AOSA
[edit]Guillaume submitted the second revision of the document to the book editors yesterday, and also added the HTML version to the AOSA SVN. We're now waiting for the feedback from the technical reviewers Guillaume updated the project page and started to integrate the content into other pages on mediawiki.org (see "Training documentation" below)
Engineering project documentation
[edit]No major work on this these days The next steps are:
- clean up the associated categories (should be easily done with a bot -- Guillaume can do this, probably in December)
- get people to use the hubs (long term, probably)
Bug Triage
[edit]Excellent UploadWizard triage. Got Commons admin to give great input to Neil, Ian et al. Report TBD. Neil seemed to agree that it went well.
Bugzilla management
[edit]Looking at highest priority bugs. w:en:User:MarkAHershberger/Current_TODOs Mark is going to use the 20% policy: 20 percent ....to get people to fix high priority bugs (among other things)

[edit]Training documentation
[edit]Guillaume to dive into the mess. The inventory is still at Volunteer coordination and outreach/Training materials The content of the AOSA chapter has now been moved to MediaWiki history and Manual:MediaWiki architecture (yay!) Now mostly on hold until the November report is done.
Wikimedia blog maintenance
[edit]Guillaume worked on this last week, fixed bugs (#28935, #28932) and did other stuff (see commits: https://github.com/gpaumier/WP-Victor/commits/master ) All changes so far have been committed to github but haven't been deployed to production yet (need RobH for that -- Guillaume to create RT ticket about updating it, and another one about the Labs prototype) Not enough time to work on that this week (training doc + above all monthly report have priority, and it's a short week) so I'll probably start working on this again in December
Hiring
[edit]Rob doing phone screens
Travel / vacation
[edit]Sumana coming back today, Then Thanksgiving Rob: 24-25 Mark: 23-25 Sumana: 24-25 Guillaume: likely 24-25 (or maybe not; I hadn't really realized how much work I needed to get done by next week, esp. monthly report :(
