Multimedia

  • SHA-1 patch is ACTUALLY HAPPENING THIS WEEK. Or Gilles will have to answer to ME.
  • UploadWizard was throwing fake stash errors for about two weeks, apparently nobody noticed, it's fixed now.
  • We're shifting away from other projects to seriously focus on UploadWizard now, so...yeah.
  • Also, Commons is using chained thumbnails now, and apparently nothing is broken *knocks on wood* so that will continue being awesome and hopefully faster!
  • We're thinking about bringing OOUI into UW a little bit, but it's not quite ready yet...VE team, watch out, I'll be coming for you soonish.
