Callouts

edit
  • Rel Eng: The Growth team is planning deployments for the newcomer tasks projects and we need to know November black out dates
  • Release Engineering: REMINDER: We're at 1.34.0-wmf.24 this week. The last branch for this release will be wmf.25 on 30 September. Teams who want to ship things for MW 1.34 should land them now. (If you do not mark code as deprecated in the next few days, you have to maintain it for another nine months.)
  • Looking for someone to review a new MW API module (Scoring Platform / Jade)
  • Fundraising emails to English-speaking countries started going out this week - that traffic goes through donate.wikimedia.org (on the main cluster) before it hits payments-wiki (on the fr cluster), so let's nobody break it.
  • Structured Data team need review on a patch for phab:T231855 (probably from CPT)
