Sign off from product manager, Dan Garry? Yes | No

Notes:

Dan to try data migration.

The Specialists Guild has completed testing. We're reviewing the results. It seems that there is one item that may be net new, and Adam is getting clarity from Dan on this.

Blog post will be standalone, will not fall on 1-April-2015.

We should consider condensing the verbiage that will be shown in the App Store.

Is there a video available from Victor for iOS?

Dan indicated 13-April-2015 provisional app launch date.

Once 4.1.0 has shipped, update centralized mobile release history and ensure HockeyApp console marks the build as released.

New work that wouldn't be part of the 4.1.0 store submission should go in the 4.1.1 record. The TestFlight system will require that a build in 4.1.1 goes under formal review in order to start doing TestFlight distribution with it.

Wikipedia Alpha (org.wikimedia.wikipedia.tfalpha)
Corey is working on the daily alpha build process. Uploads are already working. Follow along in the Sprint 54 iOS board in Phabricator.

TODOs:
 * Use "alpha" icon (Corey)
 * git shortlog less merge-only commits, de-duplicated (specifically, only one translation log item needed, if present at all) (Corey)
 * Submit for TestFlight review by Apple (Adam, pending alpha icon update from Corey; we can do a manual shortlog if necessary)
 * See also Sprint 54 iOS board in Phabricator

Future Page Improvements
Screen shots uploaded, release notes added, sign off from PM

Additionally we should create a new page per app store release - so that we can see an archive of the past releases.
