I was happy to read about the new features in the
latest release of the Wikimedia Commons app for Android. My understanding is the app is
developed and maintained by community members with funding from WMF and GSoC in addition
to volunteer time.
This seems to be a correct understanding, indeed.
What's making you happy this week? You are welcome
to comment in any language.
I'm happy about the fact that reading lists are now synced in the
Wikipedia App with the Wikipedia account you use in it. Further, the
syncing is done in both Android and iOS and works across both platforms.
o further add to it, work is being done to enable reading lists for the
web [1]! Though it has been a few weeks since the change has been
deployed, I noticed the announcement just recently.
I'm also happy about the fact that the Wikimedia Commons Android app is
considering the usage of a fairly new and experimental RESTBase endpoint
(/page/media) for introducing a new feature to the app [2]. Feel free to
chime in to the discussion to provide your related thoughts/suggestions.

Sivaraam?
You possibly might have noticed that my signature recen tly changed from
'Kaartic' to 'Sivaraam' both of which are parts of my name. I find the
new signature to be better for several reasons one of which is that the
former signature has a lot of ambiguities in the place I live as it is a
common name (NOTE: it's not a common spelling, just a common name). So,
I switched signatures before it's too late.
That said, I won't mind you calling me 'Kaartic' if you like it [of
course ;-)]. You can always call me using either of the names.
KIND NOTE TO THE NATIVE ENGLISH SPEAKER:
As I'm not a native English speaker myself, there might be mistaeks in
my usage of English. I apologise for any mistakes that I make.
It would be "helpful" if you take the time to point out the mistakes.
It would be "super helpful" if you could provide suggestions about how
to correct those mistakes.
Thanks in advance!
