First, I'm impressed. I'm happy with the amount of energy that has been
focused on getting MediaWiki ready for a 1.17 release.
Since my post on Friday night, we've managed to fix a fair number of
blockers this weekend. Since I'd like to give the people who helped
close these bugs credit, I've identified them here. If you feel you
should (or should not) be recognized, I apologize for my error.

Thank you all for all of your help in getting these 16 bugs closed. I'd
also like to point to Paul Copperman's contribution of his (yet another)
JS minifier that he ported to PHP in an effort to solve the bug that was
at the top of the list:
27528 JS minification still outputs incorrect javascript for some
input
I've no idea if we will be able to use it, but I'm impressed by the work.
Finally, I've taken the feedback I've gotten into account and am
releasing a list of the bugs that specifically block the release of a
tarball (bug #26676) instead of WMF-specific bugs (bug #27339). There
is a very good chance this bug list will grow, but after this weekend,
I feel confident that we'll be able to make it shrink fast.
Again, these are ordered by priority, so take what I said last Friday
about this sprint list into account: if you think something is
classified incorrectly, please re-classify it.
