Also, I'm planning to deploy the ReadingLists extension to production
tomorrow [1][2]. Sorry, I forgot completely to add that.

 Editing 
* Blocked by:
* Blocking:
* Updates:

 Parsing 
* Blocked by: Services (because of Cassandra3 migration) on deployment of
HTML version bump (for section, figure-inline, html5-id, interwiki-link
changes). This is just an FYI since Services & us have already synced up
about this.
* Blocking: Reading Infra on section tag markup
* Updates:
** itwiki, dewiki, and 170 small wikis got switched from Tidy to RemexHtml
yesterday - itwiki have flagged a bunch of new issues that hadn't been
caught by linting so far. Investigation ongoing and might introduce one or
two newer categories to aid editors -- we expect these categories to be
sparsely populated
** Templatedata related fixes being deployed today -- For pre-existing
transclusions, this will prevent Parsoid from normalizing parameter order
to templatedata format

* Blocking:
* Updates:
** The prometheus druid exporter (to report druid metrics to graphana via
prometheus) got some attention and others (outside WMF) will be using it
** First productionized version of EventLogging backend on hadoop launched
this week. This means SQL-friendly tables on hadoop with eventlogging data,
and for the first time, ability to join to all mediawiki databases in one
query
** Wikistats 2 APIs (like Pageview API, but for edit data), alpha launch:
https://wikitech.wikimedia.org/wiki/Analytics/AQS/Wikistats
** Wikistats 2 UI, alpha launch: https://stats.wikimedia.org/v2/
** Decommissioning old DB hosts for EventLogging done, remember that
eventlogging DB is now only on analytics-slave, not on analytics-store
anymore
** Work on kafka jumbo cluster
