Reading/Web/Chore list

Checklist
The checklist can be considered to be in priority order. Do not worry if the whole checklist is not completed.

Check if browser tests are failing

 * Are there any browser test failures?
 * If so, has the issue recurred for at least 2 builds?
 * If so, is there a bug open?
 * Is the bug a deployment blocker?
 * Note: If a branch cut is about to happen or happening (Monday/Tuesday) extra care is needed in this checklist item.
 * Find "Blockers:" in https://wikitech.wikimedia.org/wiki/Deployments#Near-term to identify the Phabricator task for deployment blockers and add as a subtask if necessary.

Review the Web Dashboard
https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/dashboard/view/125/
 * Are there tasks in the Triage section that need to be tagged with the backlog?
 * Are there tasks that need to be escalated to "Unbreak Now!" status and pulled into the sprint?

Review #mobile
https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/tag/mobile/

Sometimes users incorrectly tag our bugs...
 * Are there any new tasks tagged mobile in the "needs triage" column?
 * Tasks that are not Readers Web specific should be moved to triaged (tag with relevant teams if you know)
 * Tasks that are Readers Web specific should be tagged with "Reading Web backlog" and relevant components.

Review the next sprint (Reading Web Backlog Upcoming column)

 * Review the cards currently lined up for Upcoming.
 * Is anything not clear in the description of the card?
 * Is there information missing?
 * Are there assets missing?
 * If you were to work on the task right now would you be able to?
 * Add comments with those questions and move to the needs analysis column of the web dashboard.
 * Feel free to add a reassuring token if you want to note that the card is looking in good shape :-)

Check the performance dashboards (devs only)

 * Take a look at the mobile performance dashboard and consider:
 * Is there anything suspicious about the beta cluster in comparison to production?
 * If so, is WebPageTest acting up? Check out the sitespeed.io instance.
 * Then is there a campaign active?
 * Then does it correlate with other performance dashboards based on Real User Monitoring (RUM), e.g. https://grafana.wikimedia.org/dashboard/db/navigation-timing.
 * Are there any obviously related entries in the Server Admin Log (alternate UI link)?
 * Consider the differences between the beta and production Barack Obama articles
 * The idea of these graphs is to get a sense of what the next train push will lead to e.g. will it increase bytes or decrease bytes?
 * Have the HTML and image sizes deviated considerably? If so re-import the article from production.
 * How do JS/CSS differ? These values should be very very close. If they are not, it probably warrants investigation.
 * Is the next deploy likely to reduce bytes shipped, result in no change or increase them?
 * If there is any difference between the values - debug.
 * Have any new extensions been deployed or changed that might have led to an increase?
 * Did we do any refactoring that may have led to a decrease?
 * Did a new feature we've been working on it increase our payload?
 * Is it possible MediaWiki.Mobile.js or MediaWiki.Mobile.css may need updating on the beta cluster?
 * Consider investigating any CSS/JS differences in the history of http://wpt.wmftest.org/
 * Do the same for the Page Previews Perf dashboard.

Check the logs (devs only)

 * Take a look at the Logstash dashboard. Is there a log entry that's new and trending or indicative of a breakage?
 * Maybe it's ok if there is just a couple timeouts?

Review the MobileFormatter lead paragraph transform on Wikimedia content
We currently move lead paragraphs so they appear above infoboxes. On English Wikipedia we have logging in place to tell us when this is not working, which may be the result of editors adopting a new template. If time/interest allows check logstack. If the number of logged events is over 100 per 24hr period, this may be an issue with the templates or the code so flag it. One off issues shouldn't be a concern.

Check if there are patches from volunteers

 * One place to look may be "Tasks you can help us review" in the Web Dashboard and another is this Gerrit query.
 * Escalate to team code review etc. as necessary.

Review the Reading Web Backlog
https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/tag/reading-web-backlog/
 * Are there any tasks assigned to you in the "Needs Analysis" column? Can you do anything now to help them become actionable?
 * Are there tasks in "To Triage" that need priorities and/or can be moved to "Needs Analysis" or "Tracking"?
 * Are there hidden Priority=Low/Lowest tasks in the "To Triage" column? (Tip: use the filter link on the lefthand menu of the board).
 * Are there any stalled tasks that have been lost/forgotten?
 * Are there tasks in "Needs Analysis" that can be moved along? Even one or two can make a dent in grooming. :)
 * As part of grooming Needs Analysis, assign a team member to the tasks that require their attention, and attend to those tasks with your username attached.
 * Are there tasks that haven't been poked (old) in a while? Poke them!
 * Are there any stalled tasks that can have their status updated to open?

Admin

 * Check if meetings are scheduled for days off in the current week.
 * If so, notify the team so that they can adjust accordingly.

Puppeteer
Is today the last working day of the month? If not, then skip the rest of the section. If yes, check if puppeteer has a newer version compared to the one being used in chromium-render-service. The latest version can be seen at npmjs.com. If not, then skip the rest of the section. Otherwise, if you're a maintainer of chromium-render-service, then upgrade puppeteer to the latest version. If you're not a maintainer, then send an email the reading-web-team list asking a maintainer to upgrade the package.

Order

 * 1) Stephen
 * 2) Olga
 * 3) Piotr
 * 4) Jon R
 * 5) Baha
 * 6) Joaquin
 * 7) Sam

We alternate on Fridays.

Status Update
The team member responsible for their time frame should email their progress via the daily standup email threads.
