I was happy to read about the new features in the latest release of the Wikimedia Commons app for Android. My understanding is the app is developed and maintained by community members with funding from WMF and GSoC in addition to volunteer time.
Also, I was happy to see GSoC participants introducing themselves and their projects on Wikitech-l.
I am grateful to the WMF staff who are listening and responding civilly to the questions and comments on MediaWiki regarding the page previews feature. The project plan appears to have been designed thoughtfully.
Finally, I liked reading portions of English Wikipedia's article about CubeSats.
What's making you happy this week? You are welcome to comment in any language.

This seems to be a correct understanding, indeed.

I'm happy about the fact that reading lists are now synced in the Wikipedia App with the Wikipedia account you use in it. Further, the syncing is done in both Android and iOS and works across both platforms. o further add to it, work is being done to enable reading lists for the web [1]! Though it has been a few weeks since the change has been deployed, I noticed the announcement just recently.
I'm also happy about the fact that the Wikimedia Commons Android app is considering the usage of a fairly new and experimental RESTBase endpoint (/page/media) for introducing a new feature to the app [2]. Feel free to chime in to the discussion to provide your related thoughts/suggestions.
