Discovery/Status updates/Next

This is the weekly update for the week starting 2019-05-20

Highlights

 * Most of the team attended a three-day offsite in Prague last week, and Deb, Erik, Stas, and Trey also attended the Wikimedia Hackathon.

Search

 * At the Hackathon, we hosted a session on "Advanced search syntax for newbies" —and we had a few in-depth discussions with volunteers about search, our APIs, etc., and talked more in-depth about Arabic and Slovak.
 * As a result of our discussion, Trey opened a ticket to investigate the effects of searching without diacritics in Slovak.
 * Trey completed a change to Arabic-language completion suggester (upper left search box) to make Eastern Arabic Numerals and Western Arabic Numerals equivalent. It will still take a little while for the change to be seen on-wiki.
