Happy Thursday to y'all! Let's do the run-down.

== Media Viewer ==

This project is winding to a merciful close - we're seeing the final few
patches going out this week and next, and we're switching our work focus
to UploadWizard and other smaller projects.

There is an RFC [0] on English Wikipedia to remove the viewer by default,
which has been closed. The WMF has decided not to disable the viewer by
default, but refer to the talk page [1] for the latest.

There are also RFCs on Commons [2] and dewiki [3].

== UploadWizard ==

We're starting work on planning and metrics for this part of our upload
pipeline. We've started tracking our work on refactoring the software in
Phabricator [4][5], and we have a bigger patch out [6] that's looking to
make the codebase a little more in line with more modern code conventions
in various extensions.

We also have some work underway to replace outdated one-use libraries
with more modern, widely re-usable software.

== Core work ==

We have a few changes open to make thumbnailing a little faster and also
easier to handle. The platform team is reviewing those changes and we
should push them out in the next few weeks.

== Other ==

If I've missed something you have questions on, feel free to bother the
list! Have a nice week, all.
