FYI -
When you notice an outage, jumping on #wikimedia-tech on freenode
(IRC) is the best way of getting a hold of the people who are
(probably) already working on fixing this.  If you do not have irc
access, wikitech-l is a better second notification.

If you are curious, this was limited to the european region and was
due to some instabilities in a network upgrade.

Two minor questions about the numbers. I don't see an item for

Heya folks,

It's time we figure out what the Main Page of Wikidata should look
like. It'd be great if you helped out with this. I've started a page
on Meta here: http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikidata/Main_Page_draft
We'll copy the content of that page to Wikidata once it's live.
Go crazy and make it useful and pretty ;-)

No, for me too. They start being full at "Daily feedback volume

completely empty.

The complete reports on WMF research on AFT5 can be found here:
http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Research:Article_feedback

The tool is currently deployed on a random 10% sample of English Wikipedia 
articles so it's not surprising most readers/editors don't see it very often. 
We are currently collecting about 4K unique feedback messages per day: 
http://toolserver.org/~dartar/aft5

As for the quality of feedback – as judged by community members and readers – we have 
some preliminary usage data coming from the FeedbackPage: 
http://toolserver.org/~dartar/fp/ as well as results based on blind assessment by 
Wikipedians that we ran during the early stages of AFT5 research (see the "Quality 
assessment" sections in the research reports above).


Graphs are empty for me there, is it just me?


We will be publishing shortly an update on FeedbackPage data, but as the 
feature is not rolled out on the entire project and not many editors or readers 
know how to find the FeedbackPage (i.e. the only place where comments can be 
filtered, flagged and moderated), these results should not be taken as 
conclusive.

A full roll out of AFT5 on the entire English Wikipedia is scheduled for Q4 
2012.
