Monday October 31

• RL2
  • Made AJAX work for the shared gadgets preferences tab (r101340, r101342, r101343, r101344, r101347, r101350)
  • Changed the layout of the gadgets and shared gadgets preferences tabs to use fieldsets rather than headings (r101364, r101367)
  • Core changes to facilitate the above (r101354, r101355, r101358)
• Visual editor
  • Committed insertion code I turned out to have had lying around for a few days (r101436)
  • Rewrote the range breakdown algorithm almost completely from scratch so that it actually works now, and added a bunch of tests (r101439)

Tuesday November 1

• Visual editor
  • Fixed a bug I spotted in one of Trevor's commits from yesterday (r101459). I didn't test this either, though. Must write tests.
• RL2
  • Refactored the repository architecture to separate caching and DB logic (r101469, r101484)
  • Rethought memcached key naming. Things are now cached remotely when possible and locally otherwise, and naming collisions are avoided (r101479)
  • Attempted to fix the behavior of a core hook that was causing hundreds of memcached requests (r101488) but had to revert because of broken parser tests (r101495) and ended up using a static variable cache in the hook function itself instead (r101497)
  • Wrote ForeignAPIGadget repo, will test and commit tomorrow
• Blacklisted IE6/7 for ArticleFeedback per Erik's request (r101461)

  • Reviewed the relevant ArticleFeedback, WikiLove and MoodBar revisions
• RL2
  • Fixed a bug in core that broke the ForeignAPIGadgetRepo I wrote last night (r101628)
  • Tested my ForeignAPIGadgetRepo code from last night. Surprisingly, it worked flawlessly from the get-go, apart from the aforementioned core bug. Committed in r101627
  • Worked on slides for our presentation on Saturday
• Merged and submitted the rest of my LocalisationUpdate puppet changes now that Ryan's finally fixed the gerrit permissions issues
• Fixed permissions errors in the scap script

Thursday November 3

• RL2
  • Worked on slides for presentation. Timo ended up rewriting them from scratch using my slides as a base
  • Updated the software and configuration on the RL2 prototype wiki

• RL2
  • Wrote testing/prototype documentation at RL2TEST
  • Fixed a bug observed on prototype when zero shared gadgets were present (r101986)
