Summary: Good week with progress on all fronts. (For more information on this report format, read meta:Weekly_Reports.)

What I hope to do this week. (Check next week's report to see how I did.)

Expand MediaWiki technical documentation plan with community feedback gathered over past two weeks.
Draft style guide based on principles and ideas in the draft MediaWiki technical documentation plan
Review and edit all English-language Special:RecentChanges to MediaWiki.org. Ensure that all developer-related info information on mediawiki-api/mediawiki-l/wikitech-l is incorporated into MediaWiki.org
Complete Technical Documentation project page .
Complete Security for developers page – in particular, gather best practices from other docs and devs.

How I did on reaching my objectives for last week:

[DONE] Test ideas from draft MediaWiki technical documentation plan
[DONE] Ad hoc documentation work / community engagement.
- Reviewed all pending changes, moved some info from various mailing lists into the manual.
[DONE] Refactor Security for developers page.
- Draft refactoring of main page at User:Zakgreant/Security for developers. Split Cross-site scripting, Cross-site request forgery, Register globals and SQL injection off into separate pages (that I then cleaned up all except Cross-site scripting.)

I didn't plan for these things, but I still did them.

drafted project page for Technical Documentation activities (in support of WMF Engineering Overview October 2010)
wrote draft blog post on my recent activities - still need to post
