Hi all,

here is our weekly report on changesets to core relevant for Wikidata
development.

* Great news! The Wikidata branch got merged, possibly the biggest
single changeset to MediaWiki. Thanks to everyone for their input, I
am afraid to try to list them all because I would fail. Special thanks
to Tim for accompanying the development of the branch for the last
seven months (!), and congratulations to Duesentrieb for creating it.
We had cake. <http://instagram.com/p/QmtQaqhE1N> Thanks to Siebrand
for pushing the button.

The ContentHandler branch created a number of follow up items, many of
which are already merged. Here are a few open ones:
* Fix declaration of content_model and content_format fields:
<https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/#/c/27394/>
* Support plain text content:
<https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/#/c/27399/> (two +1s already)
* Silence warnings about deprecation by ContentHandler (since there
are too many right now, has already been discussed on this list)
<https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/#/c/27537/>

Besides the content handler als the ORMTable to access foreign wikis
changeset got merged. Yay to Chad!

Also the Sites management got merged after a review by Asher for its
DB impact and by Chad for the code. You are awesome! Thanks to Jeroen
for working on this <https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/#/c/23528/>

We have one more changeset open, and I'd love to see that one closed too:

* Sorting in jQuery tables:
<https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/#/c/22562/> That would be awesome to
merge. It got several +1's over its lifetime, it has been around for
more than a month, it got improved continually. If you have comments,
please write them into the code, Henning will take care of them.

Thank you so much for your awesome help everyone!

Cheers,
Denny
