* Elasticsearch doesn't offer language analyzers for every language that we have wikis in, so sometimes we fall back to a language analyzer of a (linguistically or geopolitically) related language. This can lead to unexpected effects—such as changes in the Russian language analyzer affecting Ukrainian; or changes needed for Ukrainian maybe having to be made in the Russian language analyzer, unless we special-case them by language (which could affect T146358). [1]  If you have any thoughts on this or just want to see the fallback language list, head over to the Fallback Languages page and leave a comment, or reply to the Discovery list. [2]

* Translate extension updated to allow searches in a specific language (without translations) [3]

* Satisfaction schema update for checkin events on if page is visible [4]

* Update the ascii folding to preserve original emits that are duplicated tokens for non ascii characters [5]

* Update the search api interwiki to only query when srinterwiki=1 is passed [6]

* Reduce the number of replicas for some title suggest indices [7]

* Analysis of WDQS geographic breakdown of SPARQL queries [8]

* Wikipedia.org Portal Dashboard: investigate spike in languages visited [9]

* Wikipedia.org dashboard: minor updates [10]

* Bug in current data retrieval script [11]

* Add comment to search-related eventlogging in iOS and Android apps to inform Discovery of changes [12]

(works in progress, needing code review or waiting to be released into production)

* Improve color palette [13]

* Update for new translations [14]

* Update articles by language statistics [15]

* Test for adding app links to page [16]

* Update WMF logo [17]

* Fix where a language link broke on two lines [18]

* Few other small updates...

* GeoJSON can now contain un-encoded SPARQL (query and ids ExternalData properties): example [19]

* There is now "geoshape" and "geoline" types of ExternalData - one is for polygons (e.g. cities, countries), and the other is for lines (roads, rivers). As always, make sure OpenStreetMap has WikidataID attached to be able to use them.

* Many minor Kartographer bug fixes [20]

* Deb has started integrating slowly into the Discovery Interactive Team as a quasi-Product Manager

* Dan and Deb will split up PM duties of the Discovery Search Team in the coming weeks
