It’s a beautiful day here, for day 3 of Wikimania. I’m sitting outside the cemetery cafe, working on the extsjsonuploader tool: https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T288920

Yesterday I deployed the new thing that creates a JSON file of the same extension.json data, which means a version-checking thing for mwcli will be possible now (e.g. mwcli extensions:outdated --wiki foo to show a list of current and available versions of extensions for any wiki).

I was just wondering why there are lots of old people coming and going from here, but I guess it’s just that it’s Monday morning and most people have work to do. I feel rather blessed to be able to work from wherever I can sit in the shade.

This café is on OpenStreetMap, but there aren’t enough details, so I’ll fix that up in a minute. There’s a huge amount of other mapping to do around here too, but I think that’s going to have to wait for another day. I’ve got a bunch of family graves that I want to get photos of too: https://archives.org.au/H.M._Wilson_Archives_graves#Karrakatta.2C_Perth
