To Discuss

• Should we back-burner existing cirrus stories and work on instrumenting search?
  • Nik says that another team has just merged some instrumentation
  • When no obvious cirrus work to do, James will jump to WDQS (which is team top priority for the quarter)
• How does wm-search relate to mw-search?
  • James/Kevin to get with Adam to understand relationship between search initiatives
• (Follow-up from previous meeting): Phabricator Search-Team project has now been created
• (from James): How to track team vs. sub-team work?
  • Nik: Can we have a board that tracks just epic items?
  • For now (pending discussions), Search-Team workboard is authoritative for both sub-projects
• Should we tidy up the calendar invitation attendees for this meeting?
  • Nik will clean it up
