Bernd, Dmitry, and I met with Gabriel and Marko from the services team. Notes:
- Bernd to use https://github.com/wikimedia/service-template-node as a
starting point

Usually, for the mobile apps the latest non-stale response is what's wanted by the client.
I'd also like to add an "if-modified-since" support, so we can send GET requests but only have data sent back over the wire if it's newer than Revision X or some etag has expired, etc.
- Apps team should engage with services on getting the mapping and other
fronting service requirements for rest.wikimedia.org deployed.
- The first target service is for something akin to what would be required
by a "Wikipedia Lite" experience, similar in terms of data transformation to OCG, Kiwix, Text Extracts.
Why aren't we doing something to solve a problem w/ the current apps? For example, aggregating image info and article info together into one response?
