welcomes
   feedback on these points:
      - "Publication of non-harassing private communication"

<https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Talk:Code_of_conduct_for_technical_spaces/Draft>

      <https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Talk:Code_of_Conduct/Draft>)
      - "Project administrators and maintainers have the right and
      responsibility..."

<https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Talk:Code_of_conduct_for_technical_spaces/Draft>

      <https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Talk:Code_of_Conduct/Draft>)
      - Finishing the "Report a problem" section
      <https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Talk:Code_of_Conduct/Draft> (new)

Project management

   - Now anybody can join and watch the Operations project
   <https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/project/profile/1025/> in
   Phabricator. (Phab:T90491 <https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T90491>)
   - Are the Commons <https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/tag/commons/>,
   Wikisource <https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/tag/wikisource/>, and
   Wiktionary <https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/tag/wiktionary/> projects
   in Phabricator useful? (Phab:T111046
   <https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T111046>)

Code review

   - Gerrit Cleanup Day: lessons learned
   <https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/Phab:T113378> and proposal for a new
   edition <https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T115844> in January 2016.
   - Decide/document whether "controversial" changes should be marked as
   CR-2 in Code Review. (Phab:T115850
   <https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T115850>)

Metrics

   - Open changesets without code review
   <http://korma.wmflabs.org/browser/scr-backlog.html> is now fixed. The 3
   oldest changesets haven't been updated since 2013; 2 were uploaded by
   volunteers. (Phab:T112661 <https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T112661>)
   - Phab:T110520 <https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T110520> fixed means
   that now it is easy to track code review metrics for specific repositories,
   for instance MediaWiki core

<http://korma.wmflabs.org/browser/repository.html?repository=gerrit.wikimedia.org_mediawiki_core>
   .
   - Now we have metrics for all Wikimedia tech IRC channels
   <http://korma.wmflabs.org/browser/irc-repos.html> with logs
   <https://bots.wmflabs.org/~wm-bot/logs/>. (Phab:T56230
