It's great to see this written down. I'd assumed that the Mobile Web *teams* were now responsible for maintaining those extensions and had been triaging bugs that landed in the mediawiki-extension-MobileFrontend and mobile-web projects as such.
Max: would you be up for a doing a techmosis – a recored presentation – covering all of those features? Specifically, I'd like to hear the areas that need improving.

Hi all -
Max Semenik, now on Search & Discovery (he's been working on geo stuff for a while), spoke with me earlier today about transferring Reading-oriented extension components / API endpoints off his plate. I'll add the bullet points to the Etherpad for the recurring APIs/Services meeting instance tomorrow.
API action=mobileview : the apps are heavy users of this endpoint.
pageimages extension: Max noted that the algorithm needs improvement for
targeting the "best" image.
featuredfeeds extension (RSS/Atom)
TextExtracts is still an open question. Max said he can maintain it in
maintenance mode, if necessary. But if there's interest in Reading taking over future work on this, that would be even better. Max noted the persistence of the results is an area for improvement. Incidentally, some people have been communicating about this stuff today.
Thanks. -Adam
