FWIW, Community Engagement will be doing something similar (mix of
positive-serious with positive-fun) in metrics meeting every month. You

On Thu,
What's a cool thing you just discovered or are involved in that is
happening in the Wikimedia world?

*do* know that a number of teams at the WMF use Phabricator for non-coding
tasks—for example, see T89355 [1], T97004 [2], T100918 [3], and T101207 [4].

observation that discussion here is falling off, I thought I'd start an

Hi Luis, Aaron and all,
