Hi all,

here is our weekly report on changesets to core relevant for Wikidata development.

* Great news! The Wikidata branch got merged, possibly the biggest single changeset to MediaWiki. Thanks to everyone for their input, I am afraid to try to list them all because I would fail. Special thanks to Tim for accompanying the development of the branch for the last seven months (!), and congratulations to Duesentrieb for creating it. We had cake. http://instagram.com/p/QmtQaqhE1N Thanks to Siebrand for pushing the button.

The ContentHandler branch created a number of follow up items, many of which are already merged. Here are a few open ones: * Fix declaration of content_model and content_format fields: https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/#/c/27394/ * Support plain text content: https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/#/c/27399/ (two +1s already) * Silence warnings about deprecation by ContentHandler (since there are too many right now, has already been discussed on this list) https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/#/c/27537/

Besides the content handler als the ORMTable to access foreign wikis changeset got merged. Yay to Chad! https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/#/c/25264/

Also the Sites management got merged after a review by Asher for its DB impact and by Chad for the code. You are awesome! Thanks to Jeroen for working on this https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/#/c/23528/

We have one more changeset open, and I'd love to see that one closed too:

* Sorting in jQuery tables: https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/#/c/22562/ That would be awesome to merge. It got several +1's over its lifetime, it has been around for more than a month, it got improved continually. If you have comments, please write them into the code, Henning will take care of them.

Thank you so much for your awesome help everyone!

Cheers, Denny
