- Merging the Wikidata branch (ContentHandler) is still open, see
https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=38622. There has been no feedback in the last few weeks. Daniel is waiting for input.
Per discussion on the bug, there's an unresolved issue with the code as stored in Gerrit. Tim tried cloning this, and wasn't able to find some of the revisions that Daniel referred to. Last week, you mentioned that Daniel was going to send mail to the list about the Gerrit stuff, but I don't recall seeing that.
If you can get the code somewhere Tim can review it, he's ready to look at it.
- Changeset https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/#/c/14295/, bug
https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=38705 about handling sites. The idea is to migrate from the "interwiki" table to the new "Sites" facility. RobLa mentioned two weeks ago that Chad seems to be working in a similar direction, but we haven't seen comments yet. No discussion is ongoing or any substantial feedback was received here as well, and it seems somewhat stuck.
I'd strongly suggest starting a separate thread on this mailing list about this (please change the subject line if you reply to this message). In short, this is a controversial approach, and is unclear why you're letting it block your work.
It looks like this page needs an update as well: http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Wikidata_deployment
One thing that was tacked on the wiki page without mention here or a bug created was the "Stick to that language" extension. Is that a hard requirement, or nice to have?
