2. High priority task: Rebranding
   • T15077: Rebrand: Tracking task
   • No diffs yet.
   • Problem: A ton of work...
   • Wikimedia has a translation importer/exporter tool that could perhaps help here. https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/source/phabricator-translations/
   • Diviner: Perhaps we can add a banner stating that Phorge is derived from Phabricator to our public-facing documentation. This might buy some time for us to complete the rebrand.
   • Dan wants to investigate Rector to see if it will make rebrand easier. Handed as an action item.
3. Spammers
   • Automated deployment from our own git repo?
   • https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/source/phabricator-ava/ - Useful, potential to migrate into upstream at a future date.
   • It's a really good idea to limit users before they're part of Trusted Contributors
   • Another useful tool is Askimet: https://github.com/aag/mwakismet - Perhaps we can integrate that into the Phorge code with a configuration option?
   • T15084: Discussion: Maniphest vs Ponder for user support might also perhaps help. We should lock down most everything to Trusted Contributors on this install, except perhaps Ponder.
   • Better moderation tools also help
     • Unbundling of Administrator tools might be useful? WMF does that.
     • We could use Projects for that - WMF does that. This gives more granular control but is something we would need to code.
     • How do we support open source better? Phabricator is designed closed-source first, but open-source projects have adopted it. Open-Source support is a high priority.

Action Items
