Wikipedia Zero[edit]

Adam Basso

  • 64 New overlay UX - Jon submitted patch, Yuri and Adam to review it - https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/#/c/103404/
  • 57 Firefox OS - ResourceLoader and pecl-memcached questions pending with Timo.
  • 65 Android Integration - I'm starting on this.
  • 66 iOS Integration - I'll start on this in a couple weeks.
  • 53 W0 Dashboard - I think this is on Christian's plate. Toby to talk with Dan.
  • 2 ESI headers - The upgrade approach didn't work, so it will be deferred, as expected.
  • 3 Support SSL - Pending Yuri/Mark/Brandon hashmapper / dictionary work. A sample VCL for specific SSL support is blocked, with the hashmapper / dictionary expected to be used.

Multimedia[edit]

Mark Holmquist

Since last time:

  • Lots of UX work on Media Viewer
  • New jquery fullscreen library in core soon as a partial result
  • Some UploadWizard work, mostly testing and Flickr-related
  • Worked with QA on getting testing for UW-critical API methods (we might need help following up on this -Chris)
  • Finished loads of hiring and moving and other human-related insanity
  • Trudging along on analytics scripts

Before next time:

  • Discussion about UploadWizard changes, probably will rope in VE and/or Mobile to talk about what we should do (see e.g. Multimedia frontend RFC cluster)
  • More work on analytics scripts

Slowing us:

Slowing others: N/A I think - we have upcoming changes to UploadWizard but that won't start for another few weeks
