Sending this out because I know many of your are wondering about the status of the Redis JobQueue work.
This happened today:
18:24 logmsgbot: aaron synchronized wmf-config/jobqueue-eqiad.php 'Enabled use of redis for null test jobs'
What that means is that null test jobs will be sent to the new Redis-based JobQueue. Aaron will also begin sending some real jobs to the Redis-based queue later today and monitor them.
If all goes well with the testing, we should be able to switch over fully by this coming Monday.
