 * Bugzilla vandalism-fighting
 * Got Ops to deploy a patch that allows designated people to delete comments. Because, as User:^demon pointed out, I made it depend on the “deletecomments” group in Bugzilla.  Deleteing this user group deletes the ability. TODO: Make sure the code is in svn. Get bz right restricted correctly


 * Fundraising Triage
 * I held a very lightly attended fundraising triage. There was enough interest in a CentralNotice issue, though, that they may see some work done on there.


 * Re-connected with Mike DuPont re HipHop
 * He is really swamped right now, so I might have to find some other help or look at his work so far. I'm too thrilled with the HipHop virtual machines that Facebook has released, but that is just me.  Ops may have another view on the virtual machines, though.


 * Commons familiarity
 * Today, I saw a great set of Lawrence Lessig and Jack Abramoff pictures that were uploaded to Flickr but had a CC-by-SA license. After pinging Chris Bell on IRC to see if he wanted to upload them to [Wikimedia Commons], I asked how to upload the files irc and User:Saibo, created a TUSC account and went ahead and used flickr2commons to upload his pics.  (I also talked to Chris Bell on IRC and made sure that the attribution to Madeleine Ball was ok.)
 * This was a great chance for me to get more familiar with Commons and the tools that are used there.
