Projects: Upload Wizard v1, Commons Strategy Status: seared in for flavor (Maillard FTW http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maillard_reaction)

Last week:
 * Thwacking UploadWizard bugs (w/Kaldari) for 1.0 release
 * Doing some amateur recruiting

This week:
 * Preparing patches, getting some crucial code reviews
 * UploadWizard blog post, release to proto 3/22 (today), then release to production 3/30 w/Roan
 * Recruiting again
 * Look into Parul's research, see if can add any questions re: multimedia
 * Try to push more on the Geolocation/Jeroen DeDauw thing

March 22

 * Recruiting for web analytics
 * Arranged 3/30 deploy w/Roan
 * Asked Roan for his opinion on security review, bug 26063
 * updated commons.prototype from SVN
 * techblog post
 * tried to figure out what was wrong with TitleBlacklist, Reedy updates didn't seem to solve my issue
 * got annoyed with the stupid log div popping up on commons.prototype and resolved to check in my change which adds logging levels. Had a brief powwow with Trevor & mdale, following design:
 * use mw.log.prepend for magically prepending to log -- mdale uses this pattern a lot for iframes
 * no logging levels -- show logging only if in debug mode, obtain debug mode from RL.
 * the "getLogger" closure concept isn't that important, although a nice to have
 * 1:1 Alolita

March 23

 * Got some recon on my web analytics potential hire
 * read through mdale's bugs he found in UW prototype (thanks, Michael)
 * conferred with Roan on 3/30 deploy, possible core changes. He thinks it's okay if they're in by Monday. I am feature freezing friday, so np. He shows this CR as an example of how to do a table update: http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Special:Code/MediaWiki/83812
 * meeting with Kaldari 1:30pm to tackle new IE6 bug and the sanitize bug together
