At last month's Wikimania conference there were two sessions of particular interest to this list:
1. "Adapting for Mobile Consumption" <https://wikimania2016.wikimedia.org/wiki/User_digest/Adapting_for_Mobile_Consumption>, a presentation by Jon Katz with Nirzar Pangarkar, from the WMF Reading team. In Jon's words, the talk is an introduction for editors to the challenges we face together as we adapt our projects for mobile, with a heavy focus on reading. A video recording <https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_u0Upq5dGcs> is now available (including an extensive Q&A), along with the presentation slides <https://docs.google.com/presentation/d/1vi3JEML9zEzZPLIdEH9qJp7Uu5l5EyjtUM4e-jUAgwI/edit?usp=sharing> . 2. A separate discussion session took place on the day before, titled "Going mobile and keeping editing: needs and challenges to edit Wikipedia from mobile devices" <https://wikimania2016.wikimedia.org/wiki/Discussions/Mobile> (which the organizers based partly on our session proposal <https://wikimania2016.wikimedia.org/wiki/Discussions/Submissions/Half_of_our_readers_are_mobile_now._What_does_this_mean_for_editing_Wikipedia%3F> ). It saw quite lively participation; notes are at https://etherpad.wikimedia.org/p/Wikimania2016-discussion3c . One aspect I found interesting (but which probably won't come as a surprise to any community liaisons reading along) is that Phabricator still seems foreign territory to many community members: During the session, I and other people posted links to various existing Phabricator tasks related to the suggestions/concerns that were being brought up; but as far I can see those tickets didn't receive any comments or subscriptions subsequently. -- Tilman Bayer Senior Analyst Wikimedia Foundation IRC (Freenode): HaeB
