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

 * only thing that makes me feel concerned is https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=65298 - PDF creation etc seems to be broken completely now on pl.wikisource

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
 * https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=63915 - you are aware: MathJax broken in 1.23wmf22 and master
 * TimedMediaHandler: https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=64152 triggers lots of fatal warnings
 * 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
