  • Happy to look at small issues in MediaInfo, anything q-unit related, or FileAnnotator
  • In the Story Meeting this AM, what board or boards should we be looking at? Was pretty confused last time

I think mainly sdc engineering but it would be helpful if someone screen shared so we all know what ticket we are discussing +1

Matthias[edit]

  • Don't do API calls for statements that have not changed
    • Should we localise our own version of the data model as a model/controller locally for the UI? Upstream are replacing theirs…

    • Ooh, will go look.

Cormac[edit]

  • working on/reviewing various 'crawling' tickets (shit's getting merged!)
  • next one - tabs

Ramsey[edit]

  • a gaggle of meetings
  • the Wikidata stuff I need to do
  • as usual, serving as firefighter as necessary


2019-02-14[edit]

Hana[edit]

  • Another onboarding meeting this morning - will miss standup
  • Continuing to work on setting up my machine
  • FYI Yesterday Pam and I met about trying to reorganize the phab tickets. We looked over existing "releases" (i.e. depicts crawling/walking) versus "epics" (effective search) but we weren't able to take any action. We realized its unclear if we will ship by release or by feature area still - so reorganizing the artifacts at this point seems unnecessary.

Eric[edit]

  • In same onboarding meeting as Hana, will miss Standup & Retro mtg today
  • Also continuing to set up my machine for local Wikidata/Mediainfo development
  • Happy to look into QUnit stuff if there is a ticket for that

  • agree, maybe this could be added to the ticket process slides?
  • counterpoint, discussions on the older ticket provides valuable info in one place [just for argument's sake, I'm fine with either approach]
