Hi,
It seems as though somebody's recently added a new product to "Wikimedia" in Bugzilla for AcaWiki. I'm just curious what AcaWiki is.
Also as a minor note to my fellow BZ admins: when you add a new product, it's good to give it a default assignee so people know who to prod :)

I tossed it in on a vague request, the details of which I don't remember. There's some talk on some research / foundation-l / etc: http://www.mail-archive.com/wiki-research-l@lists.wikimedia.org/msg01189.htm...
There may be a more appropriate place to stash the entries for now.

I don't follow either of those lists, so I missed that :) After skimming, I don't see any problem with keeping them where they are for now. But if AcaWiki doesn't end up coming to WMF, we should make sure to close the product to new bugs.

I should probably remember to log that stuff!

That sounds about right to me. :D

It's a Creative Commons project to summarize academic research. Definitely a very cool project with relevance to a lot of what we do (including esp. the wiki research community). They've expressed some interest in WMF hosting as a more natural place for this wiki to be. We're talking about what it would take to make that happen (although a short-term migration is unlikely), and some of the folks requested being able to use a Wikimedia bugtracker as part of this process.
I was under the impression they only wanted to use Bugzilla to track migration issues, but it seems like they're using it also as a general tracking tool. I don't have an opinion on that -- if you feel it adds noise to Bugzilla, I'm sure they'd be happy to track ongoing operational issues somewhere else.

I don't think it'll add too much noise to let them use BZ in the short/medium term so I don't really have any objections. But like I said earlier if they end up going elsewhere and not joining the WMF family then we should ask them to track bugs elsewhere. Nothing personal of course, but we can't be every wiki's bug tracker :)
