Re: [Wikitech-l] Wikimedia Developer Summit 2017 discussion

I agree with bawolff, although I also see Quim's point about reopening this discussion at this particular point in time. But I think it's an important conversation to have, even if it's not going to be directly relevant to this year's dev summit. We used to have a project called "Flow", short

Re: [Wikitech-l] Wikimedia Developer Summit 2017 discussion

Hi Legoktm, Quim explained why this discussion is probably a moot point (for this year's summit) at . He's the chair of Program committee, and he's calling the shots on our tooling choice. He's said "it is too late to start a discussion about

Hi, I am sorry but this discussion about this basic principle arrives too late. We have been using Phabricator to submit proposals in the past two years, and although the feedback about this was "polarizing", all in all it was considered positive with ideas for improvement [0] [1]. We could have
