Neil

edit

Last week:

  • SOPA blackout
  • Catching up on email, bugs, etc.
  • Hackathon
    • Twilio thing, send SMS, get back call reading article. Ruby/Sinatra/Heroku based, but it's tiny, could be easy to port to extension.
  • Looked at some XSS issues in jQueryMsg
    • Wasted some time on trying to sanitize inputs from translators. Hard to do and Niklas doesn't think it's a likely attack vector anyway
    • Instead will focus on sanitizing outputs, should do better parsing...

This week:

  • Helping with parser
    • adding more parser functions maybe
    • Parser / article API hack, shell out to parse.js
  • Wrapping up some final UploadWizard bugs
  • Feedback jsonp API
  • Maybe: fix some potential XSS issues with jQueryMsg

Week after next:

  • Unemployment
    • As most of you know by now, I'm moving on, mostly because I want to try my hand at starting a business. Will send an email out to wmf-all later
