[06:21:15] the wiki page said sessions can be proposed up until the last minute, so here I am [06:22:08] https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T334046 - Rust developers user group meetup. Hopefully a roundtable discussion, with participants having basic knowledge in Rust, or a desire to learn Rust. [06:22:45] https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T334047 - Introduction to mwbot-rs (presentation). Learn about the mwbot-rs project, how it is designed to be the fastest MediaWiki bot framework, why manipulating Parsoid HTML is more robust than wikitext and what the missing parts are and how to help. [07:24:50] To everyone who submitted sessions and participated in the voting process for Wikimedia Hackathon 2023, thank you! The organizing team will soon start building an agenda based on the votes received on sessions and will announce it in a couple of weeks. [07:53:51] I thought we had until the 9th to register interest in sessions. Is that still the case, or will you start assembling the schedule earlier than that? (re @srishakatux: To everyone who submitted sessions and participated in the voting process for Wikimedia Hackathon 2023, thank you! The organizin...) [08:43:21] You are right! After confirming with another team member, I've gathered that the voting continues until April 9th. You all are welcome to continue to show interest in attending sessions at the Hackathon. (re @waldyrious: I thought we had until the 9th to register interest in sessions. Is that still the case, or will you start assembling the schedu...) [09:30:55] I did not list myself. I currently know Python, TPW, and JavaScript. (re @jhsoby: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:Wikipedians_by_programming_language [09:30:56] A bit flawed, since users who have been inactive for ...) [09:31:15] I do not think that this list is absolutely reliable. [09:36:07] What I proposed is to conduct Empirical Software Engineering research on Wikipedia and Wikidata. We can analyze the GitHub repositories about Wikipedia and Wikidata and see what are the mainly used programming languages among other interesting insights. [09:38:45] I managed this for our WMF-funded research project. However, I still do not have time to begin it. If someone would like to take this work, I will be honoured to coauthor the research paper with him-her and even pay Open Access for this research paper if published in a highly-referred scholarly journal. [09:42:59] Pinging @trnstlntk and @jhsoby as they can be very interested in this. (re @trnstlntk: Do we have a way of figuring out what programming languages our community of (volunteer) Wikimedia developers master in general?...) [09:43:11] Have a nice day. [09:45:07] no, definitely not – i just suggested it could be used as a very rough indicator of which languages are popular in the movement. I'm not listed there either, and I imagine that applies to most people, especially people who aren't very active in enwiki. But percentage-wise it could be used as an indicator (re @Csisc1994: I do not think that this list is absolutely reliable.) [10:11:45] Toolforge maintenance was scheduled for today at 17 right...? [10:11:46] /me looks at internal server errors 🤔 [10:12:23] no, tomorrow [10:22:31] Of course, it's only Wednesday 😬
