For background the "AFC  Helper" script is one that assists English Wikipedians reviewing pages in the Articles for Creation queue, which currently is severely backlogged. Any thoughts on the licensing issue, from folks with experience on the question of gadget/userscript licensing? ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Mr. Donald J. Fortier II <technical_13(a)yahoo.com> Date: Wed, Sep 25, 2013 at 8:30 PM Subject: afch licensing question To: "swalling(a)wikimedia.org" <swalling(a)wikimedia.org> Per the discussion on https://github.com/WPAFC/afch/issues/61 one of the previous contributors to the project refuses to agree to relicense AFCH under the MIT license. Right now, the script is licensed under CC-BY-SA/GFDL, as it was originally coded on-wiki (per [[Wikipedia:Copyright]] -- all text-based contributions).  This came about due to some confusion that can be seen https://github.com/WPAFC/afch/issues/60. So, we are unsure as to where to go from here.  If we replace any code contributed to the project by the person that refuses to agree, can we dissolve any requirements to get him to agree?  Is there enough contribution from him to actually worry about it as he hasn't actually written any functions, just converted some stuff from old school JavaScript to jQuery?  Any advice/assistance on this would be appreciated. -- Steven Walling, Product Manager https://wikimediafoundation.org/ ------------------------------ Message: 2 Date: Thu, 26 Sep 2013 10:09:30 +0200 From: Antoine Musso <hashar+wmf(a)free.fr> To: wikitech-l(a)lists.wikimedia.org Subject: Re: [Wikitech-l] Killing 1.XXwmfYY branches -- another idea?

If we want to keep the reference for history purposes, would tagging the tip of it be enough ? If you find yourself struggling to find out the last 2 wmf branches, you can write a tiny script to sort and filter the branches, keeping only the last two. -- Antoine "hashar" Musso ------------------------------ Message: 3 Date: Thu, 26 Sep 2013 10:52:38 +0200 From: Željko Filipin <zfilipin(a)wikimedia.org> To: Wikimedia developers <wikitech-l(a)lists.wikimedia.org> Subject: Re: [Wikitech-l] MediaWiki-Vagrant: new features Message-ID:     <CABfBeAr+=eBUMSTfHEMJrHGVE77rBngryhQeoyPcoxZqDh589A(a)mail.gmail.com> Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 Hi Ori, Is there a reason for having Guest Additions Version 4.1.12 in the VM instead of 4.2? $ vagrant up (...) [default] VM booted and ready for use! [default] The guest additions on this VM do not match the installed version of VirtualBox! In most cases this is fine, but in rare cases it can cause things such as shared folders to not work properly. If you see shared folder errors, please update the guest additions within the virtual machine and reload your VM. Guest Additions Version: 4.1.12 VirtualBox Version: 4.2 [default] Setting hostname... (...) I will file a bug in Bugzilla if that is something you can fix.

(Remember, guest additions run on the guest.) You can update to the latest version by running 'update-guest-additions' in the VM. I'll take the opportunity to remind folks who use Vagrant to send some positive feedback to Canonical. The Vagrant image they provide is part of a beta program they have not yet committed to supporting permanently. Per http://blog.utlemming.org/2013/01/vagrant-cloud-images.html "For those who use Vagrant, your feedback is essential. Please feel free to send feedback via the ubuntu-cloud(a)lists.ubuntu.com mailing list." ------------------------------ _______________________________________________ Wikitech-l mailing list Wikitech-l(a)lists.wikimedia.org https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikitech-l End of Wikitech-l Digest, Vol 122, Issue 65 *******************************************
