Fun story, the logs of #wikimedia-dev suggest that I performed 218 actions
during the grooming of this backlog. :)

Hey folks,
I had a micro victory today, so I thought I'd share. The revision scoring
project has a huge backlog. I just spent a long time resolving old tasks
and organizing the *live* tasks by the projects they affect and what they
need me and my team to do.
See
https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/tag/revision-scoring-as-a-service-backlog/
Why you're looking (assuming you care to look at another project's
backlog), feel free to file new tasks in the "Backlog" or the appropriate
column.
Note that the columns are not sorted in a nice way. Next time I have time
for this, I'll be doing prioritization.

Hey folks,
As part of setting up production servers, we need to do a change that will
affect our hosts in labs (via puppet). This will require a brief downtime
event that should last less than 15 minutes.
We'll do this at 1400 UTC tomorrow, Tuesday March, 23rd. I'll post an
update once we're done.
-Aaron
Hey all,
We are working on deployment of new version of ORES. This new version
includes new version of revscoring, API v2 updates, and new models for
arwiki and plwiki.
The maintenance is taking more than we anticipated so you might experience
some issues or delays requesting scores. We apologize for any inconvenience.
We let you know once it's done.
Thank you for your patience.
Best
Forwarding the campaign announcement, and ideas from Aaron Halfaker.

I just finished submitting two ideas that I'd like to advise.
https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Grants:IdeaLab/Automated_good-faith_newcome…
Build and deploy a machine learning model for flagging newcomers who are
editing in good-faith. This has the potential to mitigate some of the
secondary, demotivational effects when good-faith newcomers' work passes
through curation/review processes.
https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Grants:IdeaLab/Fast_and_slow_new_article_re…
Concerns about the introduction of spam into Wikipedia has lead Wikipedians
towards implementing high speed new article review/curation processes. The
speed at which editors tag articles for deletion via these processes is
great for dealing with spam, but it might also be faster that good-faith
new article creators can build their articles. We could build a machine
learning classifier that is tuned to detect spammy article drafts. This
would allow the new pages queue to be split into a high-speed spammy
article review, and a low-speed article review that allows creators time to
make a better first draft.
I'll submit some more when I can. :)
