May 2

 * Enabled data access for Wikiversity
 * Prepared new deployment branch and deployment to test.wikidata

May 3

 * New code deployed to Wikidata
 * Investigated, fixed and deployed fix for T134432 (@todo: some of this code still needs tests, and probably reworked some to be more testable)

May 5

 * Introduce field definitions for search https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/#/c/287161/

May 9

 * re/populated sites table on all Wikibase Client wikis, in order to add new wikipedia (jamwiki)
 * more work on search field definitions for Wikibase and discussing with Stas and ErikB.

May 10

 * Sprint start meeting
 * Add jam and ady to interwiki sorting order config, though I am not sure where these go in alphabetic_sr (Serbian) sorting order https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/#/c/288097/
 * Set sorting order config for fywikibooks https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T134943
 * Looked again at T47004 (moving interwiki sorting order config out of Wikibase, which I would like us to do soon)
 * Did some comparison of our config vs. the on-wiki config on meta wiki (meta:MediaWiki:Interwiki config-sorting order-native-languagename meta:MediaWiki:Interwiki config-sorting order-native-languagename-firstword) and in pywikibot.
 * One thing I noticed is that we still have be-x-old in the sorting order. T134943

May 11

 * Attended archcom RFC meeting about sites and interwiki T113034

May 12

 * Looking at issue with ArticlePlaceholder not appearing in search results.
 * Locally, ran into issue of double gzip encoding on my wiki T69928 but hhvm can be configured to work around the problem and is not an issue in production.
 * Problem was the repoUrl setting in production (and the default in Wikibase is also not good). https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/#/c/288510/
 * Also suggesting improvements to how the SearchHookHandler works (to avoid this api call and loading entities)
 * also watched https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/CREDIT_showcase
 * Dmitry presented about some experiments he's doing with creating "infoboxes" in the android app from Wikidata. Me (and some others) suggested he talk to Lydia and hoo, and make sure what fields / properties are in the infobox is something editors configure.
 * Stas demoed geographic queries and the query hints that Jonas has been working on.

May 16

 * Performance improvements to the map display in the query service

 * Working on interwiki sorting order patch - https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/#/c/288097/ (making my best guess on what to do with serbian sorting order, and asking on Serbian village pump )
