Previous Action Items


 * Adopt a feature-specific meeting for the next major milestone [Ramsey] [pending new major milestone - carry forward]


 * [Michael] Add wikibase client and repo as dependencies in extension.json and delete the configured dependency on wikibase in the integration/config repository [Michael not present - carry forward]


 * James was right, this won't work, at least until https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T88258 is resolved. --MDH


 * Max to send to email list [All done]


 * Testing has fallen to the wayside a little bit in the race to get features launched (I am as guilty of this as anyone)


 * I'm not really sure we have a process for refactoring and deciding what refactoring to do - do we need one?


 * In the vein of user docs (as above), perhaps we should focus equally on dev documentation in future/now/yesterday

What are we doing that we should keep doing?


 * Wednesday office hours+100


 * Mark: More than once a week?


 * [all]: Nah


 * Ensuring that user testing guides design of new features :D


 * Spending some time to catch our breaths and figure out what/how to build next before charging right into it +1


 * Will start with using Story meeting next Tuesday.


 * Appreciating each other!


 * Attempting to use a shared library for testing so that some work can be shared across teams (still in early stages, so we'll see how this goes; good idea in theory)



What are we doing that we should stop doing?


 * Apologizing for bringing up points :) +1


 * Apropos of nothing in particular, of course





What aren't we doing that we should start doing?


 * Talk about campaigns?


 * More consultation with community before we release a feature that no one is going to use (at least not at the moment) +1


 * (partially addressed above?)


 * Formulate back-up plans for next year's work


 * Do we have front-up plans? (loose ones, yes)
