Description

AFAIK, Wikibugs currently gets information about phabricator task changes by polling the phabricator feed. This is inefficient.

Webhooks > polling

From https://secure.phabricator.com/book/phabricator/article/webhooks/:

Callbacks may be delayed for an arbitrarily long amount of time, up to the garbage collection limit. You should not assume that calls are real time.
