@DNdubane_WMF do you need more help from us on this deployment? We published the blog post but I can't remember if we discussed anything beyond that.

Yes, sorry for the delay. Blog post was published on 19 December.

@DNdubane_WMF I'm working on this now and will have a draft to share today.

Hey @DNdubane_WMF I'd be happy to get the draft into Wikimedia Space and help publish it. However, I can't seem to be able to copy/paste from the doc. :)

Heya @NSaad just following up. Do we need to chat about this at all?

I started a rough draft, @elappen-WMF please edit!

I suppose it would inform the community better on our progress than here in this phab task. @elappen-WMF could I borrow your "Building a multilingual Space" headline and write up a part two?

Since we launched the Space prototype in June we've been manually adding links to other language version of blog posts. This is clunky and cumbersome.

we don't hear very often from you.

@Bmueller I can be a scribe for the People and Processes - Magnolia session.

Something that I'm missing here honestly, is the dedication to educate and teach new developers/team members as a core principle, before tossing them into the deep end... This is honestly more of an internal WMF thing to decide on, but work in that area can easily benefit any contributor and I think WMF is rather bad at this area (possibly because of their history of people who 'grew up with the codebase'..

This feature has been added and documented!

Documentation is in a good enough draft for human consumption (and feedback!)

I will let @CKoerner_WMF handle https://space.wmflabs.org (WordPress).

We've been using the plugin for a while now. It works great with the Classic editor, but in the new block editor (Gutenberg) there seems to be a few hiccups.

To help illustrate, the settings are located underneath this circle icon next to the "+ New Topic" navigation.

Hey @Samwilson and others. I've been working on creating a more better description for this task. Something we could workshop and discuss and eventually provide guidance to a contract MediaWiki developer. I hope I'm not stepping on toes and happy to discuss!

I've made an attempt to better describe the requirements for this task.

This is what I see on my iPhone using Safari. Tapping outside the modal doesn't seem to make it close and in landscape its rather large. :)

Resolving as I'm under the impression that we're done. The feature is deployed and feedback has been mostly positive and addressed when possible.

I found a plugin that may work: https://wordpress.org/plugins/ics-calendar/

The message was sent to Village Pumps where it was translated on August 14th.

I actually think this might be my doing. I moved some elements around so that the end of an article (where the author box, metadata, and comments appear) works differently. This may have broken the Comments anchor from Discourse. I'll investigate.

The feature is now available on all Wikipedias. The project page has been updated with a summary.

Another suggestion (adding here so I don't forget)

Some feedback from a someone who recently published a multi-lingual post to Space, "I think it could be improved by generating an automated copy of the original article when starting a translation. Maybe I missed an option, but I had to copy-paste the article's text and re-integrate images by hand. It could have been a lot faster if I just had the translation part to do and not re-do the editorial work. "

I've successfully installed the plugin and have included the use of it in this recent blog post as a test.

After talking to @mcruzWMF I think this plugin will work for our needs. We need to document how to update user bios (by visiting your profile in the blog) @hdothiduc if things still look weird let me know and we can talk about how to best change those settings (in Simple Author or via CSS)

@mcruzWMF and I talked a little about what should go into the template. The questions outlined in the editorial guidelines seem to be a good candidate.

Some more thoughts. Being part of the editorial board could have multiple roles.

For the second question in this task I'm going to start a Discuss thread that talks about the current categories and give folks to suggest other categories. We'll then link this on the blog in the sidebar as "How to suggest new categories".

@JHedden I owe you a lunch. That was it. 🙃

This will have to be done with a template for the block editor. https://developer.wordpress.org/block-editor/developers/block-api/block-templates/

@Whatamidoing-WMF was kind, and smart, enough to point out to me that there are already a few places where "New" has been translated.

It's a process, we're still experimenting and learning. We're eager to have new folks join us. That said the initial inertia to start something has been overcome and progress continues.

I created a new notification in PublishPress. When the content is moved to a new status, for posts, notify authors of the content, Admins, and Editors.

How do you enable the bios for every post? I typically see it on the editor view of a post on WordPress, but now I can't find it.

I think that means the next announcement will be letting all wikis know this opt-in feature is coming. @ovasileva and I are targeting early August for that outreach.

Alright, some updates are due.

@Qgil I'd still very much like to have at least one volunteer community member on the board before considering it constituted. It's on my list to reach out to some more groups directly to see if they are interested.

I just gave it a try and it's looking good Sam. I can even put media in a column, which is great!
