Reading/Quarterly planning/FY2016-2017/Q1

Brainstorming Guidelines

 * Ideas for Q1 should align with each platform's focus areas, as identified in our strategy: Reading/Strategy/2016-2017 plan, specifically:
 * iOS = Improve the Encyclopedia Experience
 * Web = New Readers (focus on developing countries), or, in light of ongoing research for New Readers and a lot of 'debt', Improve the Encyclopedia Experience.
 * Android = Community of Readers (new experiences)
 * This said, it's brainstorming - be creative!
 * Some previous brainstorms: Q1 & Q2 FY 2015-2016 brainstorms, Q3 FY 2015-2016, Q4 planning.

Ideas from User Interaction Consultation

 * Bookmarks/read later
 * Readers thank editors
 * Request information
 * Highlights
 * Wikidialog
 * Add a listen button
 * Who wrote that?
 * Browsing
 * Extended and resumed information
 * Interactive pages (multimedia)
 * Make better use of recent changes

Android

 * Fill out experience. Ability to read talk pages and browse categories (That’s what some unhappy users say in their reviews at google play store.) Bmansurov (WMF) (talk) 18:29, 17 May 2016 (UTC)
 * Finish feed. Work started on feed might not be finished by end of this quarter. Jkatz (WMF) (talk) 18:36, 17 May 2016 (UTC)
 * Navigational overhaul. App spring cleaning and navigational re-thinking around feed and tabs. Jkatz (WMF) (talk) 18:25, 17 May 2016 (UTC)
 * Lead image centering. Allow users to select and/or center lead image and store in image/article metadata.  Requires moderation...somewhere. Jkatz (WMF) (talk) 18:36, 17 May 2016 (UTC)
 * Wikidata description editing. Allow users to edit wikidata descriptions. Need feedback loop, but moderation takes place in wikidata. Jkatz (WMF) (talk) 18:36, 17 May 2016 (UTC)

Web

 * PDF download article (for mobile web users that want to keep content for offline) JHernandez (WMF) (talk) 17:35, 17 May 2016 (UTC)
 * Mobile accessiblity. Go over the list of most widely used templates and make sure they look good on mobile devices. Submit improvements where necessary. Bmansurov (WMF) (talk) 18:29, 17 May 2016 (UTC)
 * Hovercard roll-out. Updates to hovercards for broader rollout, which include some important image improvements and logged-out reading preferences. Jkatz (WMF) (talk) 18:36, 17 May 2016 (UTC)
 * Sessions. Work with analytics to generate session metrics using event logging Jkatz (WMF) (talk) 18:36, 17 May 2016 (UTC)
 * Targeted Quicksurvey. The Global Reach team would like to use the quicksurvey in a targeted way. These are the 2 ways of target we would like to see: 1) Per Wikipedia Zero partner; 2) Per country. This information will be valuable to learn more about the emerging communities’ WP readers, and also to measure the impact of the Wikipedia Zero program. DFoy (WMF) (talk)
 * Allow Quicksurvey to support multiple questions. This feature is important to allow Wikipedia Zero users to be surveyed without cost to them. Using other external survey methods would be expensive for Zero users. DFoy (WMF) (talk)
