Notable action items

[edit]
  • A request was made for Design to start attending SoS (Arthur will poke the designers)
  • Analytics waiting for automatic notification from ops of link flapping
  • Ops' participation requested for caching overhaul RfC discussion happening today (30 July 2014)
  • Question raised about status of 'redo skin framework' next steps

Ops

[edit]


Analytics

[edit]
  • Would love to get a notification from ops if they detect link flapping. An example of this: https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=68796. Basically, when links flap, data problems might occur, and we need to assess the damage
  • Actively working on moving our Wikipedia Zero stuff to use the new API (card 131 marked in-progress)
  • Basic mockup of the soon-to-be Editor Engagement Vital Signs dashboard, for Wikimania: https://metrics-staging.wmflabs.org/static/public/dash (saw the spike in registrations from the android app)

Platform

[edit]
  • nothing I see new
  • I (Greg) should probably stop being this point person :)

Editing

[edit]
  • No open cards against us, yay! :)
  • Trevor to start working on Agora-ification of oojs-ui followed by skin rewrite; postponed till after Wikimania because Trevor was sick last week and because he's blocked on Design
  • Trevor's oojs-ui patch to make iframes optional for dialogs will probably land soon, hopefully today; should be good for Mobile Web
  • Big language support changes (for IMEs in particular) in the works for VisualEditor, hoping to land them before Wikimania so we can have people test
  • @ops: wikitechwiki was a total mess, I (Roan) fixed it up a bit yesterday after Andrew B left for the day. For details see SAL or ask me

Language

[edit]
  • No dependencies.
  • #80 will be addressed by Niklas after Wikimania/Vacation.
  • CX work continue by team.

Growth

[edit]
  • Working on browser tests for the GettingStarted extensions
  • Patch to have a separate cookie expiration time for "remember me" cookies
  • Task recommendations.
  • mw-ui icon patch is in progress at https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/#/c/139368 . I don't think it's blocked. There is ongoing discussion, including a meeting scheduled for Aug 26 to discuss the general approaches of WikiFont and SVG/PNG icons.
