Reading

Generally

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)

Android and Mobile Content Service

Content Service is slated to start rolling out Monday.
Map functionality to be promoted from beta to prod next release.
Moving long running tests from Gerrit triggers to periodic.
Moving more content from WebView to native components.
Wiktionary service endpoint and client implementations in progress.

Web

Cards security review (Gergo will yield GPGMail)
5% mobile web beta CTA (call to action?) to be suppressed
Browser test failures now only go to qa-alerts
Potential image progressive loading / not srcset-based

iOS

Gearing up for Beta w/ non WMF users
Universal Links (phabricator:T97785??) work is "blocked" on getting a staging environment for prototyping Universal Links behavior & user flows

Reading Infrastructure

Block: Need replies to the replies on the SessionManager security review.
- Reply to https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T90895#1802168 would be nice too.
Block: ApiSandbox is still blocked on whoever owns oojs-ui for https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T91148 - ACTION! let's figure out an alternative approach (James F suggests separate component in mw.Widgets)
Two questions for Services or Multimedia or whoever: https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T66214#1842439 - ACTION! email thread, keep discussion on task, though

Editing

Collaboration

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

cxserver service-runner patch needs review: https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/#/c/244145/ (service team)

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

Found an unfortunate i18n OOUI bug for people using mw.Widgets but not VE. Fixed in master, going to ask for a backport. https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T119984

Parsing

Added async support to parsoid's html -> wikitext serialization -- required to support serialization scenarios that require template data lookup or mediawiki API calls
Work in progress to support native tag extensions in Parsoid ( https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T55874 )
Using deployment lull to do some code cleanup and refactoring.
FY16Q3 draft goals published @ https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T119088

VisualEditor

Big IME support change likely to land in master today. Shouldn't impact anyone inc. Collaboration's Flow usage. (unless they use IMEs).

Fundraising Tech

Campaign is up, making big bucks
Nothing on fire so far
