Dear all,
let me say it like this:
WOHOOOO!!!
All of our patchsets have been merged into core. You are awesome! Thank you so much!
We won't leave you without new work, though. Three points:
First, the merge of the ContentHandler branch is, now that it is being deployed, revealing issues in several places. If you discover something, please file it in Bugzilla under the ContentHandler component. The list of currently open bugs is here, and if you can help us, this would be great.
Second, we have created a document describing how data from Wikidata is being synched (or percolated, or propagated, or moved, or whatever the word shall be) to the Wikipedias. This is the core technical heart of Wikidata's inner magic, and we really would benefit from peer review and scrutiny on this topic. Comment. Suggest ideas. Help us out. We do not have the one perfect solution here, and it can make quite an impact.

Third, there is an oldish bug to MW core, filed in May, which we have a bad feeling about. We expect that it will bite us more often on Wikidata. The trouble is, there is no fix, and actually, we do not know what is going on there, and several others have also tried to crack this nut. If you want a challenge, squash this beast!

Enjoy all, Denny
