Just an FYI, a recent change in the selenium gem is causing the bot
Barry to report false positives for MobileFrontend patches. If you see
a -1 from him on your MobileFrontend patch, please read the log in the
mean time - if only 2 tests are failing it's highly likely your patch
is fine.
+2ers please consult the log prior to merging and overriding Barry's
-1 whilst the upstream bug [1] remains unfixed.
QAers the problem seems to be related to a recent change to the
selenium gem that requires a new user for new page creations. Would be
great to fix this...

The Reading Web team kicked off Sprint 52 today [1].
Work undertaken in this sprint will include rounding out the efforts that
were started in the previous sprint to increase test coverage and a create
a staging environment for testing and review, and diving in to performance
goals with an audit of the mobile site [2], which will inform
highest-priority performance improvements going forward.
Also, we have reached the end of the alphabet for our movie sprint naming
scheme! New sprint naming ideas are welcome :-)

There's a ticket for removing mobile.wikipedia.org and wap.wikipedia.org
domains/subdomains, which are legacy domain names superseded by
m.wikipedia.org and its subdomains.
https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T104942
The rationale for the removal of these legacy domain names is to help
support HSTS preloading in browsers with the existing TLS SAN cert.
After review of the ticket, can anyone think of a compelling reason to keep
those old domain names?
I opened a separate thread about this on wikitech-l under a different
subject about this as well.

picker

Pages, etc.)
* Improved text alignment for mixed left-to-right and right-to-left
languages
* Improved page caching

This might be interesting to some folks:

It works, I've tested it locally, I just got sidetracked when I was trying
to install a local jenkins slave or something so I could test it in labs.
If someone wants to adopt this, I'd love to see it find a loving home.

This time we only had Gabriel from the RESTBase services team and myself
from the Android/Mobile Content service team attending.
We basically talked about the status of the Mobile Content Service and
plans to moving forward.
See the notes at https://etherpad.wikimedia.org/p/ReadingAPIServices.
Cheers,
Bernd
