A grim tour of why investing your community in a startup destined to be bought out is going to lead to disappointment

If you're looking to brush up on Javascript, CSS, or HTML skills and you don't already have an account, CodeSchool is having a free weekend May 25-26th.

I want to take a second and thank the volunteers who helped handle the Support requests about the site access issues earlier today. I really appreciated being able to just go in and approve answers. You all are super awesome!

GO TEAM! *\o/*

dw_maintenance

(For some California local definition of 'morning'!)

About 30 minutes ago one of our databases (sb-db03) locked up and stopped serving traffic. This was an active database, so the site quickly stopped when it could no longer serve requests. Alas.

I have failed us over to a backup database and now everything should be working again.

I'm not sure yet what happened to db03, but am currently investigating and will update this post if I come up with a root cause for the problem. Edit: It's back up and doesn't have any visible problems. Disks are fine, data's intact, etc. The graphs and logs show nothing. We'll have to keep an eye on it and see if it manifests further issues.

Sorry for the trouble, please let me know if you still see any problems!

dw_accessibility

I was process of fixing an inaccessible form, and went to go swipe some CSS from another form -- and realized that other one also had accessibility problems. Whoops.

So now I'm on a mad dash to do some form accessibility remediation. It's a nice easy task which provides a big net win.

Tell me which forms you have accessibility problems with, and I will add them to my list.

The ones on my current list are the poll creator and the form to submit a support request.

At a minimum, tell me which form causes the problems, and I will play with it. Ideally, tell me

which form causes the problems
the nature of the problems
what browser and browser version you are using
what adaptive tech you are using, if any

03:28 < Rainne> if you need a portable espresso machine on your backpacking trip, you have more serious issues than I can help with.
03:29 < Rainne> Because really, any hobby that takes you so far away from a coffee shop or maker as to need a portable version is a Problem Hobby.

dw_dev

Every few months, I run through

changelog compiling a list of who has been contributing patches to our code repository, with the understanding that this is not a competition, or any sort of "high score" list. It's intended as a guide for casual developers, to discern not only our most prolific contributors, but also those who have contributed to the project most recently and therefore would be more likely to provide a timely, informed response to development questions. That is why the list is sorted by "Latest" instead of "Changes".

In general, one commit on Github equals one point in the "Changes" column, but fractional points are awarded for collaborative efforts — the most common example being a new S2 theme, where usually half credit is awarded to the theme author and the other half to the person who converts the theme into a code patch. Due to the nature of development, some changes are massive contributions of new code, and others are tiny tweaks; there is no correlation with the amount of effort involved. We are grateful to everyone who helps to improve Dreamwidth, in ways large or small.

I last compiled this list at the beginning of February, and am redoing it a little ahead of schedule since we have YAPC::NA coming up. Since that time, we have welcomed two new contributors:

shadowspar and

yaysunshine. Congratulations and thank you again!

dw_dev

(Apologies to anyone seeing this twice, I posted it in

dw_dev_training but Mark and D suggested here was probably a better fit!)

So, this is the gigantic project that's been kicking around my head the last few months, because I love our themes but right now, the organization is nooooot there. And I love organization. The full bugzilla listing has all the debates and links and what not, but I'm going to add the summary of UI implementation I ran by Denise below:

( quoted from Bugzilla )

Because the scope of this runs through Perl, MySQL, BML, and Javascript, today I sat down and wrote out a vague work-flow for how looking at themes by category in /customize should run, and how adding themes as an admin should run, so I have an idea of what I need to do.

( very rough, mind you )

I'd really appreciate feedback on if I missed any important stuff, logistics of the UI implementation, and how exactly we should store this information in the databases. Or even on the list of categories I have so far, though there will probably be a bigger, more official RFC when things get far enough.

kaberett posting in

dw_dev_training

I have just pushed what is hopefully the final version of my patch for Bug 5030.

As you can see from comments on that git page, it took quite a lot of editing for me to get it to the final point. This means I ended up running git commit several times (here's the handy wiki doc).

For tidiness' sake,

fu wanted all of the commits in that branch merged into a single commit using git rebase.

So, because I ended up doing this several times (and forgetting in between times how I'd done it), here is Wot I Did:
( Read more... )

That is a thing that I did! And explained really badly. But at least now there is outline for asking further questions/putting it in the wiki?
