*Between the Brackets* Yaron Koren produced a 30 minute digest of previous episodes of this podcast. Much of the episode will be understandable by people who are not developers but are familiar with how MediaWiki works. I enjoyed listening to this: https://betweenthebrackets.libsyn.com/episode-8-btb-digest-1

*Reports from Wikimedia Conference 2018 participants* I especially appreciated this detailed report from Peaceray and Joe Mabel which mentions a wide range of subjects including Structured Data on Commons, Learning Days, possible ways to incorporate more diverse citations into Wikipedia, lightning talks, libraries and partnerships, and general thoughts about the conference: https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Cascadia_Wikimedians/2018_Wikimedia_Conferen....
