Scrum of Scrums

Anything from SoS that we should be aware of?

• Collaboration: Moriel is working on having human-readable names for all Wikimedia wikis available programmatically in all languages. Initially, this will be used for cross-wiki notifications, but it can potentially be used in many other areas. https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T121936
• RE: Shifting the MW train window starting next week to 2000 UTC (noon PST)
• Third week running wmf.10 due to issues deploying session handling changes. Code written in the last few weeks is likely still not deployed due to these issues.
