Long overdue, but I finally added a "thank you" page for all the people who helped out with the development of LibUp over the years: https://libraryupgrader2.wmcloud.org/credits
@chaomodus my first week I think I typoed this command in every way possible until I created a "rp" alias to save myself.

debian installation woes
@Greg in December I spent 3+ hours trying to install Debian and then gave up and had Fedora running in 15 minutes. 🤷♂️

We would like to use this opportunity to let you know that K-9 Mail needs your help.

We're starting a #Wikimedia #Rust developers user group! https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikimedia_Rust_developers_user_group
My announcement to wikitech-l https://lists.wikimedia.org/pipermail/wikitech-l/2021-February/094272.html has more details on our goals so far.
More consequentially my two bots operate on the #Parsoid HTML DOM rather than using wikitext.
https://docs.rs/parsoid/0.5.0-alpha.1/parsoid/index.html
Takes a while to get used to, but it's way more reliable than parsing wikitext by regex or functions that are documented as "Yes, it is horrible in every possible way; but it works." (a real comment)
Now there are 3: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:Wikipedia_bots_with_Rust_source_code_published
I ported two of my bots to use Rust this past week, more to follow!
