That bug is the biggest source of test failures right now. The overnight
Firefox build had two failures, both of them caused by failure to set the
on/off toggles without incurring a cookie error.
I'm seeing lots of tests failing with "too many connection resets (due
to Net::ReadTimeout - Net::ReadTimeout) after 2 requests on
70020846470700, last used 60.008243583 seconds ago
(Net::HTTP::Persistent::Error)"
e.g. https://wmf.ci.cloudbees.com/job/MobileFrontend-en.m.wikipedia.beta.wmflabs…
Long term view: How do we stop these?
Short term view: It would be useful if no email notifications were
generated when this happens or these failures were filtered from test
results...
We've setup email addresses for apps feedback from within the forthcoming
reboots of the Wikipedia for Android (android(a)wikimedia.org) and Wikipedia
for iOS apps (ios(a)wikimedia.org), which will allow anyone to send email
feedback by tapping Feedback in-app, but due to the sometimes personal
nature of feedback stuff is configured to only allow those with a strict
need to know to read the feedback.
We decided to split into two email addresses instead of one because of the
likelihood of users modifying the Subject line or Body in a way where it
wouldn't be evident which platform they're using. It also keeps the backing
mechanism, Google Groups, cleaner for the users who have read access to it.
An additional suggestion was to break things up into more email addresses
to accommodate for the other apps, possibly using aliases to divert the
messages to the existing two groups. For example:
apps-ios-wikipedia(a)wikimedia.org > ios(a)wikimedia.org
apps-ios-commons(a)wikimedia.org > ios(a)wikimedia.org
apps-android-wikipedia(a)wikimedia.org > android(a)wikimedia.org
apps-android-commons(a)wikimedia.org > android(a)wikimedia.org
Yuvi suggested we ought to bring this discussion onto mobile-l. Any
feedback on going from two to four email addresses (and possibly more
depending if more apps are created for these platforms)?

The mobile web team ran a retrospective for its last iteration. I'm
sending it to mobile-l in case other teams out there are interested in
our working practices. In particular we tried out a "One word agile
retrospective" for a change.
You can find the notes here [1]:
Also I moved a few of the previous retrospectives to sub pages of this
page [2] to make them easier in future to find in future. Not sure if
the app team also wants to do this?

Relevant to the list, I think :)

Hi Monte,
The most mockups from Mobile Web mockups for 'Edit History of an article'
now reside happily in this trello board.
https://trello.com/c/0b7GwiXl/78-design
I'm on board if you want to re-use the mobile web view in a browser.
Yuvi has already hacked a list of contributors.
I'm working on the long term badass design solutions for this =]
These mockups have confessed that they are happy to make a brief appearance
in apps.
:)

Just as with the FF vs. Chrome, a new one:
search.feature contains the line
And The URL of the page should contain "Main%20Page"
All of a sudden this fails on the Cloudbees host but passes on my local
machine.[1]
We should probably decide on a rule for URL checking, the tests are all
over the place with that.

Subject: [zero] reducing image quality
Spoke with Max, and wrote an RFC of what we intend to do. The last
portion might need a bit more thinking of who exactly will get the
original image quality.
