    • let’s see.. ;)

Apps edit

  • https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T94915 Server API contract change for CAPTCHAs that broke account creation on both apps - although this specific case is particularly spurious (technically speaking, tests would only work sometimes if using OCR), the general principle of API polling (e.g., Cucumber REST cases) is going to be examined in hopes of earlier spotting these issues in production (and perhaps lower environments as appropriate).
  • iOS app update approved, slated to go live Monday, 13-April

Mobile Web edit

  • Released Gather to Wikipedia a week ago - making further improvements, discussing with community
  • Jenkins build issues - seems to be randomly failing

Fundraising Tech edit

Services edit

Editing edit

  • Joel Auftrecht (embedded from Team Practices Group) started on Monday
  • OOjs UI 0.9.7 released on Friday
    • Previous was 0.9.4; we went to 0.9.7 because we screwed up while releasing (twice!), tainting 0.9.5 and 0.9.6
  • Mobile VE should be less broken now (i.e. link tools should actually load now)
  • Test coverage for VE: https://integration.wikimedia.org/cover/visualeditor


Analytics edit

  • Event Logging outage Monday lost data for at most five hours. We can not recover this data because it was due to the disk being full and logs could not be written.
  • Dashboard for Visual Editor is ready to look at, and is updated daily: https://edit-analysis.wmflabs.org/compare/. The data coming into Event Logging still has some pretty serious problems and we have a lot of caveats for anyone who wants to draw serious conclusions from it. (Come talk to team analytics if you want details).
