Hi, it has been almost a week since we opened https://bugzillapreview.wmflabs.org/ for community review.

Thanks to some reviewers with excellent attention to detail, some new bugs have been found, and some new discussions have have been held. The current status of the preview is reflected in https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/project/board/40/query/all/

The Bugzilla migration script is in "blocker freeze" now. Once we have resolved the current blockers, we will regenerate the bugzillapreview instance with a sample of 500 tasks in order to verify the fixes.

There have been tasks declined as well, the most remarkable of them being "T857 Imported bugs from bugzilla should be assigned the same number as their bugzilla ID". This would be already a very complex task to be performed on a fresh Phabricator install, and the fact that we have now hundreds of real tasks in http://phabricator.wikimedia.org just makes things more complicated. There is a detailed explanation at https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T857

Tomorrow, we will start discussing possible dates for the Bugzilla and RT migrations. While we keep working on open tasks, the next milestone is to announce the dates of these migrations.

In the meantime, T1000 was created today, it is becoming a lot easier to find your colleagues' usernames in Phabricator, WMF teams are discussing their migration plans, Ops is working hard on moving away from RT, WMDE is polishing the Burndown chart extension... and all these pieces are approaching each other, perhaps slower than we planned, but steadily, and thanks to the effort of more contributors every week. With your help, we are getting there!

Phabricator milestone!

https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Phabricator/versus_Bugzilla#Test_instance (please read)

A test instance is available for review, showing a sample of 10% of all the Bugzilla reports, automatically migrated. Register with your Bugzilla email address, wait for your activity to be assigned to you (might take a while), and try to find problems that we should fix before the real migration happens.

WE WANT YOUR FEEDBACK

Check the list of known issues before creating new tasks. We are leaving at least one week for feedback, or more if there are issues that require fixes and a second test. At the end of the review period we will be able to commit to a Bugzilla migration date.

Thank you again to Chase, Mukunda, and Andre for opening a way that nobody has walked before. Big Thank You also to the growing number of contributors helping in this complex and terribly interesting migration process!
