Thanks, Quim, much appreciated :)

All right, team, let's discuss in tomorrow's sprint meeting how we can roll up our sleeves and move all our multimedia tickets to Phabricator in coming days ...

Onward!

I'd be interested to first know and understand how to avoid duplicating existing tickets under Multimedia components in Bugzilla before anything is "moved". "Our multimedia tickets" from where? Mingle? Trello?
Don't they often have sister tickets in Bugzilla (which would get imported into Phab soon)?

Mingle: https://wikimedia.mingle.thoughtworks.com/projects/multimedia/

They do sometimes. I wouldn't worry much about the occasional duplication - an automated process to move tickets seems doable, an automated process to detect and merge duplicates not so much, and even if it was, there aren't so many potential dupes that it would justify the time investment IMO.

At any rate, we should first create a bunch of test tickets and figure out how to preserve information from Mingle (story points, epics etc.) so rolling up our sleeves and migrating stuff is a bit farther away I think.

Note that "a bunch of test tickets" should be created in http://phab-01.wmflabs.org, a place conceived exactly for that purpose (where Story Points and the Burndown extension already exist).

...and small addition to Quim's last comment: A field for story points will become available in this production instance at some point in the future, see T452.
