A summary of ideas:

*WP as destination:*
-Sister projects swipable from cards
-WMF owned OS integration/browser add-ons

*WP as platform:*
-API for 'cards' on topics/JS library
-Make sure API changes aren't breaking experience for: apple, google,
amazon?
-Help kindle optimize their calls
-Key partner list...do we have this for major integrations?

These are great ideas, and I don't want to lose them.
What should go on the brainstorming etherboard for Q1
<https://etherpad.wikimedia.org/p/Q1_Readership_Brainstorm> and what should
go elsewhere (and how do we make sure elsewhere isn't purgatory).
