rsvg: After chasing down the rsvg bug and filing a patch against the RT ticket, Tim wasn't able to get my fix to work. However, he did give his ok if it passed his provided test. I didn't see his response til Friday because RT doesn't email me follow ups for some reason. I'll use his test to verify my update and then ask Ops to deploy the fix.

Deployment prep: Because we have WMF Labs now, I've been able to work with a couple of volunteers to get MediaWiki 1.19 tested using deployment.wmflabs.org. I would still like to get Lucene search working here, but I'm very excited about this.

Code review: Code Review is stumbling along. Rob scheduled a triage on the harder parts of CR and we've already set up an etherpad to focus on this.

Patch review: After a getting several patche reviewed last week (see daily log, below), Robla suggested that I post a weekly list of new patches to wikitech-l. I did and already people have been applying fixes.

Possible new committer? Nikola Kovacs: While going through patches, I noticed that Nikola Kovacs had provided a few for AbuseFilter. Maybe a new maintainer?

rsvg bug
- The RT ticket just had a tarfile of the updated debian directory. Tim wanted a diff from the current package. I updated my package to create a more minimal diff and asked him to review again.
