikidata; Use historical monuments data stored in Wikidata in a mobile web application (How does it work in practice? What are the requirements regarding the data in Wikidata?); Document the workflow and estimate the resources (volunteers, competencies, etc.) needed to include historical maps from Switzerland into the Wikimaps project framework; Use historical maps from Switzerland, prepared by tools provided by the Wikimaps project, in a mobile web application focusing on historical monuments. There are thematic overlaps with the proposed activities regarding the Wikimaps project, historical maps of Zurich, and the integration of open government data in Wikidata (see above). Interested persons: Beat Estermann Metaodi Oliver Waddell Multichill See also d:Wikidata:Cultural heritage task force. Mglaser GuidedTour I'd like to show people how they can write tours for GuidedTour and the enhancements we're working on. Interested persons: Matt Flaschen (add yourself) Meetings Complex questions are discussed in depth until reaching a decision. Future of version control, bug reporting and other developer tools The work continues in Phabricator. The links to the three hangouts we created are also there. Hangout It's been 2 years since we setup the current infrastructure around developer tools with Gerrit and Jenkins. Not everyone's happy and things break more often than we like. Additionally there's been rumblings for years about getting rid of Bugzilla. I think it's high time we have a discussion about what we envision our ideal development environment to be and figure out what it would take to get us there. Are there any tools (hint hint: Phabricator) that can help get us most of the way there?

Bring paper slips with your key id, fingerprint, name & emails, and something to identify yourself (usually a government-issued identification, such as a passport). If you need to make paper slips, you can for example use generators, or print copies of the output of gpg --fingerprint $YOUR_KEY_ID Given the list below, bringing 25 of your paper slips should be plenty and also cover people joining us spontaneously.

Waldir Codrin.B Unclear Proposals that seem to need clarification. Feel free moving them in any of the categories above. Local Wikipedia forks "Semi-autonomous instances of localized Wikipedia". Expand on the work of SOS Children, the Rachel Project to create packaged snapshots of Wikipedia contents that can be deployed on local storage e.g. SD cards in a tablet computer, 3G WiFi router, etc. and on a Raspberry Pi, etc. Ideally there'll be bi-directional updates from the local instance to Wikipedia and from Wikipedia to the local instance - asynchronous synchronization. People using one of these snapshot instances would be able to create new content and revise existing contents. One of the main goals is to help extend the reach locality and relevance of Wikipedia for people throughout the world. I've been doing some work in this area already and will bring hardware, etc. to demo and test our work. There's lots of known-unknowns for this project.
