- A UX design heuristic evaluation was conducted and results turned into
Phabricator tasks for 3D file (STL) support.
That sounds interesting! Is the analysis shared somewhere? I told people about heuristic analysis and I would be very happy to have some practical demonstration of what one can expect when I create one. (It seems less known than testing by/with users so it is particularly helpful to have a graspable representation)

Hello, Here we are again. Another month, and another update from the Readers (previously Reading) department at the Wikimedia Foundation. One more month of these and we'll have a turkey. :) [0]
==Discussions==

=== Web ===
- Moving the intro above the infobox on mobile web lead a significant
increase on performance metrics [3]
=== New Readers ===
- New Reader updates can be found at Meta [4]
=== Multimedia ===
- A UX design heuristic evaluation was conducted and results turned into
Phabricator tasks for 3D file (STL) support. A number of design refinements are being turned into a specification. The team has been prioritizing and working on 3D tasks in anticipation of a future launch. In the forthcoming month, additional consultation will be done on the wikis about potential moderation considerations for the 3D file (STL) type. [5]
=== Discovery === The Discovery team provides weekly updates. Here are their updates for June.
