== Events coordination ==
While defining [[ https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T88520 | Goals and measures of success of the Wikimedia Hackathon 2015 ]], we have developed further the [[ https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Hackathons#The_Wikimedia_Hackathon_model | Wikimedia hackathon model ]], focusing on demo-able projects, hackathon buddies, and welcoming newcomers. One of the first consequences has been the creation of [[ https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Lyon_Hackathon_2015/Buddies | wiki pages to find hackathon buddies ]].
Follow the wikis for the [[http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Lyon_Hackathon_2015 | Lyon Hackathon ]] and the [[https://wikimania2015.wikimedia.org/wiki/Main_Page | Mexico City Hackathon ]]. Currently we do not have information up about the hackathon, however we will be updating the Wikimania page soon.
Feedback has been collected from 64 participants at the MediaWiki Developers Summit, 2015. In March it will be compiled and lessons learned and a plan for next year will be released. Follow the [[ https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T87514 | phabricator task ]] for more details.
== Documentation improvement ==
Initial content for [[ https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T308 | Data & developer hub]]: draft showcase/inspire articles for [[ https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/API:Recent_changes_stream | Recent changes stream]] and [[ https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/API:Page_info_in_search_results | Wikidata API queries]] triggered improvements to templates, related MediaWiki and wikitech pages, and underlying API documentation. Prototyped links from example API queries to the ApiSandbox (T89680, T89229).
More of the [[ https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Requests_for_comment/HTML_templating_library | HTML templating RFC]] became [[ https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:HTML_templates | documentation]], [[https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:Using_custom_namespaces | custom namespaces]] documentation improved and duplicate redundancy eliminated, and much other [[https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Special:Contributions?contribs=user&target=SPage+%28WMF%29&year=2015&month=2&limit=230 | documentation improvement]].
== Outreach programs ==
A [[ https://blog.wikimedia.org/2015/02/10/wikimedia-google-code-in-2014/ | blog post about Wikimedia's participation in Google Code-in 2014 was published ]] -- and then [[ http://google-opensource.blogspot.com/2015/02/google-code-in-2014-wrap-up-with.html | republished by Google ]].
[[ https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Outreachy/Round_9 | FOSS Outreach Program for Women round 9 ]] entered its closing phase. Now there are four projects with serious delays, the three last ones due to university exams. Still, delayed or not, the six ongoing projects are aiming to be completed during March.

Wikimedia [[ https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T921 | applied ]] to [[ https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Google_Summer_of_Code_2015 | Google Summer of Code 2015 ]] and [[ https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Outreachy/Round_10 | Outreachy round 10 ]] (was FOSS Outreach Program for Women, now refocused to more underreresented groups), and it was accepted in both.
== Phabricator migration ==
Phabricator [[ https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T86772 | was upgraded ]] and received [[ https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/maniphest/query/fPPFUr1hn13T/#R | several fixes ]] such as improved matching in the "Projects" dropdown proposals. Also, project links by default show the workboard (if set up) instead of the project summary, received a project bar on the left, and some URLs changed. The Sprint extension [[ https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T85455 | shows avatars on cards ]], is invoked by setting a checkbox in the project settings instead of using an "§" in the name, the [[ https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T88727 | Burndown chart does not depend on Maniphest task status ]] anymore, and supports [[ https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T819 | setting "Can Edit Task Status" and "Can Assign Tasks" policies ]] (currently not enabled). The [[ https://lists.wikimedia.org/pipermail/teampractices/2015-February/000621.html | full list of changes is available ]] and corresponding [[ https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/maniphest/query/BMWi79QYgxsk/#R | documentation was updated ]].
Regarding [[ https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T434 | migration of Wikimedia Foundation teams ]] to Phabricator, the [[ https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T828 | Collaboration team ]] migrated from Trello (thanks to improvements on the [[ https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T821 | Trello migration script ]]) and [[ https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T829|Language Engineering team ]] migrated from Mingle.
Phabricator's search was reverted from ElasticSearch to the MySQL backend, fixing [[ https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/maniphest/query/bidBhnbvH.XA/#R | numerous issues ]]. Furthermore, the separate [[ https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T87688 | legalpad.wikimedia.org was removed ]] (superseded by phabricator.wikimedia.org), work continued on [[ https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T85140 | turning Bugzilla into a static version ]]. The [[ https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T78617 | "Needs Volunteer" priority was renamed to "Lowest" ]], [[ https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T88443 | Gerrit repository ownership permission handling ]] moved fom the wiki to Phabricator, the [[ https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/maniphest/query/ElImlmCFcWJp/#R | documentation about the "Security" dropdown got improved ]], [[ https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T539 | Gadget-BugStatusUpdate.js got adapted to Phabricator ]], [[ https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T865 | email task creation instructions were clarified ]], the [[ https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T257 | "Export to Excel" button renamed ]], and [[ https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T75703 | guidelines for tracking tasks versus projects were written ]].
== Bug report management ==
[[ https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/maniphest/query/GnNGvM_E46MF/#R | Numerous projects were created or archived ]]. The Triage documentation received a section about [[ https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T85446 | Cookie licking ]].
