=== Reading ===
==== Web ==== Blocked on Ops - need ability to do a 50% roll out of lazy loaded images. BBlack is looking into this, waiting for his feedback. Popups (hovercards) A/B test to be run on Hungarian wiki - finalising pre work. UX changes to search on mobile web
==== Android ====
==== iOS ==== * Crash fixes
==== Mobile Content Service ==== * Started implementing first "Explore feed" endpoints: featured article https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T132764 * Naming of feed endpoints discussion in progress at https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T132597. (Make your voice heard by Thursday, May 19)
==== Reading Infrastructure === * AuthManager core is merged! Also fixes for bundled extensions! And backported to 1.27! * Work continues on other WMF-deployed extensions, see T110282. Every extension that we know needs updates has a subtask there. ** If you see in that list an extension you maintain, and have some time this week, please help out! Many of those tasks are very simple and setting up the environment / figuring out how to test would take up most of our time. You can find an update guide at
https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:SessionManager_and_AuthManager/Updatin... ** JsonConfig could use help from someone familiar with that extension (yurik?), see T135074. If nothing else, confirm it won't affect WMF and we can remove it from blocking T110282. ** TranslationNotifications could use help from someone familiar with that extension (Language team?), see T110766.
=== Community Tech === * Working on CopyPatrol tool (currently at http://tools.wmflabs.org/plagiabot) * Collaborating with TCB team on RevisionSlider tool ( https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:RevisionSlider) ** Needs Security Review - probably beginning of July * Still pushing on category sorting ( https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T58041, https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T8948, https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T128806, etc.) ** jcrespo adding new indexes for us ( https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T130692)

==== Parsing ==== (Subbu not going to be around .. just an update) * Moves afoot to migrate Parsoid cluster to Jessie / node v4 -- discussion on https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T135176 about options since Parsoid puppet code has hardcoded refs to upstart. This probably affects the beta cluster config as well. Working with Services and Ops. * Kunal has been working on Linker::link() rewrite -- see email discussion on wikitech-l (Subject: Linker::link() rewrite) * Option to split data-mw out of the HTML is now ready in Parsoid. HTML2HTML to convert between Parsoid HTML versions close to being done. Appreciate clients (CX, VE) thinking about how they want to work with the new version where data-mw is no longer inline. This eliminates the additional html2html conversion once this new version becomes the default version. * Tidy replacement work ongoing. https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Parsing/Replacing_Tidy will continue to have updates.
