Hi everyone,

Thank you everyone involved for getting the review queue down as low as it is. As it stands, we have 82 new revisions to review, and 57 fixmes: http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/MediaWiki_roadmap/1.18/Revision_report

Back on August 18, we had 171 new revisions to review and 59 fixmes. If you start there an plot linearly to release, that means reviewing 7-8 new revisions per day, and fixing an average of 2 fixmes per day to just barely be done on September 16. Needless to say, we're doing great on the new revisions, but the fixmes are a bit of a problem.

Even accounting for the fact that fixmes are being added as a result of the rapid rate of new revision fixing, we're still not fixing the fixmes fast enough. Between August 18 and now, we've netted 2 revisions, by fixing 9 fixmes, and adding 7 more. That's only fixing the fixmes at a rate of 1.5 a day, which won't get us there even if we don't add any more fixmes. Given the fact that reviewing 89 revisions yielded 7 new fixmes, it's reasonable to expect that 5-10% of the remaining new revisions will become new fixmes, which will add 4-8 new fixmes before we're done.

So, please take a look at the fixme list (especially if you are one of the committers involved) and do what you can to reduce our load.

Thanks! Rob
