Re: [Wikitech-l] Phabricator filter by language

We have a couple templates[0] for reporting bugs in the Android app that would almost always be language-java. I'm sure we could add the appropriate tags when they exist, although it might be a little redundant. On a related note, we've been trying to add the Easy tag where appropriate.

Re: [Wikitech-l] [Engineering] Code of conduct

I'm not big on rules but I am big on culture. The Internet causes an unusual phenomenon in people to miscommunicate and in turn say things they don't really mean because they feel attacked. I genuinely hope efforts like this, though only a single page of decency in print form, will be taken to
