Now that it's been a few months since this summer's Berlin hackathon,
I've closed up the survey and looked at whether we met the goals we'd
set. The answer: mostly. You can read our summary, TODO, and survey
results:
https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Berlin_Hackathon_2012/Retrospective
You can also view the videos of almost all of the tutorials:
https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Category:Hackathon_Berlin_2012
The video that hasn't made it onto Commons yet is the video of Roan &
Timo's Gadgets tutorial, but it is on Vimeo in the WMDE "Berlin
Hackathon 2012" album:
http://vimeo.com/album/2013929
and we're trying to get it onto Commons.
Thanks again to WMDE, Nicole Ebber, Maria Roessler, Daniel Kinzler,
Rachel Farrand, Lydia Pintscher, and everyone who made this event possible.

Hello,
I have just noticed that Jenkins lost its connection to Gerrit for 13
hours this monday. A job was locking the build queue waiting for Gerrit
to reply, I have killed it and Jenkins is now processing the backlog.
cheers,

Alright, just submitted this for review to gerrit:
https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/#/c/8924/
I implemented it as tri-state now. By default 'usecheckboxes' will be true,
not set to a number. This could be changed (would make sense imo) but for
now I didn't want to do this since it could for example affect the default
search namespace user preference in wikis with many search namespaces. I
think the plain multiple select HTML element is not that nice because it is
not very obvious that you can do multiple selects by holding the control
key. There should be some JavaScript ui element replacing this for users
having JS enabled I think before using this as default for huge multiselect
options. I think if all of that were implemented, 15 or 20 would be a good
default value for the option.
Cheers
Daniel
