Hey everyone,

I'm writing with plans for the Wikimedia iOS engineering team to move its workflow to GitHub with Travis CI, much like RESTbase.

The Wikimedia iOS engineers have been maintaining their own CI and build server and using Gerrit for code review. The more time efficient and commonplace approach for open source iOS software development leans heavily on GitHub with Travis CI instead (e.g., WordPress[0][1] and Firefox[2][3]). By using GitHub with Travis CI, the team believes it will work faster, improve testing, grow developer confidence in making code changes, and, most importantly, deploy fewer bugs to production.

For builds requiring sensitive information (e.g., prod certs), will continue to run on WMF's Mac Mini. As is done for Android, when betas are pushed, the team will notify mobile-l.

Feel free to reply or email me directly with any questions or comments.

Regards,

Brian
