 hexmode | k, I had other problems with replication. I left the replication up but I'm now reading and writing to only the master. | 17:32:34 |
 cicalese | One of the questions has to do with the configuration documented at the bottom of https://www.semantic-mediawiki.org/wiki/Help:$smwgLocalConnectionConf with read and write set to DB_SLAVE. Is that what you are referring to setting to DB_MASTER? | 17:35:17 |
| hexmode | No, I only set up this: https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:$wgDBservers | 17:39:33 |
| hexmode | it seems like the SMW-specific config should not be needed. | 17:39:57 |
| cicalese | So you don't think that following the instructions on that page would have fixed the type of issue you were having. | 17:41:11 |
| hexmode | no, the issues I saw were not SMW issues | 17:41:33 |
| cicalese | gotcha | 17:41:44 |
| hexmode | Also note, this was me working on the percona db, so I would think that was at fault before I began looking at smw | 17:45:26 |
| hexmode | maybe I would come up with smw issues... who knows? | 17:45:40 |
 tgr | huh | 18:48:27 |
| tgr | why would you ever want to write to a slave DB? | 18:48:42 |
| tgr | is the assumption there that they are actually doing multimaster replication? | 18:50:28 |
| hexmode | I wondered the same thing. | 19:02:39 |
| hexmode | cicalese: if they copied that, maybe writing to the slave was the problem? | 19:03:22 |
| cicalese | Yeah, that's the question. Daniel is working with them to try to figure this out. But, the question remains whether anybody has successfully gotten this to work. | 19:05:09 |
| cicalese | Does anybody know if there will be any video/live streaming at SMWCon this week? | 20:22:52 |
| cicalese | jamesmontalvo3 : or anybody else that is using SMW 3.0, for the changes documented at https://www.semantic-mediawiki.org/wiki/Semantic_MediaWiki_3.0.0/Migration_guide, does that mean that you need to remove all of the "?"s in your queries, or is it just that they are not necessary anymore? That is, is there a lot of wikitext cleanup that is necessary when upgrading? | 21:06:46 |
 jamesmontalvo3 | Not for general queries | 21:56:06 |
| jamesmontalvo3 | for template arguments when passing queries into templates and using named args | 21:56:29 |

 thomasoneill | Does anyone know if there is a DL for opportunities for Wikipedians in Residence? | 16:24:17 |
| cicalese | Maybe I need more coffee, but I'm blanking on what you mean by "DL". Maybe there's some useful information linked from https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikimedian_in_residence? | 16:27:49 |
| thomasoneill | DL = Distribution List | 16:28:13 |
| thomasoneill | I was wondering is opportunities are advertised somewhere? i.e. - an org is looking for a WIR. | 16:28:47 |
| cicalese | Not sure, but there is a fair bit of information linked from the URL above. | 16:29:45 |
| thomasoneill | Thanks Cindy! | 16:31:30 |
| cicalese | Sorry I wasn't able to make the meeting since I now have a concurrent meeting. | 16:32:45 |
| thomasoneill | No worries... We had someone on from NIOSH and the question came up about WIR. Have a wonderful week! | 17:25:25 |

| hexmode | Another day, another doller | 14:04:45 |
 sabinemelnicki | Does anybody know of a wikitext syntax validator and/or a highlighter for the Atom editor? | 18:38:16 |
