Wikipedia Zero

 * Exit interstitial

Web

 * Shared phab practices of Reading Web. Would be great to read the same for the different teams (if not already present), there's probably lessons to be learned.

Android

 * Beta release (2.0.109-beta-2015-08-21)

Reading Infrastructure

 * https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T84956 is still blocked on Ops. Talk to Gergő.
 * https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T91148 is still blocked on whoever is that owns oojs-ui

Technical Operations

 * Blocking: https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T84956 will ping ops again
 * Blocked by: None
 * Updates:
 * ocsp outage
 * phabricator outage
 * firewall goal coming along nicely
 * mailman project moving along. getting closer to getting an ETA, estimation 2-3 weeks
 * maps discussion about how we can start directing some traffic to the "trial" cluster

Analytics

 * The cluster has recovered fully after the kafka upgrade
 * Pageview API stalled on discussions with Ops - Alex, have you had a chance to go over the notes I sent, and what's a good time for a meeting?
 * mforns (Marcel Forns) is trying to reach Sean Pringle to talk about Event Logging data cleanup, any help connecting them is appreciated, task: https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T104877
 * Geowiki private data seems to be ok now, updated regularly, please check if you're a user

Services

 * No blockers nor bloquees
 * RESTBase
 * private wiki access should be out soon - https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T88016, comment there if there are private wikis that need special read access

Research

 * Blocking: none
 * Blocked by: none
 * Updates:
 * debian packaging continues for moving ORES to production (Yuvipanda & Awight)
 * Huggle to use ORES (wmflabs server) to triage work -- load will increase substantially

Language

 * Blocked: None.
 * Blocking: None
 * CX fixes continue.

Parsing

 * Blocked-on-ops: any updates on the git deploy restart bug? ( T102039 ) alex: I 'll reping
 * Updates:
 * Additional work on issues
 * Upgraded express library in production (longstanding)
 * Parsoid Batching API extension now live in production -- preliminary tests using it to batch parsoid's api requests to the m/w api shows latency improvements; expect it to also lower load on the parsoid and mediawiki API cluster
 * Work in progress to deprecate parsoid's v1 API.
 * Work in progress to bring parsoid's API (v3) closer to restbase's api (to reduce the work needed in VRS in core to transform client requests to Parsoid or RESTBase urls). Once this is done, both v1 and v2 APIs will be deprecated and removed. Scott working with Alex (Krenair) and services teams to make this happen.

Collaboration

 * Finishing up Beta Feature to allow opting into Flow boards
