Hello all,

I have announced on the Dutch Wikipedia that Bugzilla will be moved to Phabricator and that users with a Bugzilla account need to take action to create an account on Phabricator and connect the account. I also made a short roadmap for doing this.

I also wrote an announcement for this on the Italian, French, Spanish and Portuguese Wikipedia. The German Wikipedia will follow later today.

If there are more Wikipedias where I should post this, let me know.

Also I think it would be good to send all users on Bugzilla an e-mail that they need to do this.

Greetings,

Romaine

Dear tech ambassadors, another Phabricator announcement that you are encouraged to spread.

We are very interested in testing the creation of accounts using non-Latin and/or non-alphabetical in Wikimedia usernames. It should work now that we have applied a fix, but more testing is welcome. For more details, see https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T547

---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Quim Gil qgil@wikimedia.org Date: Mon, Oct 6, 2014 at 11:34 PM Subject: Wikimedia Phabricator is now open for everyone To: Wikimedia developers wikitech-l@lists.wikimedia.org

Today we celebrate an important milestone in the Phabricator project:

https://phabricator.wikimedia.org is now open to all Wikimedia users!

Special thanks go to @chasemp and @mmodell, who lead us to this milestone with their Phabricator expertise.

Please get your account and let us know if you find any problems.

https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Phabricator/Help#Creating_your_account explains how to register and how to claim your fab activity today (and your RT and Bugzilla activity in the future).

You are invited to participate in existing projects. Creation of new projects is closed until the completion of the Bugzilla migration -- see https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Phabricator/Help#Requesting_a_new_project

NEXT STEPS

We will set up a separate Phabricator instance containing a sample of Bugzilla reports imported automatically, for your delight and criticism. After this instance is announced, we will leave at least one week for community feedback before deciding the next steps.
