- This is a reboot of the synchronous Scrum of Scrums weekly meeting. We want to see if the discipline of having a regularly scheduled brief weekly meeting helps to revive the practice of all teams filling out the notes. If you have attended the meeting in the past and have ideas for ways that we could improve it, then please share them with Grace and Deb.
- This weekly facilitated meeting will start on Wednesday 2020-11-18 through 2020-12-23 and we will evaluate if convening a meeting leads to more comprehensive notes.

- This is a followup on a SoS update from a few weeks back. We would like Parsoid clients ( VisualEditor, ContentTranslation, StructuredDiscussion, MCS/PCS ) to act on https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T266143 sooner than later. This should likely be a minor tweak in client code. We need confirmation that clients can handle this switch before we can make progress on making that change in Parsoid. Either leave a note on that phab task once you are done, or create a subtask and resolve it.
