 * HipHop packaging
 * After working with User:Mdupont on the HipHop packaging, I announced our work on Wikitech-l and Tim offered a better solution than what we were doing. I still want to get the packagin better.


 * Triage prep
 * The longer I do triages the better I become. This week, I took care of making a public calendar available for Triages. This plus a bit of plannning ahead will hopefully mean greater participaton.
 * For the Wikibooks/Wikisource triage this week, I started using talk pages such as Wikisource's Scriptorium. This also resulted in a lot of build-up activity on the etherpad


 * Bug handling
 * While I've managed to keep a good handle on incoming bug reports, I'm afraid I haven't managed to stay on top of traffic on old bugs. Mostly, I'll claim this is the fault of the 1.18 deployment and my focus on it.  But in the end, I still have a lot of bug mail to slog through.


 * Stats, Stats, and more Stats
 * There is a ton of information that could be better digested and presented. Lifetime of a bug is one such piece of information.
 * For example, a good graph to have (and work on pushing the line down on) would be the average length of time a bug has been open. Hopefully this has been going down as I've been concentrating on the bugbase, but currently we have no way of knowing.
 * Getting at this information, though, is going to mean that I have to develop some tools or gain an understanding of, say, R, Processing, RRDtool, or (most likely for now) jqPlot.
