• Had a meeting with Interactive folks (Yuri) about maps, graphs, file annotations and stuff

Bartosz

• Been working on debugging things from https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T136230

2016-08-23 15:00 UTC

Mark

• CR check this morning, hopefully will catch everything, let me know if you have something specific
• Back to FA, will probably try to get Prateek's thoughts about Wikidata rendering and editing
• Nobody else attended

Bartosz [late]

• Updated https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T136230 (UW exception counts)

2016-08-22 23:00 UTC

Bartosz [not attending]

• Fixed an UW CI issue https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T143475
• Responded to new comments at https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Commons:Upload_help and debugged a weird chunked upload issue
• Watched James and Mark merge lots of my code

Mark

• Got about halfway through rendering Wikidata annotations and realized I'd need to make separate requests to Commons and (maybe) WP to get the content shown in the design...not currently sure how to deal but will do so tomorrow
• Should probably get 'round to CR tomorrow before launching back into FA to avoid bottlenecking
• See below for notes from Matthias and James re: copyvio detection
• Nobody else attended

2016-08-22 15:00 UTC

Mark

• FA work went well on Friday, WP and Commons Category rendering both done. WD today, hopefully I can accomplish that

• Working from the office because it's funny
• Save -> Publish change tomorrow on beta cluster, next week Tuesday in prod

Mark

• FileAnnotations work today...

Prateek

• Still working on FA design
• Hoping to finish this week and take a few days off next week
• Still no house, well technically we do, but there is no water or electricity :(

James

• NOTHING HAS CHANGED
• Yay phabricator

Abusing standup EPL for notes:

• Could do two separate things mobile/desktop (on file page)
  • Flash for mobile, because they have no hover
    • Listen for focus/unfocus events on the tab/window so we don't flash at nothing
    • Refer to Volker's research to figure out how long the flash needs to be
  • First hover event on image hides annotations for desktop
• In articles, scroll events that bring you past images could trigger a flash
• Explore using categories/WD items to look for "people" or what have you, so we can encourage tagging (later feature?)
• Viewing...
  • Commons category -> five random (or non-random, explore options) images, link to category
  • Wikipedia article -> HoverCards-like summary
  • Wikidata item -> description, links to other projects with context ("learn" via WP, "define" via Wikt, "see more" via Commons, etc.)
  • Map location -> map? (optional)
