The Search Platform Team
<https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Wikimedia_Search_Platform> will be holding
office hours the first Wednesday of each month, starting next week. Come
ask us anything about Wikimedia search!
We’re particularly interested in:
* Opportunities for collaboration—internally or externally to the Wikimedia
Foundation
* Challenges you have with on-wiki search, in any of the languages we
support
But we're happy to talk about anything search-related.
Details for our next meeting:
Date: Wednesday, October 3rd, 2018
Time: 15:00 GMT / 08:00 PDT / 11:00 EDT / 17:00 CEST
Google Meet link: https://meet.google.com/vyc-jvgq-dww
*N.B.:* Google Meet System Requirements

See you there!

Hello,
This is the weekly update from the Search Platform team for the week
starting 2018-08-27.
A short update this week. Use the extra bits for something good. :)
As always, feedback and questions welcome.
== Discussions ==
=== Wikidata Query Service (WDQS) ===
* Installing new disks for diskspace extension in public cluster, longer
lags possible, please bear with it.
* Categories are updated from daily diffs in internal cluster now, enabling
public cluster after all disks are installed.
