Hi everyone,
We're hitting the home stretch. Check this out: http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/MediaWiki_1.19/Revision_report
Summary: 27 unreviewed ("new") revisions, 14 fixmes
It looks like we're getting close enough to the bottom of the review queue that we could conceivably even hit zero unreviewed early next week. Should we target Tuesday for the branch point?
The biggest risk for a February 13 deployment is the number of fixmes left. 14 is quite a lot to get through in the short period of time we have left. Please do not be bashful about fixing other people's old fixmes at this point, or even the newer ones provided you coordinate with the author.
Thanks Rob

The thread indicates the deployment will be on Feb 6, but the body indicates it will be on Feb 13. Perhaps a clarification?

I'm not sure but my first guess is that deployment and branching are not the same day. Maybe that allows for a week of extra QA/labs beta tests? or some last minute fixes after branching?

That's exactly it. Branching is the first step along the way. We *could* conceivably branch really close to the 1.19 push to test2, but branching beforehand gives us a chance to have things a little closer to frozen for the final week before deploy.

Hi, is there any update on branching? Thank you
