Dear tech ambassadors, According to our plans, we are just a few weeks away from Wikimedia Phabricator Day 1. On that day, Bugzilla will be accessible in read-only mode, and all the bug reports will have been migrated to Phabricator. From that point, all bug reporting will be done in Phabricator.
We are very excited about this move. Phabricator provides a friendlier environment to new/casual users while offering a powerful collaboration platform for software development and project management in general -- all at once! For instance, users can edit task descriptions, one task can be assigned to more than one project (or none), and tasks can be organized in project workboards (i.e. http://fab.wmflabs.org/project/board/31/ ). Learn about the launch at http://fab.wmflabs.org/T282. You can subscribe to this task to receive any updates. This Day 1 is also relevant for other migrations (RT, Trello, Mingle, even Gerrit at some point) but first of all we want to make sure that the Bugzilla migration is well communicated and understood across all Wikimedia projects. For that, we need your help. We are planning the communication activities at http://fab.wmflabs.org/T317 -- feedback and volunteers are welcome. Learn more about Wikimedia Phabricator, and how we got to the point we are now after nine months of discussion and work: https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Phabricator If you need help using Phabricator or you see other users with problems, check/improve https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Phabricator/Help. Support is provided at the related Talk page. We will continue sending major updates to this list between now and Day 1. As always, we welcome your questions and feedback. -- Quim Gil Engineering Community Manager @ Wikimedia Foundation http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/User:Qgil
