Parsoid

Services

 * Not a lot of progress on restbase code (QRs)
 * Presented on restbase at metrics:
 * Getting ready for deploy:
 * Met with ops to discuss plans
 * Created a simple Debian package for restbase, puppetization next (likely not using debian package for now)
 * Ops ticket for test hw preparation:
 * Cassandra: Puppetization by Sean Pringle & Andrew Otto? Upgrade to 2.0.10
 * Mathoid deployed & operational; next step: double-check client-side rendering & performance; enable in production as an optional rendering mode
 * Citoid deployment: Roan (still blocked on ops)
 * OCG / PDF rendering: in production, Scott iterating & fixing. Bug day today (2014-10-08). Steady trickle of OTRS feedback.

Ops

 * HHVM now serving 1% of reader traffic
 * Tampa servers are being cleaned out and deracked this week.
 * Waiting for new elasticsearch servers to come in, should be in the week of the 20th sometime
 * https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/ is up! Register an account please!
 * RT->Phabricator migration in progress (both RT and Bugzilla migration are "Day 1" for Phabricator)

Analytics

 * "undefined" pageviews - reporting and fixing webstats collector
 * trying out the Pentaho stack in labs
 * exploring Hadoop Streaming (lets people execute python on streams of data from HDFS)
 * we're here to help with SQL! Do NOT bang your head into your desk

Flow
Nothing much to report,
 * patches to use OOJS, changes to hide/delete/suppress topics
 * still working on Cirrus search in a board
 * cache issues, we occasionally have topics in cache that aren't in DB so we run a purge script.

Editing

 * #142 (Citoid deployment) moved a little bit, still waiting on Alex K. He said he'd work on it today or tomorrow
 * Nothing much going on, breaking things at the regular pace. Probably landing a big scary change on Thursday

Platform

 * #80 - Nik says language should be working on it?
 * Wikidata issues
 * HHVM to anons going well so far
 * SUL work finishing up

Security

 * extension patches announcement today

Mobile apps

 * doing internal refactoring, no cross-team issues expected
 * (though we are interested in better template styling RfC)

Mobile Web

 * Onboarding Sam and RobM (lots of bug fixes)
 * Work on mediawiki-ui standardization
 * Continuing development on WikiGrok
 * Cross-team dependencies against Wikidata
 * Need a new QA environment (beta labs unreliable) (card 147: https://wikimedia.mingle.thoughtworks.com/projects/scrum_of_scrums/cards/147 )
