I've been spending much of the last few work days tidying up an update to
our deployed codebase, which has been several weeks behind development for
most components.
I'll want to start deploying this in the morning (Pacific time), so we'll
have most of the day to poke around and fix up any problems on the sites...
it's gonna be fun!
This'll primarily bring a lot of under-the-hood improvements, which'll let
us start rolling out other fun things over the coming days/weeks including:
* Daily updates of interface translations (LocalisationUpdate)
* Updated PDF collection/book UI
* major cleanup of maintenance scripts
* foundation work for improved uploading support
* foundation work for new UI stuff (JS2 / add media wizard / cool stuff
from Usability team)
For those of you poking at the code, I've got the pre-deployment code
currently sitting in the wmf-deployment-work branch; this'll get folded
back over wmf-deployment when we're ready to go.
I believe all custom hacks from the current wmf-deployment branch have
been either copied over or generalized and merged via trunk... Note I've
held back updates on ProofreadPage and OggHandler for the moment, and we
won't deploy the new JS2 code yet until we've shaken things down some more.
If there are any *critical* trunk fixes from the last few days (since
r55160 trunk branch point) that need to be forward-ported before we start,
or any other surprises, let's make sure we know about it soon. :)
