Hi Robla,
Any comments on how we can smoothen our deployments and get timely updates on issues your release engineering team is facing (such as scap problems etc.)?
Is there an irc channel or mailing list we can all be on to get better communication about our fast evolving deployment architecture so that it is easier for teams such as ours (i18n) to do deployments.
Let us know. Best, Alolita

I was able to deploy TranslationNotifications [1] to test.wikipedia.org. The good news is that it works nicely there. The bad news is that it's not yet on mediawiki.org or meta as planned.

Tehnical details for those who are interested:
- I added TranslationNotifications to 1.20wmf2 branch
- git pull on fenari failed due to file permission issues
** Reedy asked ops to fix it and they did ** I asked what should be done to prevent this issue from reappearing
- got no answer but I set my umask to 0002 manually.
- Documentation for updating make-wmf-branch code was out of date
(repo was moved to git). ** Submitted patch to git and updated the documentation on wikitech wiki. [2]
- I did the necessary configurations needed for a new extension and
enabled TranslationNotifications on test.wikipedia.org ** But test.wikipedia.org was still running on branch 1.20wmf1. Reedy updated it to 1.20wmf2 when I asked why it was like that. ** I was told that scap is broken and since scap is the easiest way to deploy new extension so that l10n cache gets updated, I decided not to deploy beyond testwiki.
- While testing on test.wikipedia.org, noticed one small usability
issue. Siebrand provided a fix for it.
- https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/5783 is still waiting for review. We
(l10n-team) decided earlier that digest email feature is not a blocker for deployment today.
