Hi, The latest technical newsletter is now available at < https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Special:MyLanguage/Tech/News/2019/09>. 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: Deutsch • English • español • français • italiano • polski • português do Brasil • suomi • svenska • čeština • русский • українська • עברית • العربية • हिन्दी • 中文 • 日本語 • 粵語 Latest *tech news <https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Special:MyLanguage/Tech/News>* from the Wikimedia technical community.

[2] <https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T182219> - [image: Recurrent item] The new version <https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/MediaWiki_1.33/wmf.19> of MediaWiki will be on test wikis and MediaWiki.org from 26 February. It will be on non-Wikipedia wikis and some Wikipedias from 27 February. It will be on all wikis from 28 February (calendar <https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/MediaWiki_1.33/Roadmap>). *Meetings* - [image: Recurrent item] [image: Advanced item] You can join the technical advice meeting on IRC. During the meeting, volunteer developers can ask for advice. The meeting will be on 27 February at 16:00 (UTC) <https://www.timeanddate.com/worldclock/fixedtime.html?iso=20190227T16>. See how to join <https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Technical_Advice_IRC_Meeting>. *Future changes* - The Wikipedia app <https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Special:MyLanguage/Wikimedia_Apps> for Android will invite users to add Wikidata descriptions to Wikidata objects that have Wikipedia articles but no Wikidata descriptions. It will only invite users who have added a number of Wikidata descriptions in the app without being reverted. This is to avoid spam and bad edits.
