| − | + | The job queue is currently at about 11 or 12 jobs, but it looks like the | |
| − | + | changes for MPL licenses did not go through. i tried editing and saving | |
| − | + | one of the MPL license pages and editing and saving template:license, | |

| + | Some ideas we have discussed is that we might have some sort of scoring system, so that more experienced individuals who check a license have more "points" than people less experienced. Let's say we have three tiers: level-1, level-2, level-3; with level-1 being the most experienced. A check by a level-1 person might be worth 15 points, a level-2 might be worth 10 points, and a check by a level-3 person might be worth 5 points. It might be that a license is properly "checked" if it has a score of at least 25 points. To coordinate this work we might consider using an extension such as [https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:Semantic_Tasks Semantic Tasks]. | ||

Right now we have an issue where packages that aren't quite ready to be added to the Directory languish in unapproved revs. The packages don't need review; they need ongoing help to fix freedom issues. We want to keep these pages not listed in the Directory, but move them to like an Archive listing, where people can continue to file bugs and work with maintainers to fix the problems.

| + | EDT (16:00 to 19:00 UTC) to help improve the Free Software Directory | ||
| + | this week by helping to promote it. | ||
| + | |||
| + | Help improve the Free Software Directory by adding new entries and | ||
| + | updating existing ones. Every Friday we meet on IRC in the #fsf channel | ||
| + | on irc.freenode.org. | ||
| + | |||
| + | Tens of thousands of people visit directory.fsf.org each month to | ||
| + | discover free software. Each entry in the Directory contains a wealth of | ||
| + | useful information, from basic category and descriptions, to providing | ||
| + | detailed info about version control, IRC channels, documentation, and | ||
| + | licensing info that has been carefully checked by FSF staff and trained | ||
| + | volunteers. | ||
| + | |||
| + | When a user comes to the Directory, they know that everything in it is | ||
| + | free software, has only free dependencies, and runs on a free OS. With | ||
| + | over 16,000 entries, it is a massive repository of information about | ||
| + | free software. | ||
| + | |||
| + | While the Directory has been and continues to be a great resource to the | ||
| + | world for many years now, it has the potential to be a resource of even | ||
| + | greater value. But it needs your help! And since it's a MediaWiki | ||
| + | instance, it's easy for anyone to edit and contribute to the Directory. | ||
| + | |||
| + | A few weeks back we launched a new Project Team to create a logo that | ||
| + | packages can use to show off that they are included in the Directory. | ||
| + | But at this time, we still haven't found a team captain for the project. | ||
| + | This project could really help promote the Directory, as well as helping | ||
| + | packages to demonstrate that they care about software freedom. This | ||
| + | week, we'll be working to recruit a team captain, as well as trying to | ||
| + | get the project off the ground. | ||
| + | |||
| + | If you are eager to help, and you can't wait or are simply unable to | ||
| + | make it onto IRC on Friday, our participation guide will provide you | ||
| + | with all the information you need to get started on helping the | ||
| + | Directory today! There are also weekly Directory Meeting pages that | ||

- That will require a free SaaSS (like https://webchat.freenode.net/) but we don't recommend third-party SaaSS in general, however I think this would be ok if the FSF should embed a web-based IRC widget into something like irc://webchat.fsf.org/fsf (for the Directory) and irc://webchat.fsf.org/libreplanet (for Libre Planet). However, the listed web-based IRC clients are not compatible with LibreJS, that must be fixed first. The authors of these programs accept patches, perhaps the FSF can evaluate which client the want to use and patch it?

- On second thought we should use a dedicated module, so we can enlist the translations on the left user bar. --LorenzoAncora (talk) 15:01, 15 May 2020 (EDT)

- (20:43:02) David_Hedlund: But it's still a unofficial release. I think we should discuss this policy.

- Hi Felipe, please could you extend this issue by adding a link to a video/GIF which shows the steps to reproduce the bug in a popular web browser? --LorenzoAncora (talk) 08:29, 5 May 2020 (EDT)
- We won't abandon the existing table layout, however there is no reason for not making it adaptive, as HTML tables can be stylized like any other element and are still fully supported.
I believe we should add a CSS fix for small-screen/mobile devices. Feel free to propose (a tested) one during the next FSD meetings. --LorenzoAncora (talk) 08:29, 5 May 2020 (EDT)
- I do not agree with pt. 1 to 4 but I agree with pt. 5 and 6, at the following conditions:
sumshould be replaced withSHA or MD5and "Test Entry" should be smaller and placed in the top-right angle of the form and not keyboard selectable. --LorenzoAncora (talk) 08:29, 5 May 2020 (EDT)
- This does not seem the best solution, how about adding a clarification near the copyright widget? --LorenzoAncora (talk) 08:29, 5 May 2020 (EDT)
- I agree only with pt. 1 and 4. We can do pt. 4 directly during the next meeting, but for pt. 1 we should take into account the DB. --LorenzoAncora (talk) 08:29, 5 May 2020 (EDT)
- This issue was already solved in your absence during the latest FSD meeting (May the 1st) by fixing the existing CSS to guarantee correct alignment and subdivision. For now it would not be wise to change the UX so much, but I suggest to keep your tip here for the future. --LorenzoAncora (talk) 08:29, 5 May 2020 (EDT)
- I fully agree and I believe all should be bounded by well defined rules.
Having such systems and workflows in place is fundamental. If necessary, I am also willing to mentor during meetings. --LorenzoAncora (talk) 14:45, 31 January 2020 (EST)

Server-side issues for the FSF Staff
Some work, like modifying the source files of MediaWiki, cannot be done by MediaWiki users themselves. We gather such tasks here so the FSF staff can help us fix them.

- I cannot use the tool
mw.loader.load('//meta.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?title=User:Hedonil/XTools/XTools.js&action=raw&ctype=text/javascript');in my User:David_Hedlund/common.js. - Hotcat is also pretty interesting:
This code is MW version safe. It should run on any MediaWiki installation >= MW 1.15. Note that HotCat is supposed to run with or without jQuery, and also on older installations that do not yet have window.mw.- https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/MediaWiki:Gadget-HotCat.js
- Suggested solution: I think SMW can evaluate unapproved/uncategorized entries. However, https://directory.fsf.org/wiki/Special:UncategorizedPages (and other #Special pages) are empty. --David Hedlund (talk) 15:39, 16 March 2018 (EDT)
