jayvdb added a comment to T104109: No syntax highlight for large JavaScript/CSS/Lua/API pages.

@ori created https://people.wikimedia.org/~ori/bad.js as a test case, and 'Python' failed badly (likely Pygments with all of its regexes, but maybe one of its dependencies). That is an Upstream failure. See his comment on https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/#/c/223053/ . But that was two years ago. Perhaps this should be retested, and a bug files Upstream if there still a problem.

This was around the time we were revising the mwparserfromhell build system . We had only finished getting Python 3.4 working, and then another problem arose when testing on Python 3.5.
I can only guess that mwparserfromhell now supports Python 3.5+, but it would be wise to rerun the mwparserfromhell tests periodically, as it doesnt see a lot of PRs so not many eyes on it.

Yup you can mentor it, and I've updated the list.

Is this still a problem?

jayvdb added a comment to T154001: Do a research on the communication tools Zulip and Mattermost, and document the pros and cons of using them.

Another potential research type task is research on IRC bridges / IRC webapps / IRC foo . So that Wikimedia provides newcomers with good information on how to get 'into' IRC with the best tools for their situation.

@srishakatux , do you want to do this again for GCI 2017? Gitter is now open source, Zulip has improved a lot in the last 12 months, and RocketChat was mentioned frequently at the GSOC summit.

jayvdb added a comment to T148121: [GCI easy task] Find and fix syntax errors in translated messages.

IIRC, the "plural" example was more problematic than helpful .
We should use examples of this type of task done in 2016 instead of the plural example.

This task was ok last year, and it is good to keep improving the same template task each year.

jayvdb added a comment to T170356: Evaluation of Zulip as a mentoring tool for Wikimedia outreach programs .

Just a quick anecdote. I used zulip as part of GSOC 2017 mentoring for all the (weekly) meetings which we held, and we also used gitter to communicate occasionally for some of the more technical questions that needed an immediate response to avoid delays in the project. This is because gitter notifications worked better than zulip or IRC at ensuring a rapid response on specific chat rooms, because it also sends an email with any unread messages. OTOH, Zulip was better for scheduled meetings, and discussion threads which spanned large periods of time, and for keeping in contact with the other GSOC people (admins, mentors, students). Both clients were light weight, and low permissions, so it wasnt a huge drama for us to have multiple clients installed. We also both used IRC occasionally also, but not as a mechanism for having a discussion between mentor and mentee.

clicking restore on the last good version takes me to https://www.wikidata.org/w/index.php?title=Q9143779&action=edit&restore=198877769 , and clicking Save also results in Invalid content data for me too.
