Hello out there, Multimedia nation! Let's run down the highlights of this week.
== Media Viewer release ==
We're continuing our release of Media Viewer. Last Tuesday, it went out to English Wikipedia and German Wikipedia. The Thursday before that, it went out to all Wikisources. There have been a lot of interesting results from those releases - lots of feedback and helpful people :)
We're also tracking community feedback of negative nature - a lot of the on-wiki communities are asking useful questions and working with us, but some are unconvinced that the feature is ready for prime-time. Stand by, as decisions aren't currently finalized on this front.
We will probably be stepping up our work on Media Viewer, at least on a temporary basis, to keep ahead of community concerns.
== Annual planning, reviews ==
One of our big timesinks in the past few weeks has been the annual review and planning process, which came to a head in the May/June border time range. I think it's all sorted out, for the most part, now, so our dev and product teams should be back at full strength.
== UploadWizard ==
We had a big ol' meeting about UploadWizard last Monday, wherein we discussed what our plan was going to be for tackling improvements to it.
Basically, we intend to work heads-down on UploadWizard, for about 40% of our time per week, until WLM is over. This plan is subject to change (see above re: Media Viewer), but we'll try our best to push out a nice upgraded wizard for the campaign folks in September.
I'll probably follow up some time in the future to talk more about this as we come to a more solid plan, technically. The work leading up to WLM will involve a lot of fixes to the codebase and even more bugfixes, so the tech team needs to get together and hash out an attack vector.
== Other things ==
That SHA1 patch that we were talking about is still up in the air, and wouldn't mind some more attention [0]. In general I'm going to try to keep track of out-of-focus things (which are things the team isn't actively scheduling in a week) on a MediaWiki.org page [1] so y'all (and we) can keep track of them more easily.
== Anything else? ==
This has been a whirlwind of a week; if you have questions about other stuff that I haven't touched on, let me know.

I like the style of this update.
An UW question: Where's the best place to discuss adding fields for subject identifiability & consent? And adding a one-link process for "email (c) clearance or consent to OTRS"?
This is the sort of field-set that might only show up for images/media where it seems likely to be appropriate.
On the design side, there's the question of how to add this without slowing the upload process for media that don't include people. For instance, it could be an expandable set of fields, which when not filled default to "unknown identifiability / unknown consent".
On the technical side, there are great face-identification tools out there. (in this instance, those could be used to modify those defaults and expand the fields on upload.)

Thanks, Sam!
This summer’s Upload Wizard focus is on fixing lots of bugs, doing some code refactoring and making minor improvements on the UI.
But we are including personality rights in our plan for Structured Data, and will post about this project soon.
So they’re on the radar, but are likely to be implemented later in the year, given our heavy workload this summer.

I have some vague plans for the latter, would love to hear what other people think about it: https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/User:Tgr_(WMF)/Post-upload_permission_request...
In general, this list is the right place for discussing UploadWizard suggestions, IMO.
