Work is progressing towards a planned launch of the application on 2013-12-19. The source code has been imported into an internal git repository and is now being managed via gerrit. A bugzilla component has been created under the Wikimedia product to track defects and feature requests. Several changesets are in review to complete the basic functionality of the application and prepare for an internal security review.
