Reading edit

Generally edit

  • Q3 planning
  • Strategic pillars set (web global south, Android social interactive reading / customized education, iOS iterative improvements for people who love to read), testing phases over coming quarter (notable: divert 1/1000 unauthenticated desktop users to mobile web, cookies-based mechanism)

Editing edit

Collaboration edit

  • Cross-wiki Echo notification work is still progressing well.
  • Flow external store patch is merged. Collaboration team needs to do follow-up
  • We need to follow up with DBA at some point about the Flow artificial primary keys.
  • Flow dumps code are merged, now we need to work with ops to get them running and published ( https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T119511 )
  • Following up on LQT->Flow conversion for ptwikibooks.
  • Previous approach to cross-DC Flow support was too slow. We're going to try a different approach.
  • Flow anti-spam integration also in-progress, particularly Nuke.

Language edit

  • yup, am aware of it, will do (Marko)
  • note: we'll need to coordinate for merging and deploying this, as this change will need an op/puppet change as well

Multimedia edit

Parsing edit

  • Added async support to parsoid's html -> wikitext serialization -- required to support serialization scenarios that require template data lookup or mediawiki API calls

  • FY16Q3 draft goals published @ https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T119088
