Hello,

Welcome to your weekly Roadmap highlights email. This documents the changing present and planned future of the work that the WMF Engineering teams are doing.

== Highlights from the Roadmap updates ==

(As this is the last update to the roadmap for the month, there aren't very many updates)

=== Ops ===

Ceph deployment is planned for Monday (April 29th). This will enable multi-write (going to our current NFS '''as well as''' the Ceph based filesystem) but only reading from NFS.

This is part of the Multimedia work: http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Multimedia

=== Analytics ===

Mostly worked on mobile stuff in April and the Kraken initial base cluster deploy has moved to May. http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Analytics/Infrastructure

=== Features ===

Echo deploying to English Wikipedia is happening this month, under the wire on Tuesday April 30th. http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Echo_%28Notifications%29

EventLogging for UserLogin and AccountCreation is now in MW Core, but it is only accessible/in use when passing a specific URL parameter. http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Event_logging

=== Platform ===

The platform team will be partnering with the i18n team to work on the Chinese category collation work as it requires code review, UX work, etc. This is expected for June. See: https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=44667

=== i18n ===

Planning to deploy Universal Language Selector (ULS) in May. http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Universal_Language_Selector
