Hello,
Here is the Discovery weekly update for 2017-10-02. As always,
feedback and questions are welcome.

*Programing note*: Due to the US holiday there will be no status
update for the week of 20 November. Updates will resume the week of 27
November.

== Highlights ==
* There is a survey on French Wikipedia asking if they should replace
static maps with dynamic maps and to define best practices.  [0]
* An update on the Discovery team and projects was shared [1]

== Discussions ==

=== Search ===
* Erik did quite a bit of research into whether we should expand the
rescore windows for learning to rank — it was decided it wouldn't be
helpful [2]
* David fixed a bug where the JobQueue was trying to report update
metrics when response was not valid [3]
* Gehel paid down some technical debt by creating a dedicated elastic
component in the APT repository — which will help get the next upgrade
more smoothly [4]
* Stas fixed bug where removed Wikidata description was still showing
when searching [5]

=== Analysis  ===
* Mikhail provided analysis of external & internal WDQS traffic as
preparation for sizing of internal WDQS cluster. [6]

=== WDQS ===
* Stas reloaded WDQS database to enable external links and performance
improvements [7]
