Matthew, thank you for your comments. Turns out your first one isn't correct; I had to register an account; neither my former Bugzilla credentials nor my wikimedia-project credentials worked there.RIsker/AnneOn 7 September 2014 08:55, Matthew Dann <mdann52@yahoo.co.uk> wrote:By the sounds of it, the logging on will (probably) be done with your regular Wikipedia account. I suspect linking will be done with a phabricator: prefix. I've looked at the beta version, and it seems easy enough to report bugs, and seems like an improvement on the old system.

Subject: Re: [Wikitech-ambassadors] Phabricator is coming,Bugzilla is leavingQuim, can you point me to a well-written, useful page that describes the steps needed to report a bug in Phabricator? This needs to include the steps to register an account (assuming that is necessary) all the way through to how to link to the bug on the WM wiki where it may be being discussed.Risker/AnneOn 7 September 2014 06:39, Quim Gil <qgil@wikimedia.org> wrote:(As this list is not meant for discussion, I will reply to this interesting question here and now, bu then I encourage you to to ask further in https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Phabricator/Help or the alternative channel you prefer.)

This intro in the http://fab.wmflabs.org homepage answers to your questions, and it will be kept in the Wikimedia Phabricator instance in production:

Non-technical projects are welcome as well.So yes, the door is open, and technically there is nothing stopping to non-technical teams to request a Phabricator project already now. However, currently we are not pitching this idea strongly because we expect enough... entropy with the huge wave of Bugzilla users that will come at once by Day 1. We'd rather let these tech users smooth the path for the rest.Conclusion: let's focus first in making sure that Phabricator works as a replacement of Bugzilla, a goal that undoubtedly will help non-technical users and projects in the near future.
