Chris[edit]

Chris is out of the office today and says: "Went to Test Automation Bazaar, learned a lot. Spiked browser automation Trying to work with labs, which is slow and UploadWizard is failing"

Project plan for QA testing[edit]

http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/QA/testing Chris to talk to Siebrand/Niklas

Fiscal Year 2013 planning[edit]

Rob, Sumana, Chris https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Wikimedia_Engineering/2012-13_Goals#Wikimedia_technical_community https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Wikimedia_Engineering/2012-13_Goals#QA_Engineering_and_Continuous_Integration

Code review meistering[edit]

The new Git has awesomely negated the need for this? Or should I just prod things towards merging. finding stale commits turning patches into branches extension review queue deploy shorturl?

1.19 stuff: deployment & release support[edit]

Bug Triage[edit]

API triage? -- fail from lack of publicity or interest 

   next time: try individual outreach to DarTar, other API people, mediawiki-api mailing list

Git triage? -- what would we cover? doesn't look like any new bugs are there. There will be by Thurs :-)

Individual developer assignment work (what bugs are assigned to whom)[edit]

Will see if anything needs handling right now. need to look at 1.20 roadmap and figure out what to target. can wait till next week

Testing infrastructure[edit]

Bugzilla application management[edit]

Git integration? API doesn't have the stuff in it that Mark wants.... there might be another approach

Wikimedia blog maintenance[edit]

Probably still on hold this week in favor of the Monthly report; should be resumed next week
