Thanks for the update! Just a couple questions/comments:

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
* Gabriel, Marko to look into cache invalidation / freshness stuff.
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?
