Questions[edit]

  • We've considered options for looking at coming beta. There's added overhead. Is this something we really need?
    • Can we review why we need to know what is going to be in the next beta?
  • Column for [Action Item] Phab tasks (need a place to triage)?
    • Tag would be weirdly redundant


Action Items[edit]

[MAX] Get together with Monte and Josh to figure out next steps for wiki-fying regression, untie knots around multiple documentations

  • [JOSH] Look into OTRS filters/queueing to Make OTRS Great Again
    • Ping Keegan (subject lines for subqueues?)
  • [COREY] Reach out to JK about Web more like changes - what is expected? Get shared understanding so that we can iterate.
