Hey all,
If some of you used the deployment site at wmflabs.org please note that I am renaming the central wiki this week from:
labs.wikimedia.beta.wmflabs.org to
deployment.wikimedia.beta.wmflabs.org
The previous domain should redirect, but it may result in some outages. This rename is done as a result of discussion we had between some other devs, there were some complains that the current name is confusing people, since some of them thought that deployment site is wikimedia labs, while in fact it's a project of wikimedia labs. If there are any issues or requests regarding deployment site, please create a ticket in bugzilla, we have a section deployment beta cluster in Wikimedia Labs product.
Thank you

"Backstage" projects in the meta homepage[1] might need an update to reflect the correct understanding too.
Also correct me if am wrong, TestWiki is to test *any* change while the deployment site is for testing next wmf release. Translatewiki is the place to preview/test all i18n changes. Has testwiki become redundant after having the deployment site?

Test wiki is running production version of mediawiki, so it's not useful to perform any tests of software which wasn't reviewed and isn't considered stable. It's a last place where sw goes to before it's updated on production sites. Developers can test some configuration changes and scripts to test if it wouldn't break anything.
The deployment site on labs is meant to be a place where unstable software and development version is running, so that community of wikimedia projects and tech folks can test it while it's still in development and prepare their gadgets to work with future version of software.
I hope it's more clear now
