Is Wikifont deployed in production? It's the first time I hear about it.
Ugh. Why is that in an external repo and not in gerrit.
/me has never heard of it before, so no idea if deployed.

I'll talk to May, get this onto Gerrit and see if it can be deployed. Will this have to be structured as an extension? Or would it go into core?

Neither i'd imagine (it all depends on how it will be used. If its being used as an extension it should be an extension), there are plenty of things in gerrit which are neither extensions nor core (for example things under wikimedia/ or tools/. In the svn days we used to have an "art" repo for source files for images used in mw. Not sure if we still have it.)

An extension *might* make sense, we could use ResourceLoader to load the Webfont files. There is not `art` repo any more (or maybe I couldn't find it on http://git.wikimedia.org/repositories/). I am not sure where it should belong and thus am asking for direction.

A major improvement over the previous practice of using Dropbox, though :)

Probably just put the assets into core and add them to the ResourceLoader config. You might want to keep the original repo as well, if you have important files other than the final assets and/or want to encourage reuse outside MediaWiki; you have to periodically merge updates to the core repo by hand, then. (This is how e.g. OOJS does it.)

Following what OOJS does - https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/#/c/137888/ I still have some questions that I've mentioned in the comments.
