Flow

edit

Nothing much to report,

  • patches to use OOJS, changes to hide/delete/suppress topics
  • still working on Cirrus search in a board
  • cache issues, we occasionally have topics in cache that aren't in DB so we run a purge script.


Editing

edit
  • #142 (Citoid deployment) moved a little bit, still waiting on Alex K. He said he'd work on it today or tomorrow
  • Nothing much going on, breaking things at the regular pace. Probably landing a big scary change on Thursday
