Topics from the past

Analysis team hasn’t been sufficiently notified of changes to data-related backend stuff, leading to missing data on the dashboards.
- Oliver, Mikhail, Dan will discuss further
Quick survey ?
- Probably not this year (due to external dependencies: inability to track users across wikis)
- What could we do this quarter? Moiz/Tomasz will ponder; Moiz will meet w/Abby
Q3 goals
- Plan is to have “finalized” drafts up for review by early December
- Lila laid out a schedule (which we will try to stay ahead of
- Dan is on it; continue adding suggestions to the Q3 page: https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Wikimedia_Engineering/2015-16_Q3_Goals

Announcements, Information, Questions

Quarterly review Jan 21; Tomasz may ask for help

Yuri has suggested adding graphs to the dashboard
- Dan will discuss w/Analysis team
- Graphs have ongoing maintenance; not all possible graphs should be implemented
Reminder that we should embrace the open source approach, accepting contributions from outside the team
FYI: Blazegraph will release a new version soon, with geospatial search; might want to integrate into WDQS. Details to come; may be relevant next quarter.

Anything from SoS that we should be aware of?
