Thanks so much for all your hard work, Frances!
I had a great time pairing with you on the Ruby-related stuff, and I'm
incredibly appreciative of the "gold standard" that you've developed.
We've
already made some improvements to our internally used Ruby client that were
guided in large part by your recommendations [1]—the client library didn't
quite make the cut at the time due to its limitations and the fact that it
was essentially serving as a minimal dependency of mediawiki-selenium. As
soon as
fab.wmflabs.org is back in action I'll be adding the tasks
necessary to bring the library fully up to snuff.
PS: Good luck with the Growstuff API! I've just signed up, so keep me in
the loop about any cool applications you develop. :)

. Thank you to everyone who has helped me learn as much and contribute
as much as I have this summer, and special thanks to my mentors and
technical advisers. This has been a great experience, and I'm happy to
be leaving API:Client code in better shape than I found it!
I hope to stick around the MediaWiki development community as I move
on in my career as a software developer. I've applied for the January
batch of Hacker School. Until that starts, I'll be working on API
applications for Growstuff (
http://growstuff.org): a gardening site
that collects crowdsourced data from local gardeners around the world
and freely licenses the resulting data. Wherever I end up after this,
I'm glad to have gotten my start on MediaWiki.
