Wikimedia TODO list

1. Configure the grid software to run more reliably on the hub and nodes
   1. Write packages for the grid software to easily install/update (RPMs for Fedora, DEBs for ubuntu, MSIs for Windows)
   2. Create services for the grid software so that it automatically starts on boot, and can run without a user logged in (where possible)
2. Finish nagios/ganglia configuration on all VMs
3. Add Windows Vista and Windows XP environments
4. Configure Varnish for the prototypes
5. Further flesh out Selenium/Code Review requirements at:
   • http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Selenium
6. Migrate some Calcey Selenium tests to Markus's framework
7. Plan/write code review integration for the framework
8. Look at integrating Continuum
   1. Install VM
   2. Install/configure Continuum
   3. Proxy via varnish
9. OWA:
   1. Create 3 OWA servers
      • 1 host-only network
      • 2 public IPs
   2. Create 1 LVS server
      • w/ public IP
      • Set up with session based load balancing
   3. analytics.tesla.usability.wikimedia.org is wiki w/ squid or varnish frontend
   4. Get varnish config file from cluster
   5. Set up memcache on all OWA and analytics VMs

Personal TODO list

• Add Gadgets extension
  • Make a gadget for next/previous supporter ticket
• Add Semantic Tasks extension
• Add Plotters extension
  • Update extension to create javascript arrays from outputted table
  • Add support for jqPlot
  • Add support for different formats of input to support javascript libraries that may not take tabular data
• Add Smooth Gallery extension
  • Update extension to work with newer versions of MediaWiki
  • Remove tag support, only allow parser function option
  • Update extension to work with newer versions of SmoothGallery
  • Possibly change name, and use nicer jquery based gallery
• Make a Server namespace
• Add ExternalData extension
  • Map speed traps in an area, listed by twitter hashtags
    • For instance, New Orleans should pull #speedtrap #neworleans tweets, and add it to {{#for_external_table:[Has trap at coordinate::{{{traplocation}}}]]}}, or something similar
    • The data pulled should also record timestamps for the tweets, so that we ensure data is fresh. Need SIO or multi-valued properties for this?
    • A query could then map all speed traps for an area, on that area's page
• Create a new gantt chart result format: http://www.jsgantt.com/
• Create an extension to let users sign their revisions using an SSL certificate (like a smart card)
  • Configuration should allow wiki maintainer to require signatures
  • Interface should allow users to selectively sign pages, if wiki maintainer allows it
  • Interface should stop the user from submitting a revision if it isn't signed
    • This should be optional in the user's preferences, unless the wiki maintainer requires it
• Whenever this is released, make an extension from it, and/or integrate it with plotters
• Update breadcrumbs extension from work, and release source
