Reading/Multimedia/Standup notes/2016/November

Mark

 * Quixotic attempts to triage the Multimedia workboard continued today, probably also tomorrow.
 * Will work on tomorrow: Security review checklist, possible first draft of FA announcement

James

 * Administrivia
 * Maybe need to work on metrics - quality vs. quantity???

Prateek

 * Working on sub-parts of T151327

2016-11-22

 * Thanksgiving in two days,

Prateek

 * Had to switch back to MacOS for design stuff :(
 * Design explorations at https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T151327
 * Sorry this is taking long

Mark

 * Literally no update because I last spoke to the hangout 15 hours ago, about 6 of which was sleep, but the rest I was off.
 * Gilles says Thumbor could be turned on in production in a couple days' work.
 * Today: Triage, of various things. If you have ideas lmk

Matthias

 * Cleaned up upload handling in UW (add/remove uploads)
 * Removed/refactored a few pieces of code to get rid of "reset" code, then abandoned the patch we talked about last week

James

 * E-mail for goals.
 * @Mark contact Gilles about 3D stuff?

2016-11-17

 * Metrics today
 * QG planning probably coming soon

Matthias

 * Refactoring the skip & reset routines in UW - I want those to be handled in mw.UploadWizard, not let the controllers moveNext along
 * Fixed unbind of removeUpload event handler

Mark

 * A few things to look at from last night's meeting. FA security review, ImageTweaks, and Thumbor status in prod.

James

 * QG due in ~6 days.
 * meetings, meetings, more meetings

2016-11-16

 * New time, same great taste.

Mark

 * Did some triage...sort of. Will continue tomorrow. Nothing else really on my plate as far as I know.
 * Will check Thumbor and ImageTweaks tomorrow to see if deployment is even close to possible.

James

 * Quarterly goals. There may be two possible paths for this. Should discuss.

2016-11-15

 * New meeting times starting Wednesday for M/W

Matthias

 * Fixed issue with errored uploads not being cleared in some refactor patch
 * Made failed uploads resumable after having gone back to tutorial step
 * Made "copy all fields" widget work after failed upload submission

Mark

 * Fixed (almost) all bugs in editDescriptions
 * Gonna look through bugs and try to do some triage today...

James

 * Evil plans for Parsing - should we have one for MM?
 * MM software "just works" which is a nice problem to have
 * Productify labs software? Gadgets?
 * Share thoughts for projects if you have them
 * JS linter switchover once Matthias's patches are merged

2016-11-14

 * Meeting time changes...looks like the "alternate meeting times" choice has some support, and I don't mind the idea.

Prateek (not attending)

 * Boring stuff
 * FA Design-
 * Feeling overwhelmed with the hierarchies and loops in the new process
 * See sketches at Phabricator
 * Starting to document stuff on Phab

Mark

 * Returns from a very long weekend, needed to stop and breathe for a moment
 * Finally going to get around to the editDescriptions work that was promised last week.
 * Any CR, bug input, anything else that is needed?

Matthias

 * Fixing "copy all fields" in UW details step
 * Addressing issue in series of refactoring patches

Bartosz

 * Reviewing and merging Matthias's UW code for "Back" buttons
 * Wrote some boring patches, replied to some emails

Matthias

 * Making preserving input when going back work - patches finally ready

James

 * Working on Q goals

Bartosz

 * CR
 * Looking at thumb issues on commons

Matthias

 * Watching the news in disbelief
 * Making preserving individual licenses (for multi-upload) work

Mark (failed to attend)

 * Ditto news
 * Thinking about taking today off. Pretty sure that will happen.

Prateek

 * Feeling unproductive because not writing any code
 * Reached the wireframing stage in FA process
 * Missing you people :)

Matthias

 * Making sure that when going back in UW, input is preserved

Mark

 * I'm in a haze of election stuff today, so I'll try to be useful and work on editDescriptions.js, but there will be limited throughput

Bartosz

 * Reverting patches

2016-11-07

 * As below, maybe we should shift the meeting time. Prateek proposes 3PM SF time, midnight CET, possibly as a supplement?

Prateek (not attending)

 * This meeting is too late for me now (DST?)
 * How about the old meeting time?
 * Or something around that
 * Still working on the FileAnnotations design process with Pau

Mark

 * Will be working on userscript for image description editing today...backlog of bug reports is now too long to ignore, apparently people are actually using it
 * Nothing else seems to be pressing, unless anyone has anything they need me for...

Matthias

 * Making sure that when going back in UW, input is preserved

James

 * Back in SF! (for six weeks)
 * Goal discussions vaguely planned.
 * Funding proposal for structured data progressing, including a PM for multimedia/structured data, so that's cool.

Prateek (maybe attending)

 * Caught up on CR and bugmail
 * Marking some stuff for GCI
 * Documenting user stories on Extension:FileAnnotations/Design/Process
 * Please add your own if you have any
 * Not yet sure about how to put all this on phab, but not letting that stop the process

Mark

 * Yesterday went mostly as expected, searching for things to do still.
 * Security review not moving. Should ping bawolff or someone today perhaps.

James

 * Nothing, Phabricator stuff
 * Backport things to REL1_28 if you need backports

Matthias

 * Fixed things around "back" button
 * Rebased follow-up patches (moving stuff out of UploadWizard obj)
 * Looking how to & how hard it would be to remember upload state when moving back

2016-11-02

 * Happy November!
 * Prateek says his power is out, so he won't be attending.

Mark

 * I'm not as sick as I was yesterday, but I would describe my mood as cautious optimism.
 * I still don't really have anything in particular to do, so I'll check the FA security review for progress, then maybe bother some people, then trawl Phabricator for more.
 * Maybe also run through my CR lists just to be safe.

Matthias

 * Fixing things around "back" button

Bartosz

 * CR, email

2016-11-01

 * NOTE: This standup did not occur. Europe was on holiday, and Mark was sick.
