- The Android team has been hard at work on a limited beta test of a
subset of echo notifications in the app, designed to encourage repeat contributions. [0] Check out the full update on our |project page. [1]
- iOS released a major redesign of the app's Explore feed, adding the
ability to customize the content on your home screen and make it easier to mix content from across languages. [2] A small follow-up bug fix update will be released early next week. iOS also made progress on design research on Wikitext editing: Watch our project page for updates soon.[3]
=== Web ===
- Web team have begun compiling a list of common problems that they
wrestle with trying to make our content mobile friendly. The end result is Recommendations for mobile friendly articles.

Hi All,
A friendly reminder that TechCom is hosting a RFC discussion on RfC: ParallelMaintenance helper class for multi-process maintenance scripts https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T201970. This RFC aims to parallelize long running maintenance scripts to allow them to be spread out across multiple CPUs.
The meeting is scheduled for 5 September at 2pm PST(21:00 UTC, 23:00 CET) in #wikimedia-office. If you haven't joined a #wikimediaoffice meeting before more information can be found here: https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/IRC_office_hours#How_to_participate
More information regarding the TechCom RFC process is available here: https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Wikimedia_Technical_Committee/Processes#RFC_process
Thanks,
Kate -- Kate Chapman TechCom Facilitator (Contractor)
