Thread:Talk:Wikimania Scholarship app/Sprint 1 review notes

Bryan, Rob, Dan, Ellie and Jessie met via hangout to review the increment produced during the cleanup sprint.

Bryan demoed the application deployed in Labs. Jessie and Ellie seemed generally pleased with the progress thus far.

Bryan then reiterated that the important next steps are to document the workflow desired for reviewers and determine if WMF will continue to invest in improving this application or instead opt to change focus to installing and configuring a 3rd party application.


 * Jessie said that we don't need localisation. In order to participate in Wikimania you need to be able to speak English, so we can assume that people can read English in the form.
 * Jessie would like to see the project name field replaced with a dropdown.
 * Dan mentioned that OAuth has some form of this using auto-complete
 * Rob stressed that this would be more involved than copying code
 * Bryan agreed with Rob but thought it would be doable
 * Jessie mentioned "top 3 projects" as desired rather than just one project.
 * Jessie asked about the difficulty of changing the formula used to compute the final score for an application.
 * Bryan said that it's not too hard but he wouldn't want to do it repeatedly with the current hard coded design.
 * The team should add a low priority backlog story to make updating the scoring model easier.

Action Items:
 * Reviewer process is not very user-friendly. Dan+Bryan+Jessie+Ellie to meet to discuss this.
 * Can someone put text from the front-end on a wiki so that users can contribute to the text?
 * ✅ See Wikimania_Scholarship_app/Application_text
 * Dan will look at the external project options "tonight" and report back to the group.
