2017-02-01

• A new month! Merry February to all.

Prateek

• Very. Unproductive. Week.
• Dealing with some extremely stupid Safeguard stuff
• Tax time
• :(

2017-02-02

• Happy Groundhog Day!
• Staff breakfast today.

Mark

• Unproductive week here, too.
• James, I could use some product insight on Extension:3D
• Also need to file a security review bug for it.

Matthias

• Error warning handling patch split up
• Fixed aborting uploads

2017-02-06

Mark

• Wrote patch for cursor in MMV-3d
• Writing patch for media type addition...life is terrible
• Security review in
• Will hit SoS to ask for help with deployment things

James

• Annual plan stuff
• Tasks for 3d

2017-02-07

Matthias

• Was looking at setting up dashboard for UploadWizard EventLogging data
  • Anyone any experience with Dashiki?
• Looking to respond to Firefogg going away
  • Probably remove Firefogg handler soon, it's breaking already
  • Alternatives?
    • At all possible?
    • Payload of transcoder acceptable?
    • Transcoding speed acceptable?
    • Quality?
    • What about licenses?

Mark

• 3d extension work ramping up.
• Thanks @James_F for the evaluation.
• Looks like I need to help Matthias with some stuff.

2017-02-09

Mark

• Legal chat - patent troubles for 3D files? Will discuss.
• Security review continuing apace.

Matthias

• Conversion scripts on client side - disappointing. Probably backend is better.
• EventLogging dashboards now

2017-02-14

Matthias

• Added 'uploadwizard' & 'uploadwizard-flickr' tags to files uploaded through UW

• Working on making it impossible to create extensionless (or any disallowed filename) File:... pages

2017-02-16

Matthias

• 'uploadwizard' & 'uploadwizard-flickr' tags
• disallow extensionless (& other invalid filenames) NS_FILE pages - may not go anywhere...

Mark

• I'm back!
• Will check on security review, deployment checklist, etc.

Prateek

• OOUI things...
• FA prototype work
• FA (in general)
  • Where are we, where do we go?
    • Mark: We have support to finish and maintain our existing projects, so we're in a good place and we can finish FA.
  • Should we wait for Structured Data or the final WebAnnotations spec?
    • Mark: SD is farther out, and we can shift to it. WA finalization would be nice, but an incomplete spec is probably fine. I doubt they'll change it much.

2017-02-20

• US Holiday

2017-02-21

Mark

• Still waiting on security review for 3D extension
• Greg knows we plan to push things out once it's done
• Nothing else really happening
• I'll be in and out today, have an appointment in the afternoon

Matthias

• Adding chunked upload to upload.js
• Then (see if I can) remove it from UW FormDataTransport & use the one in upload.js instead

2017-02-23

Mark

• Security review still ongoing for 3D files.
• Practically nothing else to report, it has been a bad week for my productivity.
• Will review chunked upload in core and UW patch

Matthias

• chunked upload support in upload.js
• eventlogging data dashboard

2017-02-28

Matthias

• Investigated why Template:PD-Israel wasn't accepted as license when in Hebrew interface (he parsed version didn't include Template:License template tag)
• Working on errors/exceptions dashboard (queries probably ready, setting up dashiki)

Mark

• Security review came back, I fixed issues, Reedy counter-proposal in queue, will look at it today
• Gerrit repo requested, we can't deploy until that happens (oh, it's done, James tells me)
• Deploy schedule now has to be pushed back, but my proposal had some wiggle-room built in (oh, no it doesn't, because the Gerrit repo is done)
• Appointment later, will be in and out

James

• WFH
• Annual planning
• Fixing up security patch and transferring to Gerrit

Prateek

• Catch-up, random OOUI things
