Hi Jeroen,

I'm curious to what the release plans for 1.18 are. 1.18wmf1 has been
deployed on the wmf wikis, but still there is no beta release for 1.18.
For
when is such an initial beta planned, and what's the target data for the
actual 1.18 release?
Completion of the 1.18 deployment for Wikimedia sites was followed by
multi day "all staff" and "tech meetings" in San Francisco. Because
of
this, resources have been spread extremely thin this week.
This weekend ops and others deeply involved in the 1.18 release process
are participating in the New Orleans hackathon. Today they are en route to
New Orleans.
It simply has not yet been possible to push out a tarball with a beta of
MediaWiki 1.18.
Monday or Tuesday, things will largely be back to normal, and I think I'm
not wrong if many of the WMF techies also want to get a beta of 1.18 out
of the door, and will push hard to make that happen next week.
