*Content*


The English Wikiquote of the day for 8 August is from American poet Sara
Teasdale . The quote is a
poem, "Alchemy
,"
from her collection *Rivers to the Sea* that was published in 1915. A few
years later and for another poetry collection, Teasdale received a Pulitzer
prize .


The Commons picture of the day for 2 August was of a butterfly, a Spotted
fritillary (Melitaea didyma
),
in Galichica National Park, Republic of Macedonia (now North Macedonia), by
photographer Charles J. Sharp from Scotland.



*Products and technologies*


The oldest “unbreak now” task on Phabricator as of 1 August was 0 days
.
(This could mean that there were no unbreak now tasks at the time that the
Phabricator report was generated, which would be good news.)
