Linting
Re "Pre-commit linting checks tailored to MediaWiki QA criteria", linting before uploading is a useful and important feature of Arcanist. However, this is not a blocker for migration, since I think we will need to migrate Jenkins in the interim anyway (and we'll have some kind of server-side linting regardless).

 * Agreed; useful but not blocking feature. Jdforrester (WMF) (talk) 01:45, 6 May 2014 (UTC)

fab.wmflabs.org
I don't see anything about the future of fab.wmflabs.org. There are some important discussions happening there, which should ideally be preserved in the eventual production instance. Legoktm (talk) 22:34, 6 May 2014 (UTC)


 * Well, that's a problem, because when we started using  it was on the understanding that it would be scrubbed out after a short while, and was only for testing functionality… Jdforrester (WMF) (talk) 23:00, 6 May 2014 (UTC)

Bugzilla must be last
It doesn't make any sense to move the largest, longest-serving and most newbie-facing tool first, using innocent users as guinea pigs. It also doesn't make sense to let WMF teams opt out of immediate migration, as this is a WMF operation and the learning cost for ~a handful people is negligible compared to the total cost for thousands. After all, the only thing we really must do without are Mingle and Trello; gerrit has only been used for two years; and RT is a very internal thing with super-technical users who can surely adapt to new software. --Nemo 10:27, 7 May 2014 (UTC)
