Flow
editNothing 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
