ICYMI @Mholloway - assets for Chrome and Firefox stores are here:

The Chrome web store requires assigning a category to the extension. These are the available options (none particularly applicable IMO):

• Accessibility
• Blogging
• Developer Tools
• Fun
• News & Weather
• Photos
• Productivity
• Search Tools
• Shopping
• Social & Communication
• Sports

Which of these should we go with?

FWIW Instapaper and Pocket are categorized under "Productivity" so maybe that's the closest?

Thanks, seems reasonable to me.

Do we have a general apps team contact email for things like this?

Any need to embargo these until the announcement goes out, or should I just go ahead and publish?

Looks like it's possible (though not required) to add categories to the extension for (desktop) Firefox as well as Firefox for Android, too.

Maybe "Bookmarks" for desktop Firefox and "User Interface" for Firefox for Android?

Also, sorry for not catching this earlier, but there's a 250-character limit for the entire description for the Firefox addon store.

Edit: proposed description:

For Wikipedia app users who would like to save articles into their reading lists from the desktop. With a single tap, you can save an article into your default reading list, where it will be available for you to read in either of the Wikipedia apps.

-or-

For Wikipedia app users who would like to save articles into their reading lists. With a single tap, you can save an article into your default reading list, where it will be available for you to read in the Wikipedia Android or iOS app.

-or-

Save articles into your reading lists in the Wikipedia mobile apps from the desktop. With a single tap, you can save an article into your default reading list, where it will be available for you to read in the Wikipedia Android or iOS app.

• hi @Mholloway - my vote is for the 3rd one but perhaps it could be "web" instead of "desktop":

Save articles into your reading lists in the Wikipedia mobile apps from the desktop web. With a single tap, you can save an article into your default reading list, where it will be available for you to read in the Wikipedia Android or iOS app.

• +1 to the Firefox store categories

+ @LGoto - can a mobile-apps@ or similar alias be set up if one does not yet exist?

Would be great if you can publish and add the store links to https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Wikimedia_Apps/Reading_list_browser_extension

Sorry, there is room for the full detail text, it just wasn't clear from the submission screen (which doesn't allow for editing the full profile—that happens after submission).

@Mholloway I'd go with Productivity. I think you're good to push this live at your discretion, no need to wait for embargo/posts.

They are live as of about half an hour ago!

https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/wikipedia-reading-lists/

I'll write up some publication notes for future reference and then close this out.

Thanks @Mholloway !!!

@Mholloway Awesome!

re: mobile-apps@ I can look into this. In the meanwhile, I guess use the ios/android email lists - unfortunately out of phab, but best for now.

@Mholloway, so exciting! Thank you!
