   Yesterday, ran FIXME & code review assignment.  Today: followup, may have time to write weekly report for last week.

   Mostly, pushing on 1.18 blockers

   Talked with mutante on IRC re upload speeds.  What's the best way to measure upload speeds? is new SWIFT storagell infrastructure going to change it (make it easier, more transparent)?

   Got SIP!

   Hackathon at WikiCon India 2011 in progress; working together with Sumana, Alolita and the WCI11 team. Aiming for 150 participants, including delegations from 9 or so large tech companies in India. Currently seeking info on what we need.

   Hijacking Mark's bug triage for tomorrow. He's happy with that AFAIK, because he's working hard on 1.18.

   No progress on getting inactive translators back to translating.

   Read over the "MediaWiki history" pages. Nice. WIll give possibilities to contribute some thought.

Idea for triage invite: http://openhatch.org/+projects/MediaWiki - Sumana to walk Siebrand through where to click -> done. Interesting platform. Created a profile and added some bits to the site. They hang out in #openhatch in case you want to talk to the siterunners.
