Alright, let's find a compromise: we will make sure that any Architecture task fitting in Bugzilla will have a Bugzilla report. We will continue using Phabricator for all the rest. Let's talk again when we have a Phabricator instance in production (in a few weeks, according to plans).
For instance,"Schedule wednesday rfc meeting for european team next week Aug 13" http://fab.wmflabs.org/T528 could be closed as a perfectly INVALID report in Bugzilla, yet it has a function in our little project in Phabricator. If Labs goes down, we will manage.
PS: It is a fact that we have "real work" projects in fab.wmflabs.org today, and thanks to this we are learning and testing a lot. It would have been crazy to go from "Test Foo Blah" tasks to Phabricator Day 1 without this phase of experimentation and compromises in between.

It's unfortunate that it's being used for prod data. I never intended that when it was set up.
So yeah +1 to waiting until we have a real prod service.

Collateral summary: a transition to Phabricator has started, and this project is just taking advantage of it.

Can we please not use Phabricator until it's an actual production service? We still don't have IRC notifications, mailing lists, documentation, etc. Most people don't even look at it because, well, it's a test instance, not an actual thing people should be using.
Phabricator is supposed to become an actual production service within a
few
weeks. We are using it here for tracking tasks more than tracking bugs,
and
the workboard is a useful interface to see at a glance which RfCs are
ready
to be reviewed.
Lack of IRC notifications is not a dealbreaker in this project, since we didn't have it either in the purely MediaWiki-base process we had before. Mailing lists... will be used in the same way. Documentation... what do
you
need? Please check and ask at https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Phabricator/Help
Most people probably don't need to look at this project. For the
architects
and the few other people that have to follow it, I'm sure that notifications will work just fine.
I'm also reminded of Mark's comments in [1]: If a URL has "wmflabs.org"
in it...don't put anything, ANYTHING, important there.
For what is worth, some projects are posting important information in
this
Phabricator instance, and its content is being backed up periodically. _______________________________________________ Wikitech-l mailing list Wikitech-l@lists.wikimedia.org https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikitech-l
