(Thanks Dan for sending out the newsletter today! Maybe that'll bump us over the 100-supporters line!)
I just want to draw people's attention to a discussion started by Christian on Phabricator about whether it's best to not target Wikidata as our main data repository, and what to do about unsourced information and private sub-trees:

Sorry for the confusion!
I'm very interested in people's frustrations around Phabricator, because I think they're probably stopping quite a few people from being able to engage there with Wikimedia software development at large.
To log in, you just need to already be logged in to Wikipedia (or any other wiki) and then go to https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/login/ and select the "Log In or Register / MediaWiki" button (the left one).
It'll send you to mediawiki.org and you'll get a popup asking for you to authorize Phabricator. Say yes, and you'll be sent back to Phabricator, and now you'll be logged in. Then, when you look at any ticket, there'll be a comment box at the bottom! (I hope.)
:) And do shout out with any problems you encounter or confusions you find, because you're certainly not alone with finding Phabriactor bewildering.
