Projects: Upload Wizard, MediaStorage, Resource Loader

Status: lunched

Last week:

  • Dark launch of UploadWizard frontend on 11/24

  • documenting for community, report to Ford
  • (Will not be taking Thanksgiving off, but will eat your chili and/or other holiday meal)

This week:

  • Actual launch of UploadWizard
  • dealing with bugs and other aftermath, setting goals for followup release (~ 1 month?)
  • assigning some bugs to Roan & Trevor
  • post-partum notes
  • writing tech docs, tech blog post
  • helping with Media Storage project -- developing requirements probably -- with Russ, Mark Bergsma & Ariel
  • talking UploadWizard design with Brandon (just getting advice)

Notes[edit]

Dec 1[edit]

Met with Danese 1:1 re: contract.

Emailed Brandon to set time/date for collab.

Triaging bugs, working on post-partum report.

Brain mostly fried from deploy.

Dec 2[edit]

Out half the day (landlord issues, moving)

Talked with Brandon about UI for UploadWizard. At this point we are just in bugfix mode, but like most we identified the licensing / tutorial issues as the primary wart.

Tried to help eval Russell's initial "HomeBrew" proposal for Commons file infrastructure. Idea seems basically good but would like a bit more rigor in the proposal, suggested a number of things to flesh out. Still not certain if it makes sense to forgo a filesystem like MogileFS.

Was interrogated by w:User:RT2 about my activities.

Dec 3[edit]

Feeling sick in the morning, contacted Dr. & got antibiotic upgrade.

Trying to get things together re: upcoming vacation / transition to regular FTE. Pinged Roan & Trevor about UploadWizard bugs. Reorganizing UploadWizard planning docs, converting everything to bugzilla.
