=== Reading Infrastructure === * Security: If you could squeeze in a look at https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/#/c/259066 and related patches (it's another thing needed for AuthManager that isn't "in" AuthManager itself), we'd appreciate it.

=== Collaboration === * Continuing work on Echo notification, including cross-wiki and messaging refinements, and a multi-wiki MediaWiki-Vagrant setup to work on this locally. * Fixed a production issue with a page on English Wikipedia * We had a problem with Nuke in production that wasn't caught locally, so had to revert release branch. FIx is about to be merged. * That revealed our local setup needs to be closer to production. I started working on that. Preliminary step was to have MWV stop using root for DB access, which was planned anyway. Later we will have Flow and Echo use a separate DB locally.
