Hi,
I have remarks regarding the newsletter.
(1) ‘The Wikimedia servers use HHVM to run the PHP code. They are going
to use PHP7 instead.’ → Does this mean PHP7 will be installed (so this
is an upgrade of PHP) and HHVM will no longer be used? If it’s not the
case, what does ‘instead’ refer to?
It does – the maintainers of HHVM will not maintain PHP language compatibility:

Do you think it needs to be clarified?
(2) Do the two problems talk about the same thing? It
looks like it’s
so, but the first one is not fixed while the second one is fixed. ‘When
someone moves a page to a name that already exists that page is
deleted.’ → Is the page that is moved which is deleted?
Indeed. Towards the bottom of my email I wrote this:

Should have put it at the top, there's no reason for you to read to
the bottom of something you see every week, of course. Do tell me if
you think I should have a different approach in cases like these – my
assumption was that translating another few sentences from the
beginning is less work than potentially going back later, or less
annoying than having your translation become outdated.
