Happy Thursday to y'all! Let's do the run-down.
== Media Viewer ==
This project is winding to a merciful close - we're seeing the final few patches going out this week and next, and we're switching our work focus to UploadWizard and other smaller projects.
There is an RFC [0] on English Wikipedia to remove the viewer by default, which has been closed. The WMF has decided not to disable the viewer by default, but refer to the talk page [1] for the latest.
There are also RFCs on Commons [2] and dewiki [3].
== UploadWizard ==
We're starting work on planning and metrics for this part of our upload pipeline. We've started tracking our work on refactoring the software in Phabricator [4][5], and we have a bigger patch out [6] that's looking to make the codebase a little more in line with more modern code conventions in various extensions.
We also have some work underway to replace outdated one-use libraries with more modern, widely re-usable software.
== Core work ==
We have a few changes open to make thumbnailing a little faster and also easier to handle. The platform team is reviewing those changes and we should push them out in the next few weeks.
== Other ==
If I've missed something you have questions on, feel free to bother the list! Have a nice week, all.
