Reading/Multimedia/Standup notes/2016/October

2016-10-03

 * Standup notes are now being archived in public - we won't *announce* them, but they're being stored somewhere that is visible. Just a heads up.
 * Affirmative response to archiving past standup notes was lackluster, so I won't be moving them at first. Mark may try to get consensus at the offsite.

Mark

 * Traveling this Thursday to attend WikiConference USA - will return home Tuesday evening, likely to collapse in a heap for a day or so.
 * I think I need to review Prateek's patch for FA, but after that, FA goals are met once the security review goes through and we push to the Beta Cluster.
 * FA editing interface improvements likely to shortly follow the offsite.
 * I'd like to start thinking about file curation tools, likely in the form of gadgets or bots at first.
 * From last week: https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T143192 still needs comment (ping James, Prateek)

Matthias

 * Working on adding "previous" buttons throughout UW upload flow

James

 * Looking at e-mail
 * Also going to WikiConference USA

2016-10-04

 * Note again, the notes for each standup are now archived in public at Multimedia/Standup_notes on mediawiki.org.

Mark

 * I didn't accomplish much yesterday. Today will likely be more mostly-aimless searching through Phabricator.

Matthias

 * Breaking up "previous buttons" into multiple smaller patches

Mark

 * Travelling for WikiConference tomorrow, will not be at the standup (or will be on the train), so someone else needs to take notes and archive them.

Matthias

 * Worked on existing patches (rebase, fix, feedback)
 * Reading up on how people patrol uploads on commons

Prateek

 * Catching up on email after being unwell last week
 * Need review on
 * FA error handling
 * Gallery px units
 * Thinking of not attending AllHands & DevSummit in Jan. Any thoughts?

Matthias

 * Fixed UW warning dialog regression (showed up for successful uploads)
 * Working on "back" button (most importantly: making "upload" 2 steps, instead of going back to file selection immediately)

James

 * Back from WikiConference
 * People talked about 3D and video files
 * Brion working on video.js BetaFeature

Prateek

 * Working on gallery issues as pointed out in T143192
 * Some OOUI stuff

Matthias

 * Working on "back" button (most importantly: making "upload" 2 steps, instead of going back to file selection immediately)

Bartosz

 * Needs CR

2016-10-12

 * Offsite: Next week! I hope everyone is ready.
 * Quarterly review also next week.

Mark

 * I return from WikiConference North America!
 * Today: Likely looking into video/audio annotations
 * If that seems too complex, maybe annotation editing interface changes
 * Note: We're into Q2 now, and our security review has not happened yet. We may not "hit" our goal of deploying FA to the beta cluster.

Matthias

 * Wrapped up improvements to UW "back" button
 * Looking at https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/#/c/254913/ to see what can be salvaged

Prateek

 * Still looking at GallerySlideshow issues

Prateek (not attending)

 * Travel prep - currency exchange, bank and boring stuff
 * Sorry James T130434

Mark (barely attending)

 * Woke up on the wrong side of the bed
 * Going to try to rest before Trip Number Three
 * Since I worked throughout the three-day weekend, I assume this is achievable.

Matthias

 * Refactor nw.UploadWizard - trying to rip out this.uploads & upload handling

Matthias

 * Reading up on Commons patrolling, policies, tools, processes, ...

Bartosz

 * Review UW code
 * Looking at thumbnailing issue

Week of 2016-10-17

 * Entire team was at an off-site event. No standups were held.

2016-10-24

 * QR looks like it's...at a weird time. Should confirm.

Mark

 * Woke up way too early
 * Security review response underway - could use CR

Matthias

 * Slept well
 * Will CR FA stuff
 * Vagrant is borked
 * Flow review
 * Remove per-upload stuff from UW global object

Mark

 * Not much work yesterday, too tired. Today looks a little better.
 * Will be looking into more security review fixes.

Matthias

 * Review WIP patch
 * Vagrant reinstall
 * Improved "back" patch for UW

2016-10-26

 * QR today!

Mark

 * Yesterday was still bad for productivity, but I'm getting back on the horse today, because I got eight hours of sleep.
 * FA security fixes merged, so we could probably push things out...there were low-severity things that I didn't think were applicable and we can probably steamroll
 * Nobody else came

Mark

 * Little more work to do on non-security improvements for FA.

Matthias

 * Pulling stuff out of UW object, into the controllers/ui
 * Small things to fix in back button patch

Matthias

 * Fixing things around "back" button

James

 * Working from the east coast
 * Not much affecting MM right now

Bartosz

 * CR today
 * E-mail travel stuff catch-up

Mark

 * FA review 50-75% done, waiting for CR
 * Not much else happening, looking for things to do
