Reading/Multimedia/Standup notes/2016/November
NOTE: This standup did not occur. Europe was on holiday, and Mark was sick.
Happy November!
Prateek says his power is out, so he won't be attending. I'm not as sick as I was yesterday, but I would describe my mood as cautious optimism.
I still don't really have anything in particular to do, so I'll check the FA security review for progress, then maybe bother some people, then trawl Phabricator for more.
Maybe also run through my CR lists just to be safe. Fixing things around "back" button
edit
Caught up on CR and bugmail
Marking some stuff for GCI
Documenting user stories on Extension:FileAnnotations/Design/Process
Please add your own if you have any
Not yet sure about how to put all this on phab, but not letting that stop the process Yesterday went mostly as expected, searching for things to do still.
Security review not moving. Should ping bawolff or someone today perhaps. Nothing, Phabricator stuff
Backport things to REL1_28 if you need backports Fixed things around "back" button
Rebased follow-up patches (moving stuff out of UploadWizard obj)
Looking how to & how hard it would be to remember upload state when moving back
As below, maybe we should shift the meeting time. Prateek proposes 3PM SF time, midnight CET, possibly as a supplement?
edit
Will be working on userscript for image description editing today...backlog of bug reports is now too long to ignore, apparently people are actually using it
Nothing else seems to be pressing, unless anyone has anything they need me for... Making sure that when going back in UW, input is preserved Back in SF! (for six weeks)
Goal discussions vaguely planned.
Funding proposal for structured data progressing, including a PM for multimedia/structured data, so that's cool.
Feeling unproductive because not writing any code
Reached the wireframing stage in FA process
Missing you people :) Making sure that when going back in UW, input is preserved I'm in a haze of election stuff today, so I'll try to be useful and work on editDescriptions.js, but there will be limited throughput
Watching the news in disbelief
Making preserving individual licenses (for multi-upload) work
edit
Ditto news
Thinking about taking today off. Pretty sure that will happen.
Making preserving input when going back work - patches finally ready CR
Looking at thumb issues on commons
Meeting time changes...looks like the "alternate meeting times" choice has some support, and I don't mind the idea.
edit
Boring stuff
FA Design-
Feeling overwhelmed with the hierarchies and loops in the new process
See sketches at Phabricator
Starting to document stuff on Phab Returns from a very long weekend, needed to stop and breathe for a moment
Finally going to get around to the editDescriptions work that was promised last week.
Any CR, bug input, anything else that is needed? Fixing "copy all fields" in UW details step
Addressing issue in series of refactoring patches Reviewing and merging Matthias's UW code for "Back" buttons
Wrote some boring patches, replied to some emails
New meeting times starting Wednesday for M/W Fixed issue with errored uploads not being cleared in some refactor patch
Made failed uploads resumable after having gone back to tutorial step
Made "copy all fields" widget work after failed upload submission Fixed (almost) all bugs in editDescriptions
Gonna look through bugs and try to do some triage today... Evil plans for Parsing - should we have one for MM?
MM software "just works" which is a nice problem to have
Productify labs software? Gadgets?
Share thoughts for projects if you have them
JS linter switchover once Matthias's patches are merged
New time, same great taste. Did some triage...sort of. Will continue tomorrow. Nothing else really on my plate as far as I know.
Will check Thumbor and ImageTweaks tomorrow to see if deployment is even close to possible. Quarterly goals. There may be two possible paths for this. Should discuss.
Metrics today
QG planning probably coming soon Refactoring the skip & reset routines in UW - I want those to be handled in mw.UploadWizard, not let the controllers moveNext() along
Fixed unbind of removeUpload event handler A few things to look at from last night's meeting. FA security review, ImageTweaks, and Thumbor status in prod. QG due in ~6 days.
meetings, meetings, more meetings
Thanksgiving in two days. Literally no update because I last spoke to the hangout 15 hours ago, about 6 of which was sleep, but the rest I was off.
Gilles says Thumbor could be turned on in production in a couple days' work.
Today: Triage, of various things. If you have ideas lmk Cleaned up upload handling in UW (add/remove uploads)
Removed/refactored a few pieces of code to get rid of "reset" code, then abandoned the patch we talked about last week E-mail for goals.
@Mark contact Gilles about 3D stuff?
Working on sub-parts of T151327
Quixotic attempts to triage the Multimedia workboard continued today, probably also tomorrow.
Will work on tomorrow: Security review checklist, possible first draft of FA announcement Administrivia
Maybe need to work on metrics - quality vs. quantity???
Note : Mark and James were the only two in attendance, and had spoken 15 hours prior, so the standup was cancelled.
edit
Better error message when uploading when offline
Looking into flaky ConcurrentQueue tests
More trudging through workboard today. Sigh. Probably will continue tomorrow. I have seen some things that need attention, but I'd like to finish triaging first.
Looks like design work for FileAnnotations is continuing apace. Commented on all of the tasks. Missed a few days. Nothing interesting happened.
Watching community tech survey.
Filed some bugs! Previews of graphs
