= 2015-01-20 =

Android

 * v2.1.137 promoted to production.
 * Reviewing Gather API re: multiple lists on multiple languages

Web

 * Planning

iOS

 * Beta has been rolled out to over 1000 testers, there have been 422 installs to date
 * Is there a way to measure beta API usage (i.e. CPU time?)
 * Investigating using pageviews/top API as part of iOS "Explore" feature. Main blocker is filtering out things like non-main namespace, main page, Special: Search, etc.
 * https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T123442 (Dan: Joseph commented on this)
 * https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T118841 ? (Dan: this might be a misunderstanding, this sanitization is internal for privacy protection)
 * https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T121912 (Dan: redirects are quite confusing, I have some reading to do on this and it's hard to carve out time right now. But this is a priority)
 * https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T124082 (Dan: I'll comment on the ticket)

Reading Infrastructure

 * Block: Could use a quick security look at https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/#/c/264309/.
 * Hey Mobile people: Authmanager is replacing API action=login with action=clientlogin, and action=createaccount is going to completely change. We're currently aiming at end of February for the deployment.
 * See https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/#/c/265201/ for details, then talk to Brad if you have questions.

Research

 * ORES serving ~100 external requests per minute
 * ORES moving to new meso-level (Labs < Meso < Prod) support -- blocked on Ops time to set up machines
 * See https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T106867 -- working with Yuvi to flesh out sub-tasks -- need to know who to CC

Security

 * kartographer, Ex:ORES, TextCat reviews in progress
 * Patch to parser/stripmarkers (T110143) deploying today. Contact Security if you see an issue with Xml::escapeTagsOnly.

 * Updates:
 * RESTBase/Kernel security incident
 * OTRS upgrade on Jan 28th to be rescheduled for Feb 2nd
 * HHVM 3.11 packaging moving on, almost done

Analytics

 * Event Logging replication to analytics-store has been slow for a long time. Right now it's behind by about 3 days for a lot of major schemas.  The problem is not obvious but we're on it.
 * Geowiki stopped updating on December 18th because one of the servers it was using was read-only, that's now fixed
 * Piwik has been optimized and is working reasonably well with the 15.wikipedia.org website, other **low** traffic apps/sites can use piwik now if they wish (already talking to reading about doing this with their iOS client)

Parsing

 * Not blocking anyone (as far as I know)
 * Updates:
 * QR today (done)
 * RT test server (ruthenium) being updated to jessie and node 4.2
 * Needs puppetization fixes to migrate upstart files to systemD
 * Parsoid node 4.2 testing with a focus on memory usage / GC behavior

Language

 * Delay in adding parallel corpora tables for Content Translation
 * seems to be resolving now such that we are going to add them ourselves

 * Coordinating on Flow dumps from production. Ariel is working on this - https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T119511
