Reading/Multimedia/Standup notes/2016/October

2016-10-03

edit
  • Standup notes are now being archived in public - we won't *announce* them, but they're being stored somewhere that is visible. Just a heads up.
  • Affirmative response to archiving past standup notes was lackluster, so I won't be moving them at first. Mark may try to get consensus at the offsite.

Mark

edit
  • Traveling this Thursday to attend WikiConference USA - will return home Tuesday evening, likely to collapse in a heap for a day or so.
  • I think I need to review Prateek's patch for FA, but after that, FA goals are met once the security review goes through and we push to the Beta Cluster.
  • FA editing interface improvements likely to shortly follow the offsite.
  • I'd like to start thinking about file curation tools, likely in the form of gadgets or bots at first.
  • From last week: https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T143192 still needs comment (ping James, Prateek)

Matthias

  • I didn't accomplish much yesterday. Today will likely be more mostly-aimless searching through Phabricator.

Mark

edit
  • Travelling for WikiConference tomorrow, will not be at the standup (or will be on the train), so someone else needs to take notes and archive them.

Prateek

edit
  • Catching up on email after being unwell last week
  • Need review on
  • Thinking of not attending AllHands & DevSummit in Jan. Any thoughts?

Matthias

edit
  • Fixed UW warning dialog regression (showed up for successful uploads)
  • Working on "back" button (most importantly: making "upload" 2 steps, instead of going back to file selection immediately)

edit
  • Offsite: Next week! I hope everyone is ready.
  • Quarterly review also next week.

Mark

edit
  • I return from WikiConference North America!
  • Today: Likely looking into video/audio annotations
  • If that seems too complex, maybe annotation editing interface changes
  • Note: We're into Q2 now, and our security review has not happened yet. We may not "hit" our goal of deploying FA to the beta cluster.

  • Yesterday was still bad for productivity, but I'm getting back on the horse today, because I got eight hours of sleep.
  • FA security fixes merged, so we could probably push things out...there were low-severity things that I didn't think were applicable and we can probably steamroll
  • Nobody else came
