Hi,
as previously announced [1], we've been facilitating a collective review of Wikimedia's current product management tools and development toolchain.
The most popular idea at the moment is to consolidate Wikimedia's product management and infrastructure tools (such as Bugzilla, Gerrit, RT, Mingle, Trello) into all-in-one Phabricator. We have therefore put together a Request for comment to bring this up for wider discussion.
This discussion affects anyone who deals with bug reports, feature requests and code changes in Wikimedia, so it's critical that you test Phabricator for your own use and make your voice heard in the RFC:
https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Requests_for_comment/Phabricator
We're compiling a list of Frequently asked questions at https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Requests_for_comment/Phabricator/FAQ ; You're welcome to add more and help answer them :)
We'll host a few IRC discussions while the RFC is running to help answer questions, etc. Our tentative times and dates are at https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Talk:Requests_for_comment/Phabricator#IRC_dis...
Thank you for your input!
Guillaume and Andre

Andre,
It's my understanding that the current Phabricator instance is temporary. Indeed, it includes mostly jokes and throw-away testing tasks, comments, boards, etc. Could we stand up an instance to which we would potentially migrate to? We would have to reserve task ids 1-100000 to allow us to port from Bugzilla, but do we have any other blockers?
I had volunteered my team to try it out for one of our projects, but I've been hesitating until we have a blessed version.

+1 for Growth.

We'd preferably reserve some numbers in Phabricator for Bugzilla and RT tickets in order to redirect; and maybe other tools.
I don't see us setting up a production instance yet and filing it up with real data, as long as we don't know how we'll actually migrate the real data.
I won't stop you from setting up a project in the testing Labs instance (looks like you've done that already) or setting up a separate Phabricator Labs instance though. :)

The fastest way to reach to that point is to resolve the Phabricator RfC, and the fastest way to resolve the Phabricator RfC is to register your explicit support at https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Requests_for_comment/Phabricator
It takes one minute. Please do it now.
Reminder: The next IRC discussion on this topic will be in 1 hour from now in #wikimedia-office on freenode.

The initial deadline for the RFC was yesterday. We now have a choice to make between closing the RFC, or leaving it open for another week to get more input. Imho it wouldn't hurt to extend the deadline by a week, but if you disagree, please comment on the talk page: https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Talk:Requests_for_comment/Phabricator#Shouldn...
Thanks!
