GENERAL

The IRC meeting this week was cancelled due to budget meeting. All updates were pasted directly.

Update whatever you can in http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Wikimedia_Engineering/2012-13_Goals wheneve you have time. This is guidance for the Fiscal Year July 2012-June 2013 budget, so it makes sure we get paid (and such). ;-)

Education

Software meets key requirements for acceptance review. QA finished first round but doing a second round with Rob Schnautz with more betatesters from the community. Frank and Jeroen worked out preliminary resources for cross browser testing with Chris MacMahon—Rob reports that ad hoc testing shows no issues with the latest browsers on Windows 7. In the meantime, Jeroen is busy with [minor improvements and fixes] before running things for code review (which should be post Git migration).
