Mukunda edit
- Blocked by:
- Blocking:
- Updates:
- Helped dzahn update the phabricator dump script to work with systemd instead of cron.
- Reviewed, revised and merged a bunch of changes to Phatality.
- Investigated a couple of phabricator bugs / missing features for monte to estimate the feasibility and level of difficulty to implement.
- Conduit api results don't include workboard column positions
- Missing conduit API to create / edit columns
- Both of these are relatively difficult to implement compared to expectations. The workboard code is fairly messy and not well integrated with the rest of phabricator. Nonetheless, Monte needs these features and I think it may be worth the effort.
