* Merging the Wikidata branch (ContentHandler) is
still open, see
<https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=38622>. There has been
no feedback in the last few weeks. Daniel is waiting for input.
Per discussion on the bug, there's an unresolved issue with the code
as stored in Gerrit. Tim tried cloning this, and wasn't able to find
some of the revisions that Daniel referred to. Last week, you
mentioned that Daniel was going to send mail to the list about the
Gerrit stuff, but I don't recall seeing that.
If you can get the code somewhere Tim can review it, he's ready to look at it.

<https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/#/c/14295/>, bug
<https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=38705> about handling
sites. The idea is to migrate from the "interwiki" table to the new
"Sites" facility. RobLa mentioned two weeks ago that Chad seems to be
working in a similar direction, but we haven't seen comments yet. No
discussion is ongoing or any substantial feedback was received here as
well, and it seems somewhat stuck.
I'd strongly suggest starting a separate thread on this mailing list
about this (please change the subject line if you reply to this
message). In short, this is a controversial approach, and is unclear
why you're letting it block your work.
It looks like this page needs an update as well:

One thing that was tacked on the wiki page without mention here or a
bug created was the "Stick to that language" extension. Is that a
hard requirement, or nice to have?
