Reading/Web/Projects

Quarter 4 (April-June 2016)
Make Wikipedia more accessible to 2G connections with fast API-driven web experience in mobile web beta
 * This will continue and finalise the work of Reading/Web/Projects/Barack Obama in under 15 seconds on 2G with the goal to start making tangible impacts on the page load time for users on 2G connections.
 * Improve in-article language switching on mobile web
 * A few changes need to be made relating to user research.
 * Hovercards to production on certain wikis

Quarter 3 (January-March 2016)
The focus of the reading web team in this quarter was primarily on the following two tasks:
 * Make Wikipedia more accessible to 2G connections with fast API-driven web experience in mobile web beta
 * This continued the work of Reading/Web/Projects/Barack Obama in under 15 seconds on 2G with the goal to start making tangible impacts on the page load time for users on 2G connections. The progress made during this quarter is documented.
 * Improve in-article language switching on mobile web
 * ✅ Wrap up the user page improvements begun at the end of quarter 2.

During this time we plan to support teams that want to use the QuickSurveys extension - the research and data team would like to identify segments in the Wikipedia reader population   and the discovery team would like to generate a model for user satisfaction with search results based on qualitatively-validated quantitative data (see phabricator).

If time allows we would like to explore the following stretch goals:
 * Rolling out related pages to mobile stable.
 * Rolling out Hovercards to desktop stable

We are experimenting with tracking our work in the Phlogiston tool.

Quarter 2 (28th Sept-December 2015)
