Today somebody on IRC pointed out the existence of https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/tag/maybe_analytics/ which seems to be entirely unused (created in Feb 2015). Its description implies that its intended use is more or less the same as the #Blocked-on-Analytics project (created in Dec 2014). So can this project be archived? If not, how do you plan to actually use it? Generally speaking: I'm not aware of a task where the creation of this project was proposed / discussed. For future reference, please respect https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Phabricator/Creating_and_renaming_projects andre -- Andre Klapper | Wikimedia Bugwrangler http://blogs.gnome.org/aklapper/ _______________________________________________ Analytics mailing list Analytics(a)lists.wikimedia.org https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/analytics

The project is intended for Analytics customers to alert Analytics of work in their products that they think might intersect with ours. It's a way of giving Analytics an early heads-up so that Analytics can either say,"Thanks for the early warning!" or "Thanks, but this does not touch Analytics." We can remind participants at Scrum-of-Scrums that they can use this project.

So for now, please do not archive it. Thanks!

Sounds to me like the nuance we were trying to go for is causing
