SJ, Neil and Quim, thanks wholeheartedly for all your answers, I think that removes most of the fears that I had. Although I must say it feels a bit unconventional since I haven´t figured out yet how to do scheduling, process flow, and other standard non-coding project management tasks in Phabricator. When compared with standard tools like MS Project, on the Project Planning Properties realm Phabricator seems to be lacking many features; http://project-management.zone/system/microsoft-project,phabricator
I guess I will start trying and learning to see how far I can get with it. It doesn´t need to be complex in order to be effective.
Cheers, Micru

I am looking for a space where I can set up projects like:
clean up a wiki category
set up book scanning tasks
track a survey stages (planning, translation, ad, analysis, etc)
Is phabricator a good place for that?
Since the very first day of https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/, the blurb in the homepage reads
"*Phabricator* is a collaboration platform open to all Wikimedia and MediaWiki contributors. We focus on bug reporting and software projects. Non-technical initiatives are welcome as well."
That replies your question officially. :)
I guess that with appropriate project/subproject separation then the tasks wouldn't be mixed with
coding
tasks.
Just like nobody wants all coding tasks mixed either. :) Tasks get mixed or apart in the way you want with the use of projects/tags. Simple.
How is it being done at the WMF?
For instance, even if a hackathon is about code, *organizing* a hackathon is not. In fact Engineering Community doesn't write much code and we have 99% of our activity organized in Phabricator projects, tasks, and sprints.
