Thoughts on the dev conf
Getting chat in the web interface
Accessibility talk
- Interesting to see screen readers
- did developers really learn something?
translate wiki
- general intro and call for help
- will people really help out?
openZim
- are we adopting openZim as the official format
- still need to get static html dumps working
selenium
- mostly about the cool things that it can do with its framework
- should extension developers write their own selenium tests
  - YES!
- should we put it into core?
  - Good framework but still needs some work
flagged revisions
- edits from anonymous contributions have decreased dramatically (even before flagged revs)
wiki pics
- it works but is slow on the toolsever
- daniel wants to write an api for it so that we can script against it
rtl for offline readers
- crazy problems when you deal with semitic languages
- not much talk off offline
liquid threads
- when do we get it .. some already have it.
- mw.org has it, translate wiki has it .. and maybe others...

interactive drill down
women in wikimedia
- danese put up notes
- looked at what had been done, open questions ..
- moka wants to the do researchers
