Nothing to mention

2014-07-14

 * Still highly visible issues with unlocalized strings. Nikerabbit identified several problems: https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=67805#c9 - This probably needs more attention by core / deployment devs.
 * FYI, https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=61876#c12 - 7 broken user accounts created on Commons in last two days; legoktm on it.
 * https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=67905 "SqlBagOStuff::set: Flushing an explicit transaction, getting out of sync!" - I have problems to judge its importance/urgency; I've asked Krinkle on that ticket, but welcome to keep an eye on.

2014-07-07

 * https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=67504 might welcome a backport in the SWAT window (or whatever it's called)
 * For https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=67559 I have no idea yet if it's a small problem or will become a big problem

2014-06-30

 * Chromium issue in jquery.ui.autocomplete in https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=67243 - see screenshot - wondering whether to work around in Core and how much impact this has. Trevor and Timo CC'ed.
 * https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=66953 - JobQueueRedis locking up and throwing errors and exceptions, only happening when using Redis on Ubuntu 14.04 with --procs parameter - Aaron to judge.
 * FYI, https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=67270 about missing REL1_23 branches for some extensions.

2014-06-16

2014-06-09

 * recursive Special:RunJobs issue in https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=66225 - Aaron has commented on it

2014-05-26

 * https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=65665#c19 got reopened and is marked as blocking deployment - either removing blocking 38865 or make somebody investigate again?
 * https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=65733#c9 - backporting/SWAT requested
 * https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=65704#c8 - another backport request

2014-05-19

2014-05-12
(in-person meeting at Zurich Hackathon)

2014-05-05

 * On Commons, https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=64883 and https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=64622 are thumbnail issues that currently get some attention and buzz. Aaron is CC'ed and Multimedia was pinged on IRC. Same for UW stash errors like https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=64685 https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=64148
 * https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=64779 - GlobalUsage update script aborts. No idea how important this is or will get, if links on Commons get out of sync over time.
 * https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=56849 - I'd really love to see that "edit conflict" patch getting some review; as this brought up again on https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Village_pump_%28technical%29#Edit_conflicts_not_reported
 * several reports of people getting logged off, latest is https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Village_pump_%28technical%29#Has_duration_of_inactivity_before_automatic_log-off_changed.3F - but no clear details here yet

2014-04-21

 * https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=64093 (search field) has a backport request flag set. Dunno if really important, but it got some coverage in https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Fragen_zur_Wikipedia#Verschlimmbesserung_der_Suchvorschl.C3.A4ge

 * FYI, only Liangent experiencing so far that changing his user prefs on zh.wp gets reverted: https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=64153 - I wonder if it's worth to investigate by somebody.
 * FYI, the REL_1_23 branches for extensions are based on 20131022: https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=64157 (Mark and Markus CC'ed)
 * I've seen several people on de.wp complaining that pages load slowly or don't finish loading in https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Fragen_zur_Wikipedia#Seiten_laden_nicht_zu_Ende but I have not seen anything on en.wp etc so not enough info yet
