Hi, The latest technical newsletter is now available at < https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Special:MyLanguage/Tech/News/2017/36>. Below is the English version.
You can help write the next newsletter: whenever you see information about Wikimedia technology that you think should be distributed more broadly, you can add it to the next newsletter at < https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Tech/News/Next>. More information on how to contribute is available at < https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Tech/News#contribute>. You can also contact me directly. As always, feedback (on- or off-list) is appreciated and encouraged. ——————————————————————————— *Other languages:* العربية <https://meta.m.wikimedia.org/wiki/Tech/News/2017/36/ar> • čeština <https://meta.m.wikimedia.org/wiki/Tech/News/2017/36/cs> • *English* • español <https://meta.m.wikimedia.org/wiki/Tech/News/2017/36/es> • suomi <https://meta.m.wikimedia.org/wiki/Tech/News/2017/36/fi> • français <https://meta.m.wikimedia.org/wiki/Tech/News/2017/36/fr> • עברית <https://meta.m.wikimedia.org/wiki/Tech/News/2017/36/he> • italiano <https://meta.m.wikimedia.org/wiki/Tech/News/2017/36/it> • 日本語 <https://meta.m.wikimedia.org/wiki/Tech/News/2017/36/ja> • ಕನ್ನಡ <https://meta.m.wikimedia.org/wiki/Tech/News/2017/36/kn> • polski <https://meta.m.wikimedia.org/wiki/Tech/News/2017/36/pl> • português do Brasil <https://meta.m.wikimedia.org/wiki/Tech/News/2017/36/pt-br> • русский <https://meta.m.wikimedia.org/wiki/Tech/News/2017/36/ru> • svenska <https://meta.m.wikimedia.org/wiki/Tech/News/2017/36/sv> • українська <https://meta.m.wikimedia.org/wiki/Tech/News/2017/36/uk> • 粵語 <https://meta.m.wikimedia.org/wiki/Tech/News/2017/36/yue> • 中文 <https://meta.m.wikimedia.org/wiki/Tech/News/2017/36/zh> Latest *tech news <https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Special:MyLanguage/Tech/News>* from the Wikimedia technical community.
