* 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.

Yes, this is something we should support. We already set a versioned ETag, but don't validate If-Match requests yet. Should be easy to add. Tracked in https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T90633.
 
 
* 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.

Some pointers for content massaging:
