Hi,
just a quick heads up that the s3 replication lag on
analytics-store.eqiad.wmnet (i.e.: dbstore1002) is currently at
15 hours and still increasing.
I filed RT ticket 8694:
https://rt.wikimedia.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=8694
Best regards,
Christian
P.S.: Since we're seeing slave lag issues daily during the last few
days, they are all caused by different unrelated issues. So it seems
to me that it is an unfortunate coincidence not a general issue.

Hi again Analytics,
I was under the impression that no records are kept of which IPs access
which articles on Wikipedia when no edits are made, but it appears that
such records are in fact kept [1].
Is this proper? This practice appears to be permissible under the Privacy
Policy which states that "We use IP addresses for research and analytics;
to better personalize content, notices, and settings for you; to fight
spam, identity theft, malware, and other kinds of abuse; and to provide
better mobile and other applications."
It is possible that this information is relevant for determining the number
of unique visitors that Wikipedia gets and that this information is always
properly filtered before it gets to the Signpost. However, given recent
discussions which I thought said that Wikipedia was not instrumented to
track unique visitors, I am surprised to learn that this already seems to
be happening and that the situation has been this way for some time, so I
would appreciate clarification.
I want to emphasize that this question is about clarifying the practice of
tracking likely unique visitors by IP. This question is not intended to
start flame wars, get people into trouble, or limit the Signpost's access
to properly filtered information if there has been a determination that
WMF's retention of the raw data is appropriate. There might be appropriate
secondary questions about making sure that access to the raw IP access data
is carefully contained and secured.
Thank you very much,
Pine

Hi,
just a quick heads up that due to database issues, geowiki currently
cannot update daily with new data.
So pages with daily active editor counts like
http://gp.wmflabs.org/graphs/active_editors_totalhttp://gp.wmflabs.org/graphs/enwiki_editor_countshttp://gp.wmflabs.org/graphs/frwiki_editor_countshttp://gp.wmflabs.org/graphs/eowiki_editor_counts
[...]
and the private per country breakdowns at
https://stats.wikimedia.org/geowiki-private/
will not see updates until the issue is resolved.
Older data is not affected by the issue. So data up to May 1st is good
to use (with the usual geowiki caveats).
Best regards,
Christian
P.S.: The root issue is not severe, and I guess it can be fixed in the
next couple of days.

* analytics-store.eqiad.wmnet (i.e.: dbstore1002), and
* s1-analytics-slave (i.e.: db1047)
is currently at 41 hours and quickly increasing.

I was going through our backlog again today, and I noticed a bug about
supporting editing on Windows Phones with IE9 [1]
Yet again, I wondered 'how many of our users are using IE9' as I
wondered if because of this lack of support we are losing out on lots
of potential editors.
What's the easiest way to get this information now? Is it available?

Dear colleagues,
As you may have heard,
https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Grants:IEG/Editor_Interaction_Data_Extracti…
is an individual engagement grant proposal. I am working on this proposal
with volunteer assistance and advice from Aaron Halfaker (WMF), Haitham
Shammaa (WMF), and Fabian Flöck (Karlsruhe Institute of Technology
<https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Karlsruhe_Institute_of_Technology>).
We are still developing this proposal, and plan to have it finalized in the
next few days.
We would greatly appreciate your comments on whether you support or oppose
the general concept of this project, and any suggestions about how to
refine the proposal.
Additionally, we would like to hear from you about which sets of editor
interaction data, and what visualizations of editor interaction data, would
be most relevant to your interests. We intend to prioritize our outputs
with your comments in mind.
Please comment on the proposal talk page. Questions and feedback, both
positive and critical, are helpful to us as the proposers, and also help
the Individual Engagement Grants Committee [1] to assess the proposal.
Regards,
Pine
[1] I am a member of the Individual Engagement Grants Committee. I am
recusing from reviewing proposals in this funding round.
Thanks Rachel. I'm forwarding this invite to other lists.

Hi Everyone,
I'd like to welcome Marcel to the Analytics team. We're super excited to
have someone with Marcel's skills and experience on the team.
In his own words:
Marcel is a Spanish computer science engineer, currently living in Brazil.
He has worked lately with recommender systems and e-commerce analytics at
Chaordic in Brazil. Before that, he worked with natural language processing
at the Autonomous University of Barcelona (UAB) and also with serious games
development at the Poly-technical University of Catalonia (UPC), the same
place he studied his B.S.
He'll be working on Wikimetrics initially, implementing some feature
requests for Grantmaking.
Please join me in welcoming Marcel! He'll be remote, but he's in San
Francisco at the moment, so please stop by Chambers to say hello if you are
in the office.
-Toby
