=New Items for next meeting= = Teams =
 * Collaboration
 * Pau has made progress on "extended filters" prototype:
 * http://pauginer.github.io/prototypes/edit-review/extended-filters/index.html
 * Daisy can start scheduling "user testing for new functionality" interviews
 * Creating the test script
 * Pau has started working on the goals - doc shared
 * Daisy to turn into script
 * Joe and Pau will work on research goals
 * Proceed with user testing of current release (of filters)
 * who to recruit: Recent users, people who have tried the new filters
 * Daisy: for RC satisfaction, why are we recruiting people who haven't used the new filters. Thought it was beta feature heavy users.
 * James: we should be careful not to test only people who have massively used the new feature. Also test people who use Recent Changes, because they will be heavily impacted.
 * Daisy: we have tested the beta prototype with RC users. Thought goal of this testing was, how are the filters performing for heavy users?
 * James: also difference between testing prototype and actual code. Pau: one important factor is that real data (in actual code) could change, although prototype used real examples.
 * Joe: My perfect mix would be 3 filter users and 2 RC users.


 * VisualEditor
 * No changes since last time, not ready for testing
 * no predictions about when it will be ready for testing
