2014-03-14

 * Yesterday
 * Iteration planning meeting
 * Desperately trying to get access to stat1001 so that I can work on the performance dashboard. Analytics team is pointing me to one of their members who only comes back on Monday or to ops, but according to ops that's not necessary.
 * Reviewed and tweaked Pau's CSS animation changeset for the metadata panel
 * Reviewed TonyThomas' revived "click on backdrop to close the lightbox" changeset. Since we've already brought it up during our meetings and purposefully rejected that feature, I directed him to making a gadget that achieves the same functionality for people who like it.


 * Today
 * Performance dashboard

2014-03-11

 * Yesterday
 * 1-on-1 with Rob

 * Reviewed various UploadWizard diffs by Rillke

2014-03-04

 * Yesterday
 * Did #278 (get rid of global viewer instance) which solved issues experienced by Gergo in #178 (consolidating multilightbox and lightboxinterface)
 * Discussed jenkins gotchas with Antoine, which we'll document when I come back. The latest I ran into is that jenkins runs qunit tests on the changeset automerged to the latest master, which is a different state than you have locally when you "git review -d" the changeset. Thus, you can end up with the tests working locally but failing on jenkins, because the automerge causes changes that are incompatible on an application level. The workaround is rebasing to master when you encounter the situation, which brings you to the same state as jenkins and should make the qunit errors start happening locally.
 * Contributed to this TeamPractices discussion: https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Talk:Project_management_tools/Review/Options which might determine what tools the foundation uses in the future.


 * Today
 * I'm off until further notice, I'll let you know ASAP when I know I'll be able to do a work day

 * Yesterday
 * Asked analytics for limn0 access, which is prerequisite to work on #198 and #54 (stats dashboards)
 * Wrote a fix for #274 (write a test to check that events are left untrapped)
 * Did #232 (check CORS double-load behavior in all browsers) and wrote a fix for the issues in IE6 and IE11


 * Today
 * Contribute to #54 and #198 if analytics gives me access
 * Fish for more "must have" cards from the current release like yesterday if the above doesn't happen
