Task Wall

QA still has two hard to repro bugs affecting browser tests, and needs some help figuring them out (maybe from platform and VE respectively?) [1], [2]
Growth, Multimedia, and Mobile Web have ongoing blocked dependencies on the Editor team (see wall)

Request for New Card: Major refactors (see especially https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/#/q/owner:%22Yurik+%253Cyurik%2540wikimedia.org%253E%22,n,z): ZeroRatedMobileAccess being split into ZeroBanner and ZeroPortal with reliance on JsonConf
New Card created: Avoid unprompted MediaViewer on zerodot version of Wikipedia Zero (mdot, it's all good) - Tablet redirect is slated for June 17, which plays some part in timing
#57 Firefox OS exploration: no movement. Incidentally, rotation bug reported. Thought: should we focus on making Wikipedia a first class search target in FFOS with the native browser?
#2 ESI Headers or GIFification: RFC noted in email from Sumana now, too
#108 memcached / httpGet config pull issue

Dictionary UI - done. Can be tested at http://language-stage.wmflabs.org/w/ .
Working on Link tools in the translation editor.
Niklas needs to work with Nik about the Elastic Search migration. ( https://wikimedia.mingle.thoughtworks.com/projects/scrum_of_scrums/cards/80 )

preliminary work to use the wikipedia zero partner config from the private portal
started a new search for a Full Stack Engineer
looked into an issue where it looked like embedded CSS resources were being accessed as URIs via http (we saw these strange requests in the logs, at high rates) They seem to come from Vector Beta

Written in absentia, Roan couldn't attend today
Roan back to full-time starting today :)
Timo wrote patch for the hard part of #97; Roan to review
#99 stalled AFAIK; Roan might have time to review
Roan accidentally did some work on #84 (to fix bugs); will work on it more this week
Trevor still working on #100; has changed tack a little bit per request from mobile on Monday

rcstream, making good progress
HHVM, good progress on packaging front (Faidon) and MediaWiki puppet manifests (Ori, Guiseppe)
Hadoop moving to CDH5

(new card) #116 Make mobile context as a second toolbar possible: When we started VE on mobile we decided to hide the context (a small popup that shows up when you click on a link/reference/other elements). When working on editing existing references we decided it will be easier if we instead reimplement it as a second line toolbar on mobile. Trevor is doing the groundwork.
Tablet redirect on June 17, no VE in stable version of mobile yet though

Focusing mostly on GuidedTour improvements, both behavior and UX improvements. Includes a new light-weight module to improve performance. Still waiting for review on getAllStyleFiles patch (#99 on wall)

Only one card in the wall for us, and honestly we have only ourselves to blame for not pestering Krinkle every fifteen minutes to finish it
Deployment to enwiki and dewiki went off without anything *objectively* bursting into flames, but be aware that thar be trolls
Work on Aaron's SHA1 storage patch is ongoing, once we have a big ol' pile of phpunit things covering it, it should be moving forward
There was also some analytics cross-team stuff re: our massive use of the eventlogging hosts. We've fixed* it.
