Scrum of Scrums
https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/project/board/64/

Vagrant
https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/project/view/627/
 * Triage existing tasks
 * Create workboard?
 * Bigger goal of establishing unit-test coverage

Browser tests
https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/project/view/630/
 * Finalizing environment abstraction layer
 * Further testing by refactoring some advanced scenarios (in Flow, CentralAuth, Echo)
 * Team review tomorrow
 * Merging later this week
 * all VE tests are broken. I'll walk Rummana through fixing them later today.
 * Writing a new test for vFlow since they marked the ticket High and haven't done it themselves. It'll be fast. https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T75239
 * Refactoring MMV and UW tests as their UIs get the OOJS treatment, working mostly with Gilles and a little with Mark. Trying to get rid of the sleeps and I'm finding some issues with how Chrome treats the z-axis in our UIs. I want to pair with Zeljko on this later.
