The rollouts have been going well so far so we're picking up the pace a bit. It'd be nice to have everything other than enwiki and dewiki deployed by Wikimania as that will be a great chance to see Nik and myself face to face and hopefully work through any bugs you're all still seeing. Here's the updated schedule:
nlwiki - July 14 jawiki - July 14 plwiki - July 16 ruwiki - July 16 svwiki - July 28 zhwiki - July 28 frwiki - July 30 dewiki - August 18 enwiki - August 20

We're in the home stretch with replacing the old search engine. I'd like to thank our many thousands of beta testers who opted in and provided their feedback throughout this process.
You might have noticed we've been rolling it out as the primary search engine on progressively more wikis. We're down to 11 of the largest wikis based on search traffic and we've put together a timeline for these:
commons - July 7 eswiki - July 9 nlwiki - July 14 plwiki - July 16 ruwiki - July 28 svwiki - July 30 zhwiki - August 13 dewiki - August 18 frwiki - August 20 jawiki - August 25 enwiki - August 27
It's basically 2 per week starting Monday with a weird break for Wikimania. Unless we find any last minute blockers I think we'll be done by the end of August :) If you find anything that's still a problem in Cirrus at all, even if it's minor and not a blocker please let us know in Bugzilla.
