a good option to do that in 140c. Post away ;)
Amir has written a follow-up post on the actual transition from PHP to JSON. Proposed postings:

- t: Wikimedia Language engineer @aharoni explains why and how
@MediaWiki's localization file format was changed to JSON:

- f/g: In this follow-up to last week's announcement about
LocalisationUpdate, Wikimedia Language engineer Amir Aharoni why +MediaWiki's localization file format was changed to JSON, and how it required a concerted effort by many MediaWiki developers.
