Notes

Dec 1

Met with Danese 1:1 re: contract.

Emailed Brandon to set time/date for collab.

Triaging bugs, working on post-partum report.

Brain mostly fried from deploy.

Dec 2

Out half the day (landlord issues, moving)

Talked with Brandon about UI for UploadWizard. At this point we are just in bugfix mode, but like most we identified the licensing / tutorial issues as the primary wart.

Tried to help eval Russell's initial "HomeBrew" proposal for Commons file infrastructure. Idea seems basically good but would like a bit more rigor in the proposal, suggested a number of things to flesh out. Still not certain if it makes sense to forgo a filesystem like MogileFS.

Was interrogated by w:User:RT2 about my activities.

Dec 3

Feeling sick in the morning, contacted Dr. & got antibiotic upgrade.

Trying to get things together re: upcoming vacation / transition to regular FTE. Pinged Roan & Trevor about UploadWizard bugs. Reorganizing UploadWizard planning docs, converting everything to bugzilla.
