I've talked a bit on IRC about how I'm using the Bugzilla API to create various reports. Some people have shown interest — IIRC, MZMcBride said I should create a graph or report showing which bugs have how many duplicates.

I haven't done that, but I did create an example Bz API client that I adapt and can use for writing reports on, for example, our weekly bug triage.

I took advantage of the MWHttpRequest built into MediaWiki, rather than depending on one of the plethora of PHP-based HTTP client code bases (like the one available at http://snoopy.sf.net/) and I modified the JSON RPC client at http://jsonrpcphp.org/ to use the MWHttpRequest class.

This means you'll have to set $IP and set the MEDIAWIKI constant to true before including bugzilla.php as I've done in http://svn.wikimedia.org/svnroot/mediawiki/trunk/tools/bugzilla/client/main....

The sample code I've committed in main.php is supposed to show all normal or higher priority bugs in bugzilla after their assignee's emails. This sort of report was useful for me this past week when I sent nagging emails to MW developers.

Also, after talking to robla today, I went ahead and downloaded a 23mb mbox file from gmane.org (since one wasn't available from wikimedia.org) and I'll be working on charting our most prolific bug closers, as well as other data.

Another thing I've been working on is getting more people involved in code review so that our 1.18 won't be delayed becase of the lack of code reviewers.

See everyone in Berlin, (everyone who is going to be there, anyway)

Mark.
