Bug day: Book tool/Collection/PDF, 2014-10-08, 14–22 UTC[change source]

Hello! Please join us on the next Wikimedia bug day: 2014-10-08, 14:00–22:00 UTC[1] in #wikimedia-tech on IRC.

We will be triaging bug reports for the Collection extension (Book tool) in general and PDF export in particular, which were just switched to a new backend (OCG). We have two immediate goals:

recover 100 % of the relevant reports from the defunct PediaPress tracker;
get a clean list of known PDF issues that the new backend didn't fix.

Everyone is welcome to join any time these weeks, and no technical knowledge is needed! It's an easy way to get involved or to give something back. We encourage you to record your activity on the etherpad. See also:

this information, participants list and more (please sign!);
more information on triaging in general.

I look forward to seeing you there. Please distribute further by email, talk pages etc. (Collection is used on almost 2 thousands wikis!)

Timing out[change source]

It seems like there's a time-out function that wasn't stated anywhere. I started a book, went to lunch, came back to finish it and it was gone. I assumed that since I'm logged in, I could come back to this and resume editing my book. Any guidance about saving books for short or even indefinite periods of time?
