Review work of previous week and demo it

Demoable new things:
 * Metadata panel easier to find now
 * http://en.wikipedia.beta.wmflabs.org/wiki/Lightbox_demo#mediaviewer/File:Swallow_flying_drinking.jpg

As expected and desired, we're not doing as much feature development and it's mostly bugfixes behind the scenes and tech debt payback. Good job y'all.

Review high priority bugs/issues that need attention
5-10 minutes as needed

Media Viewer
New approach for helping users view and download original files - new tickets need to be estimated and prioritized: Open 'Use this file' panel on hover (#662) Put "Download" as the first tab of the "use" panel (#665) Make "preview" shortcut more meaningful (#664) Remember the last selection of the reuse menu (share, embed or download) (#660) Keep the reuse menu open when switching between files (#661) Keep the metadata panel position when switching between files (#501)

Related: No way to download original file when the thumbnails have a different file type (#470) (related bug we should address anyway) Show attribution credits in download tool (#598) Show larger Commons icon (#583)

Upload Wizard
forces people to use the old upload interface for various basic things like reuploading deleted files

 * Keep doing
 * Took on more technical debt
 * Progress on GW Toolset
 * First steps towards plannning Upload Wizard
 * Happy with community relationship, seems very productive
 * Keep inviiting great contributors like Brian and Neil to work with us


 * Stop doing/do better
 * No out-of-focus points this week, should pay attention
 * Make sure that all team members have something to do in each sprint (e.g. Mark has front-end work)


 * Suggested improvements
 * Remove 'design needed' tags when no new design is needed for a card
 * Change card status when a task has been completed
 * Hard to find out about core changes that are important
 * More regular new bug triages (whomever is out of focus that week should do it)
 * Schedule time to do past bug triage
 * Move over important bugs to Mingle for now
 * Consider using Phabricator as a first trial for non-Media Viewer bugs, if stable enough
