Hello all,
This is the monthly update from the Readers team at the Wikimedia
Foundation for August 2018.
Feedback and questions are encouraged.
==Discussions==
=== Apps===
* 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. [4] These are
recommendations not guidelines and some are more feasible/easy to
change then others. We ask that you raise awareness and contribute to
the talk page with any questions, suggestions you have.
*Web has updated the Advanced mobile contributions project page and
shared outcomes from Wikimania interviews. [4]
* We are close to running an A/B test for mobile friendly page issues
- you can get a sneak preview on our staging instance which will
present the new treatment 50% of the time. [5]

ParallelMaintenance helper class for multi-process maintenance scripts

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
