Hi! In a shameless copy of Sumana's August 2012 idea, I'd like to send public thanks to some people who have helped me get some things done in the past few weeks/days: * Guillaume Paumier, for his overall amazingness and his help in creating and distributing the weekly Tech News bulletin; * Daniel Zahn (mutante) and Sam Reed (Reedy) for their help in getting my Gerrit patches reviewed merged (long overdue!); * Ariel Glenn (apergos) for triaging my latest RT ticket and for being so nice and understanding on a Sunday evening ;-) So, if you'd like to thank someone, now is a good time and opportunity to do so! Following Sumana's example, the rules are: be kind, thank someone, and say why you're thanking them.

I echo this. Theopolisme has been submitting patches to Mobile Frontend too and doing the leg work to fixing some longstanding issues. Thanks Theopolisme!

Thanks to all the volunteers doing first level technical support for the communities. It is crazy how many corner cases people manage to hit. Thanks to all volunteers who tirelessly triage bug reports. Thanks to all volunteers reviewing code for MediaWiki, most often with more knowledge than I have (and thank you guys for merging my changes!).

I'll start a thread here once I get time! Also thank you Sumana for starting that thread about seeing what we could do about Tor. As a user of Tor who is sometimes frustrated by not being able to edit while using Tor, I really appreciate that! Thank you Jeremy Baron, Tyler Romeo, Chad, Andre Klapper, Risker, and Nathan Larson for all your help with helping me debug things and pointing me in the right direction when I have problems to report. Thank you to everyone who I missed who have helped me out on this list! Finally thank you to everyone on the Visual Editor team. You got a lot of crap a while back from everyone, including myself, but you really are working on an awesome product, and I'm glad to see it happening.

Re: [Wikitech-l] February '14 appreciation thread
Hey, Thanks to Tpt for doing a great job in implementing things in WikibaseDataModelSerialization. Thanks to MWJames for his huge amount of contributions to the SMW project. Thanks to Jamie Thingelstad for providing very helpful early adoption feedback on SMW and running the awesome resource that is WikiApiary. This makes up for me having to look up how to spell that last name! Thanks to Karsten (kgh) for providing great user support, enhancing translations and doing many other things. Thanks to addshore for improving the Wikibase code even when I am not looking. Thanks to those who are trying to make the MediaWiki dev community a more friendly and open minded place.

Re: [Wikitech-l] February '14 appreciation thread
Thank you to all of you on this list (and on the IRC channels and Bugzilla and Mediawikiwiki) - for treating me as a list participant whose comments are worthy of your attention. I don't know if you realise how rare it is to have the opportunity to work with so many people who genuinely interested in the perspective of end-users - particularly an end-user like me who struggles to understand the technical dialect and has to ask questions about what, to most of you, are elementary concepts. Derric, it meant more than you know that you included me in your thanks. Kunal (legoktm) has a special place in my heart for all the things he does, not only to help me to understand things, but to quietly take care of little things that make the path smoother for everyone else, in at least half a dozen different extensions that I personally have seen him help out on. All those little things add up to making big differences. A line of code here, an improvement there, a side discussion with someone to suggest a different path...all I can say is that if I am noticing it, I'm pretty sure a lot of other people are too.
