[Wikitech-l] Platform Evolution Update
Hi all, The PE Program team has been preparing for the Wikimedia Foundation midterm (3 year) planning by reviewing and organizing all of the followup from TechConf. We published an update of this work on Wiki here: https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Platform_Evolution/Updates/Feb_2019 A list of oiuyr proposed Goals and Outcomes for the next 3 years is here: https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Platform_Evolution/Goals We are currently looking for feedback on the work we have done so far, please check out the update for more info. Thanks everyone! -- Corey Floyd Director of Engineering, Core Platform Wikimedia Foundation cfl...@wikimedia.org ___ Wikitech-l mailing list Wikitech-l@lists.wikimedia.org https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikitech-l
[Wikitech-l] Platform Evolution post-TechConf update
Hi everyone, It has been a month since the Wikimedia Technical Conference[1] and the year is winding down, so it seemed like a good time to send an update on the Platform Evolution Program[2]. Specifically, I wanted to let you all know how the Core Platform Team will be following up on the great work coming out the conference. For those who didn’t attend, the primary goal of the conference was to produce the building blocks to develop a 3-5 year platform roadmap, which in turn will enable us to achieve our program goal: Evolve our technology platform and development processes to empower the Wikimedia Movement. Each session was designed to generate action items, decisions, and goals that will become the building blocks of the roadmap. Session leaders, scribes, facilitators and attendees worked hard to capture these outcomes in notes on wiki[3] and in Phabricator[4] (thanks again to all who helped with this process! ) Following TechConf, the Core Platform Team along with members of the Conference Committee has been reviewing all of the session notes and aggregating major outcomes into a single document. We are working to publish this document on MediaWiki.org by the new year and will send out another email when we do so that you will know where to find them. We will also be asking attendees to review this wiki to ensure we didn’t miss anything important. There are also teams and attendees are independently following up on TechConf outcomes alongside this formal process - this includes authoring RFCs and planning projects. Once the initial review of the materials is complete, we will be reaching out to individuals and teams to see how the Platform Evolution Program and Core Platform Team can support their work. In addition to guiding the 3-5 year platform roadmap, the outcomes from TechConf will be used as input into annual planning and the Q3/Q4 work for the Platform Evolution Program. The WMF officially begins the 3-5 year strategy and annual planning in January, so we will have more updates as that process kicks off. On behalf of the the Conference Committee, Core Platform Team and the Platform Evolution Program, I would again like to thank everyone who attended and contributed to the conference. Your time, work and input were essential to the success of the event and will be invaluable to the development of the Platform Evolution Program.

Re: [Wikitech-l] [ri-team] Sunsetting Trending Edits Service before the holiday
Admin assistance is definitely an interesting use case… there is also the possibility of including incorporating ORES scores to see what changes are actually good or not. Since the API is primarily based off of edits, it isn’t too surprising that a contributor / admin use case may be a better fit here. So the Trending may yet have another life as a tool for administrators. It is definitely something to test out to see if it is useful… As Jon said, the Cloud VPS version may not be as reliable as Kafka, but hopefully it is enough to evaluate this type of use… and maybe, as others have mentioned, a good reason to get production Kafka events flowing into Cloud VPS backed projects.

[Wikitech-l] Sunsetting Trending Edits Service before the holiday
Hi all, The experimental Trending Service[1] will be sunset on December 14th, 2017. We initially deployed this service to evaluate some real time features in the mobile apps centered on delivering more timely information to users. After some research [2], we found that it did not perform well with users in that use case. At this point there are no further plans to integrate the service into our products and so we are going to sunset the service to reduce the maintenance burden for some of our teams. We are going to do this more quickly than we would for a full stable production API as the usage of the end point is extremely low and mostly from our own internal projects. If you this adversely affects any of your work or you have any other concerns, please let the myself or the Reading Infrastructure team know. Thanks to all the teams involved with developing, deploying, researching and maintaining this service. P.S. This service was based off of prototypes Jon Robson had developed for detecting trending articles. He will be continuing his work in this area. I encourage you to reach out to him if you were interested in this project.

[Wikitech-l] RFC call for comments on Reading List Service
Hi all! The Reading Infrastructure Team has created an RFC for a Reading List Service to be used both by the platforms within Reading and by 3rd party developers as well. RfC: Reading List service <https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T164990> If you have used the Wikipedia Android app, you may already be using Reading Lists. While many Android users love Reading Lists, unfortunately there is no way to sync them across devices. This new service will allow users to sync these lists for the first time while keeping them private. The current plan is to develop this service for beta usage in the Android app. And then after testing and feedback, evaluate the service for roll out it out the rest of the reading platforms: iOS, mobile web, and desktop web with consultation from the community. For more details please check out the RFC and post comments and questions in there.

Re: [Wikitech-l] Investigating building an apps content service using RESTBase and Node.js
On Wed, Feb 4, 2015 at 11:41 AM, Gabriel Wicke gwi...@wikimedia.org wrote: Regarding general-purpose APIs vs. mobile: I think mobile is in some ways a special case as their content transformation needs are closely coupled with the way the apps are presenting the content. Additionally, at least until SPDY is deployed there is a strong performance incentive to bundle information in a single response tailored to the app's needs. One strategy employed by Netflix is to introduce a second API layer http://techblog.netflix.com/2012/07/embracing-differences-inside-netflix.html on top of the general content API to handle device-specific needs. I think this is a sound strategy, as it contains the volatility in a separate layer while ensuring that everything is ultimately consuming the general-purpose API. If the need for app-specific massaging disappears over time, we can simply shut down the custom service / API end point without affecting the general API. I can definitely understand that motivation for providing mobile specific service layer - so if the services team wants to implement the API in this way and support that architecture, I am totally on board. My remaining hesitation here is that from the reading of this proposal, the mobile team is the owner of implementing this service, not the services team (Maybe I am misreading?). This leads me to ask questions like: Why is the mobile apps team investigating which is the best server side technology? That seems outside of our domain knowledge. Who will be responsible for maintaining this code? Who will be testing it to make sure that is performant? I'm new, so maybe these answers are obvious to others, but to me they seem fuzzy when responsibilities are divided between two teams. I would propose that this be a project that the Services Team owns. And that the Mobile Apps Team defines specs on what they need the new service to provide. ___ Wikitech-l mailing list Wikitech-l@lists.wikimedia.org https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikitech-l
