Topics from the past
edit- Dan will schedule the next session to talk about the strategy part of our annual plan (aiming for tomorrow)
- Happened. Will do another this week.
Announcements, Information, Questions
edit- Maps planning session right after this meeting today
- Trouble booking hackathon travel?
- Apparently not
- We think about 5 Discovery people are going
- Chris K out of office Fri March 4 to Wed March 9
- Larger showcase feedback?
- Some feel more involved; others feel less involved
- Harder to put yourself in front of 100 people than 10
- Feels like there is a higher bar, whereas the original team showcase was informal
- Feels more like metrics (large space, public broadcast)
- Yuri treats everyone as if they were a small audience; doesn’t distinguish; no slide deck needed
- Yuri shared an interactive graph that has been well-received
Scrum of Scrums

Quick Quarterly Goals/KPI Update (if needed)
edit- Dan is focused more on annual planning right now
- Q4 goals draft is up, but needs work. Please put proposals on that page.
- Plan to have discussions first week of March to start to refine Q4 goals
- Q3 goals:
- Completion suggester beta: Done
- Roll out to full production: Plans being worked out
- Review ES configuration: In progress
- Integrate pageview data: Is part of completion suggester but would be nice to do fulltext too
- Quick survey: At risk
- Portal: Run 3 A/B tests: At risk (one has been run, need two more)
- Portal: Graduate at least one to production: In progress; taking longer than expected
- Dan’s advice: Try to pick a date and hit it (to promote the one successful test to production)
- WDQS: Update blazegraph: In progress. Hit some problems, but may be solved. Looking good
- WDQS: Research and understand Geospatial: In progress. Might even get it implemented.
- Maps: Wikivoyage in all languages: en ru are running; message drafted to ask other languages to consider switching
FYI
edit- Next Showcase ("CREDIT"): March 2
- Next Discovery retrospective: March 21 (although the structure is still subject to change)
