The team has some hires, and there will be some needed focus on hiring at least some of them as backend/MediaWiki core engineers. This is mostly because we acknowledge the sizable backlog of tasks in that area as well as the need to make improvements in that area to support future work.
I'll likely look to The Performance team to help with HHVM related activities as well.
