Today we held our "Are we gonna have a 1.18 point release right now" bug
triage.
We decided not to do a point release right now. Instead, we'll start
documenting the issues that people are running into when they upgrade to
or install version 1.18 and committing any necessary patches to the
REL1_18 branch. I've attempted to start an FAQ at
<https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/MediaWiki_roadmap/1.18/FAQ>.
Please refer to that FAQ and update it as you see fit. If you know of
any other issues with our 1.18, file a bug report on bugzilla
(
http://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/) and, if you like, let me know.
Thanks,
Mark.
