To Discuss

 * Should we back-burner existing cirrus stories and work on instrumenting search?
 * Nik says that another team has just merged some instrumentation
 * When no obvious cirrus work to do, James will jump to WDQS (which is team top priority for the quarter)
 * How does wm-search relate to mw-search?
 * James/Kevin to get with Adam to understand relationship between search initiatives
 * (Follow-up from previous meeting): Phabricator Search-Team project has now been created
 * (from James): How to track team vs. sub-team work?
 * Nik: Can we have a board that tracks just epic items?
 * For now (pending discussions), Search-Team workboard is authoritative for both sub-projects
 * Should we tidy up the calendar invitation attendees for this meeting?
 * Nik will clean it up
