erik

  • Big gobs of "show-for" stuff for Support knowledgebase (platform-specific sections of pages). Custom HTML parser to do block/inline inference and work around MediaWiki parser ugliness. Results in simpler syntax for authors.
  • Client-side TOC builder with tolerance of skipped header levels (in case anyone needs one)
  • Lots of code review cycles for other wiki work: media gallery, template formatting, macro expansion, ...
  • Interviewed a web dev
  • Comparing XML trees (attr order) is a pain in tests. Anybody have a canonicalizer for Python?

DjangoCon last week was good. Not many people run at the scale we do (would have been nice to see the Onion show up). Seems like we're going in the right direction and doing pretty well.

  • Django-CSP is ready to go.
  • Got Hudson running kitsune's vendor library. Next is staging. Then prod.
  • Major reviewing.
  • TV series: Rebooted Battlestar Galactica.

ianbicking

  • Release-o-mania
    • WebOb 1.0 (not actually a big release, but I figured what the hell, it's been 1.0ish for a long time)
    • Paste 1.7.4
    • PasteDeploy 1.3.4
    • Tempita 0.5 (my first Python 3 package)
    • webtestrecorder 0.1 (first release)
    • pip 0.8.1
    • virtualenv 1.5
    • WebTest 1.2.2
    • FormEncode 1.2.3
  • I revisited doctest.js and am excited about it (blog post).
  • If anyone wants to proofread this really old blog post I forgot about on the webdev blog, I've started another app in the same pattern (JSON API backend, jQuery frontend) and am enjoying it. Or... maybe I should just hit publish and not worry about it.
  • graphs.mozilla.org CGI decyphering
  • Working with Appetizer group in Labs
  • I've automated a substantial portion of Hudson setup, should anyone be interested in setting up new Hudson servers (sadly Hudson's API is really thin, so it's kind of hacky)
  • A company is forming around cloud hosting, using Silver Lining as one of the components: djangozoom or their less Django-centric alter-ego noderabbit; I'm starting to see a little more community activity around Silver Lining.
  • I just finished The Wire. I am ready to govern Reykjavik!
