Dear all,
let me say it like this:
WOHOOOO!!!
All of our patchsets have been merged into core. You are awesome!
Thank you so much!
We won't leave you without new work, though. Three points:
First, the merge of the ContentHandler branch is, now that it is being
deployed, revealing issues in several places. If you discover
something, please file it in Bugzilla under the ContentHandler
component. The list of currently open bugs is here, and if you can
help us, this would be great.

Second, we have created a document describing how data from Wikidata
is being synched (or percolated, or propagated, or moved, or whatever
the word shall be) to the Wikipedias. This is the core technical heart
of Wikidata's inner magic, and we really would benefit from peer
review and scrutiny on this topic. Comment. Suggest ideas. Help us
out. We do not have the one perfect solution here, and it can make
quite an impact.

Third, there is an oldish bug to MW core, filed in May, which we have
a bad feeling about. We expect that it will bite us more often on
Wikidata. The trouble is, there is no fix, and actually, we do not
know what is going on there, and several others have also tried to
crack this nut. If you want a challenge, squash this beast!

Enjoy all,
Denny
