Notable action items[edit]

  • Elasticsearch hardware acquisition RT ticket needs some poking to get moving

  • Token handling changes in core coming soon (see anomie's email)

Language Engineering[edit]

  • Team is working on second release of ContentTranslation.
  • #80: Niklas still on vacation :)
  • No dependencies.

Parsoid[edit]

  • Focus continues to be eliminating diffs between Parsoid and PHP parser rendering.
  • Tidy support has been added to parser tests -- merged into core during wikimania, Scott will work on adding that to Parsoid this week
  • Ramp up work again this week after wikimania, vacation, etc.
    • Team-member status: Subbu was away on vacation last week, Marc sick this week, Scott getting back to Parsoid hacking this week

Multimedia[edit]

  • UploadWizard refactoring is chugging along, but nothing affecting other teams yet
  • Could use some input from milimetric on one of our cards...

QA[edit]

  • Zeljko on vacation
  • Greg on vacation
  • Emily (hiring recruiter) on vacation
  • Quarterly review next week
  • Added browser tests for Cite UI in VE
  • Added Jenkins job for new Echo browser tests
  • Planning big projects for next quarter: improve Jenkins performance and more better test environments
    • Specifically, the load on the Jenkins hosts is high enough that Selenium client processes get stuck for 90+ seconds at a time. After 90 seconds with no instructions from Selenium, Sauce destroys the VM, causing a false test failure.
