*Updates for editors*

- The Reader Experience team https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Special:MyLanguage/Readers/Reader_Experience is conducting an experiment to show the reading lists https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Special:MyLanguage/Readers/Reader_Experience/Reading_lists feature, which is still in development, to logged-out mobile readers to test whether it encourages account creation at a higher rate compared to the watchstar button. The experiment https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Special:MyLanguage/Readers/Reader_Experience/Reading_lists#Experiment_timeline was launched on May 18th on German, Spanish, Italian, Portuguese, Polish, Dutch, Turkish, and Urdu wikis, and it will run for a month. - The Wikimedia Apps team released Phase 1 https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Special:MyLanguage/Wikimedia_Apps/Team/Explore_Feed_Refresh/Phase_1 of the redesigned Home Feed to the Android Beta app. The new Home Feed includes a refreshed "Community" tab and a personalized "For You" tab featuring daily updated reading recommendations. The redesign is part of a broader effort to improve content discovery and create more engaging learning experiences in the Wikipedia apps. - View all 18 community-submitted tasks that were resolved last week https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Special:MyLanguage/Tech/News/Recently_resolved_community_tasks.
