Roadmap/2010

This page is outdated and probably of no current use at all.

Past

This week

• Urgent:

 -  Done Siebrand is unable export core-1.15 or core-1.16 before release
 -  hopefully Bad bug in page translation: re?marking page for translation changes
   unrelated pages replacing content with random translations. Observed at
   KDE UserBase.

•  Done This roadmap
•  Done Start docs (see Roadmap/Documentation)

 - What to write in which order
 - See what there is and how to incorporate those

• Research and start working on non-message translations problems:

 - exporting is too slow or not working at all (roberthl has worked on this)
 - bugzilla:21787: magic words localisation does not support 2 extensions with
   the same magic word
 not started

•  Done partly Review Special:Translate/manage (workflow/architecture/design)

 was discussed some, but no concrete steps what to do next yet

August (part-time job)

•  Done Continue documentation
• Issues related to Page translation

 - Finish page moving
 Restore BC with 1.16, more testing
 - Implement page deletion and unmarking
 - Figure out what to do with broken page layouts when using outdated
   translations (non-issue?, documentation or have a admin decide behaviour)

• Brainstorm for Special:ImportTranslations and start implementing

 - It is too slow, imports only 25-40 messages in one page load
 - Broken if main cache is not a proper cache
 Not started

• Implement the changes to Special:Translate/manage

 Under work

Current

September

•  Code documentation good enough Continue improving documentation
• Improving Message Group Management page

Small improvements.

• Page translation issues

Many issues still.

Future

November - December (univ. studies)

• Ariel: Translation review and workflow in testing
• Documentation in good shape
• Finish fixing Special:ImportTranslations
• Finish fixing Special:Translate/manage if not already
• Fix and improve caching of completion percentages (backend)

 - Invalidate where needed
 - Is the architecture ok?
 - Message Groups using page in MediaWiki-namespace for message listing need
   special handling.

• Caching of messages in MediaWiki namespace is too slow

 Done Our InnoDB cache was enormously small and has been enlarged greatly (from 8M to 1200M). Performance issue gone. In addition adaptive caching was implemented and put into use.
