Sam was nice enough to help me put together a checklist for doing the
release tomorrow [0]. I'd love all of you to look it over just in case
I get hit by a bus between now and deploy time tomorrow. Plus you
might see something that Sam normally does that is either not needed
(not too likely IMHO), not efficient (possible), or not something that
you knew needed to be done.

The scripts that generate and read wikiversions.dat tolerate a wider range
of syntactical quirks than are actually seen in the file. Additionally, the
external version field may not be required at all any more.
Does anyone have a few cycles to spare to make the PHP implementation
simpler, by dropping the third field, and making the file format be JSON?
It would be up to you whether to drop the field from the CDB file as well
or whether to simply hard-code an empty value for it.
This would make it much easier for Bryan to have the Python implementation
match PHP in behavior.

Hey all,
I just got this as an admin of our list.
It is apparently public, but without any use:
http://lists.wikimedia.org/pipermail/mediawiki-core/
So:
FIRST POST!!!!!!!!!1111
Anyways, just confirming with the list on this one. I think we agreed on
public/archivable, but there was a lot of confusion/bike shedding when
this list (and the google alias) was created last year. I could be
misremembering.
