Yes if they are Wikimedia related projects.

Hello,

I am an author of the German Wikibooks project Mathe für Nicht-Freaks. We have more or less 20 authors and since we concentrate on articles with high educational quality, we have an elaborated workflow for writing an article. In order to manage our project we currently have an Excel list. However, we noticed that we need better tools. In particular we want to use a Kanban board for managing our project. Phabricator will be ideal for us. Can https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/ also be used by a Wikibooks project (which is not a software project)?

Hi and thanks for your interest! There is no "rule" that Phab is only for software projects so we've also seen conferences etc planned in Phabricator projects. In my humble opinion the (social) question to answer is if everybody involved can agree on using Phab. You don't want to end up coordinating work in two places if you only had one place before creating a Phab project. :)

See Phabricator/Project management for more info what's possible (and what's not).

See Phabricator/Creating and renaming projects how to request the creation of a project.

Thanks @AKlapper (WMF) for your quick response! We already discussed Phabricator in our team and there is a consensus to use it. I'll have a look at the help pages and request the creation of a project in the following days.

I created https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/project/profile/3743/ on request.
