I would ask the former interns what do they prefer. Hangouts might sound fancier, but each team will know better whether video conference worked well for them, or whether IRC would be more effective.

Thanks @Glaisher!

Should we continue them? The participation would be more optional than before (if someone misses a meeting is totally fine, no explanations needed), publicly announced, and open to anybody. We should move them to an America-friendly time slot (currently we are meeting at an Euro-Asian friendly time). Good that IRC meetings are easier to schedule. We could paste the logs somewhere.

Special:NewsletterManage seems to have a lot already -http://newsletter-test.wmflabs.org/wiki/Special:ManageNewsletter. we can even have it as a separate section though ( as we have one for Create ). I'm not the design expert here, so lets wait

More tests have been introduced with @TODO tag in https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/#/c/234311/3/tests/db/SubscriptionsTableTest.php

Great ! We had certain discussions regarding this over here https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T107556 - but chose it to be post-GSoC !

@01tonythomas: See the link given in the description.

I think we will have to create separate tasks for Security, Performance and Architectural review, before we hit the cluster ?

@Tinaj1234: Please change the extension details in https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:Newsletter. The side-box still says it dont need DB changes and few things. You will have to add your name to the Author tag too.

@01tonythomas - when you say "built from scratch", does that mean that the old extension code was simply wiped out? Looking at the mediawiki.org page, it doesn't look that way - Siebrand is still listed as the author of the extension.

Thank you! And... done?

We plan to continue the project beyond GSoC, but we will not need the weekly reports anymore.

Can someone briefly explain the goal of this project? From the title and description, it sounds like a project to create a new extension. But instead, this project seems to have modified an existing extension, "Newsletter". Is that the case? If so, did the task change at some point? And what is the goal that was achieved?

I too am ready with GPL 2.0+, and ready for something else like MIT too ( as we have this change in gerrit - https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/#/c/226472/2 ). Once we fix on something, we can get that change amended.

I think you mean the same as T89783: Make topic title a link to the Topic page. If not, please reopen.

Okey - even though we have merged one of the relevant unit test, I dont think we can close this now - as we still can/should have more unit tests. For the scope of GSoC 2015, I will move this to 'Backlog' than 'To be closed at the Earliest'.

Yeah - I was mentioning https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:SwiftMailer

Removed my comment.
I thought they were dropping support for pear/php-mailer

You can start by testing the API https://github.com/wikimedia/mediawiki-extensions-Newsletter/blob/master/includes/ApiNewsletter.php

12:44 <tonythomas> qgil: can you see a short tagline in the echo notif ?
12:44 <qgil> Yes, cool.

It would be great if you could import the repo to Gerrit instead of working off of github.

This should be closed, I guess

A few questions (for both mentors and student):

• Are you confident in completing the project on time?

Of course. Almost all the blockers are resolved as of now, and looking at the open tasks at https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T76199 - its more of the design elements still there. The strictly planned MVP which came as a result of discussions from Lyon and weekly meetings made sure that we have the minimum features ready even before mid-term. This made it easy for @Tinaj1234, as most of the post-mid term works were design stuff. Most features lacked documentation, but @Tinaj1234 was impressive with getting it done.

I tried reproducing the same in various branches like :
$ git checkout origin/wmf/1.26wmf1 - it shows up error message 'Error: LightnCandy class not defined' - as no composer update

Thanks @Qgil for this one. It looks great, but will take a bit long to get done.

Oh oh. I dont think we can close this now, as we got

Removing users is already mentioned in the description of T101832: Managing an existing Newsletter and in T101832#1498191. We can have a task only for this if it makes sense to you.

Note that according to T101832#1498191 there may be more than one owner

If we keep this task, the patch-to-review should mention it.

@siebrand, can you take a look at https://github.com/wikimedia/mediawiki-extensions-Newsletter and notify what all needs to be done ?

If you want it to go out faster, otherwise you can just let it ride the train, right?

Thanks for that one @Aklapper !

So this gets deployed on Agu 11, 2015 ? Should I create a cherry pic and add it to https://wikitech.wikimedia.org/wiki/Deployments ?

This was fixed, and confirmed at https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension_talk:SwiftMailer

I think this can be closed, or maybe after https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T108160 is also done.

@Tinaj1234, please make sure that the newly added publishers too are able to create new issues in https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/#/c/228789/

Currently, you have to enter your UserName into the Special:PasswordReset inputbox, and MW checks if an email address is connected with that account. If not, it will show up an error message there itself.

Yeah ! This task is definitely blocked by T107555.

This should follow something like https://test2.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:AbuseFilter

I think we should only have a single Special Page like Special:Newsletters - and it should have subsections. Special:Newsletterrs/Manage, Special:Newsletters/Create etc - so that we can reduce the number of special page and make it neat.

This might be due to wrong headers like

You might want to use https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:SwiftMailer if you are still finding it difficult to use PEAR mailer.

One reason would be lot of failed deliveries arising from the labs domain making gmail consider *.wmflabs.org as spam.

Oh ! If something like that is available, then of course this one should be dropped

I dont find a 'Create a Collection' button even when I am signed in at https://test2.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Gather/by/01tonythomas

This was fixed in https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/#/c/169326/

I personally find the second one as a better approach as:

Looks like https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/#/c/223951/ is going smooth.

More stats, and it looks like our bounce rates are slowing down

Thanks to @QChris, we got the repo up at https://github.com/wikimedia/mediawiki-extensions-Mailgun
