=New Items for next meeting=

= Teams =
 * Collaboration
 * We have five sessions completed for recent changes extended filters testing
 * Still recruiting for RC Beta satisfaction testing. Not going well.
 * Joe: From what list? Beta users.  Might have Roan pull me a set of en-wiki-only.
 * Joe: yes, ask for a fresh list, getting new users every week.
 * Joe: reading notes, finding them helpful. Before Daisy finishes her report, I'll check in so she doesn't recommend things we are already doing.


 * VisualEditor
 * James: Too many bugs in VisualDiffs to test. No ETA.
 * New Wikitext Editor.
 * Will be ready for user testing at some point for new users.
 * Need to make a list of blockers, then fix blockers, then make second beta release, all before it can be tested.
 * Daisy: list of tasks? James: Basic competence: do people understand they are looking at an editor, ...?  Is it as good as the old wikitext editor?


 * UX Standardization
 * No update from Volker for 1 June
 * Pending from previous meeting: Volker is going to funnel requirements of TagWidget into actionable items and gets back to Daisy and add some of the questions into RCFilters questionnaire.


 * Language
 * Daisy: completed the deck, have been bugging Amir for review before posting.
 * Pau: I've been reviewing the deck.

General

 * Daisy: should I be coming to more team meetings to know what's going on?
 * Pau: can be useful. Even if no specific action items, more understanding of why, how products evolve.  Dailies for all teams is probably too much.
 * Which meetings? Collaboration, VisualEditor, Language.
 * Pending from previous meeting: save/publish still waiting on English and German.
 * No change but keep needling James at his request.
 * Change to design meetings?
 * Currently there are three design-related meetings in Editing:
 * this meeting, which is focused on Design research
 * Pau: not a good model for Design, since this meeting is about daisy/Design Research serving all teams, which is not the model for Design.
 * weekly designer meeting
 * bi-weekly pitch meeting, which is often canceled or repurposed.

TODOs from 1 June 2017

 * Amir needs to review Daisy's Language testing deck.


 * Volker update for UX standardization.


 * Joe to invite Daisy to weekly Collaboration


 * Joel to follow up with Pau/Amir/Runa/Daisy


 * James to invite Daisy to Monday 9 am meeting


 * Joel to move next meeting, which conflicts with Metrics, to 4 weeks from now.
