Some of things

This is interesting.

Needs

None of these were addressed.

• Skinning

  Bartosz and Jack have both been working on both the skinning backend as well as individual skins.

• Lack of web-based configuration

  Ryan has been working with Kunal Mehta and others on a new configuration database RFC.

• Spam

  Ryan and Jack have been working on several anti-spam measures, including the SimpleAntiSpam and StopForumSpam extensions, as well as direct outreach to individual wikis to try to help them with their spam

• No built-in help system

  Jack has been working on making a version of the HelpPages extension for multiwiki projects. I don't know what became of that, but spare time only goes so far.

Deliverables (?)

• Maintain two major releases per year

  The releases went out, though not necessarily on time.

• Continuous integration

  Some progress was made with jenkins.

• Work with extension developers

  Haven't seen anything here.

• Start developing lasting relationships with Open Source organisations to improve sustainability

  I'm not even sure what this means.

• Kickstarter fundraising to support implementation of new skinning system

  As much as I don't think this would even fall under Kickstarter's terms of use, the only progress toward a new system that I've seen in the past year was Trevor's RfP. We expect great things from that, but unfortunately it doesn't really do anything for this.

• Begin fostering relationships with large third party wikis

  We run a few large third-party wikis and we haven't seen any of this. Jack has, however, done extensive work with WikiHow and Wikia in the past to get their source released and even upstream some of it.

• Work with vendors such as Microsoft to get funding to improve support for their products

  Support for MSSQL was listed here and it was actually Ryan who added that back into core.
