[Labs-l] Reminder: Today: IRC office hour "Migration from Toolserver to Tool Labs"

Tue Apr 1 12:08:31 UTC 2014

Hi Frank,

thanks for getting in touch and sorry for the office hour not being
compatible with your timezone. I have to admit I planned it for people
somewhere between Moscow and San Francisco. ;)
I'm afraid I'm the wrong person to ask: I am coordinating the
migration process from Toolserver to Tool Labs. I don't know enough
details about Tim's tools to help you though. One thing is *sure*: All
tools involving maps are not yet fully functional in Tool Labs because
the postgresql/postgis parts are just about to get ready. So your
problems can be related to missing features in Tool Labs. I'll know
more about the latest status after tonight's office hour.

You can find a tracking bug for OSM-related missing features here:
https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=58797
The office hour will be logged and published here:
https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/IRC_office_hours

Apart from that, I also recommend the IRC channel #wikimedia-labs on
freenode. There are lots of helpful people around there. (I saw you
already found labs-l.)
Hope this helps you a bit to find more information.

Best, Silke
