1.19 push is in earnest now!


 * Code Review
 * I held two code review sessions on Monday and Tuesday. The most code left for review was — and is — Aaron's new work on FileBackend.  Tim is probably the main reviewer of that code, but Aaron is very prolific.
 * Other code review work was mostly ensuring that the MediaWiki 1.19/Revision report was kept up to date and that code was tagged usefully.
 * After tagging a number of FIXMEs “nodeploy” (see AFTv5, below), I also modified the script that creates the revision report so that it wouldn't include those revisions in the FIXME list.


 * 1.19 blocker triage
 * We had a triage meeting to go over the bugs tagged for 1.19 and reduced the list a little.


 * AFTv5 review nagging
 * After discussion with other developers and realizing that the Article Feedback Tool didn't really impede deployment, despite having a substantial number of FIXME, I was able to tag them “nodeploy”.


 * Beta.wmflabs.org
 * Work is mostly done on this and I've handed off any ongoing coordination to User:Reedy. With Guillome's help, I also published a post on the WMF blog that brought enough curious users to the beta cluster to make it run out of memory)
