Phab tasks
[edit]Tentative agenda
[edit]- Short intro + status: RESTBase && MA
- MA current data- and workflow
- Mobile service brainstorm
Action items
[edit]- Wait for RESTBase to be deployed [Owner: All of us, but especially Monte]
- Figure out exactly the data and workflow that we'd like to have [Owner: Adam/Dmitry]
- Design the API that would ideally serve the mobile app's use cases [Owner: Adam/Dmitry, with Services Team]
Notes
[edit]- Would be a benefit to share transforms between IOS & Android
- Want generally uniform rendering
- CSS, JS rendering on mobile
- Currently transforms done in JS on DOM, can reuse if using JS environment like node
- Ownership: MA owns transforms, services helps to wrap in service
- section loading: would be good to preserve lead section / rest split
- maybe not with SPDY
- Unversioned/changing APIs are a major source of client-side breakage
Wishlist for service
[edit]- image metadata for all images in article
- Arbitrary Wikidata properties (not just description)
- May be possible since RESTBase can cache the result of the query
- We need to make sure not to fall into the trap of not pushing people to build scalable APIs
