[WikimediaMobile] Reading Web Sprint Kickoff: Sprint 52 Zoolander

2015-07-20 Thread Kristen Lans 
The Reading Web team kicked off Sprint 52 today [1].

Work undertaken in this sprint will include rounding out the efforts that
were started in the previous sprint to increase test coverage and a create
a staging environment for testing and review, and diving in to performance
goals with an audit of the mobile site [2], which will inform
highest-priority performance improvements going forward.

Also, we have reached the end of the alphabet for our movie sprint naming
scheme! New sprint naming ideas are welcome :-)
