Hey,
After discussion with Robla and DanielK, we (the Wikidata team) decided to write mails to this list now and then complain about our blockers for which we need WMF (or other core dev) assistance :)
Right now we have three patches to core awaiting review:
Simple patch, which as far as I can tell is ready to go in. Development of core parts of our phase one functionality is blocked by this, and not having this merged is causing hassle for people that want to setup their own working Wikidata repo-client install.
More complex patch, but has no effect on existing code in core yet, so can be merged in without much risk. It's less urgent then the first patch, although it just sitting there is causing overhead in regard to further developing this code, and is preventing us from starting to work on updating core code to make use of this rewrite.
- The Wikidata core branch with ContentHandler stuff
DanielK needs to chime in here, as I was unable to find anything sitting on gerrit waiting for review. In any case, my understanding is that we still need to get quite a bit merged in, doing this step by step, so obviously we can only get to the next one when the current one got merged.
I'd like to add one thing: It'd be awesome if Jens Ohlig could get enough gerrit karma to be able to push tags. This way he could create a tag whenever he updates the demo system and it'd be easy to see for people which patches are live on the current demo system and which are not yet.
Cheers Lydia
