Thanks Quim, and a question about the broader components of Phabricator.
Traditionally the rum by the WMF community have been considered to be in
developer zone where the punters came to report issues, so all traditional
development related issues. As there is going to be larger range of tools,
do we see some of these being available to the community outside of the
development realm? Trello-like components, and other project management
aspects may have attractions for other sorts of coordinated activities.

Dear tech ambassadors,
According to our plans, we are just a few weeks away from Wikimedia
Phabricator Day 1. On that day, Bugzilla will be accessible in read-only
mode, and all the bug reports will have been migrated to Phabricator.
From
that point, all bug reporting will be done in
Phabricator.
We are very excited about this move. Phabricator provides a friendlier
environment to new/casual users while offering a powerful collaboration
platform for software development and project management in general --
all
at once! For instance, users can edit task
descriptions, one task can be
assigned to more than one project (or none), and tasks can be organized
in
project workboards (i.e.
http://fab.wmflabs.org/project/board/31/ ).
Learn about the launch at
http://fab.wmflabs.org/T282. You can subscribe
to
this task to receive any updates.
This Day 1 is also relevant for other migrations (RT, Trello, Mingle,
even
Gerrit at some point) but first of all we want to make
sure that the
Bugzilla migration is well communicated and understood across all
Wikimedia
projects. For that, we need your help.
We are planning the communication activities at
http://fab.wmflabs.org/T317
-- feedback and volunteers are welcome.

We will continue sending major updates to this list between now and Day
1.
As always, we welcome your questions and feedback.
