Previous Action Items
- Adopt a feature-specific meeting for the next major milestone [Ramsey] [pending new major milestone - carry forward]
- [Michael] Add wikibase client and repo as dependencies in extension.json and delete the configured dependency on wikibase in the integration/config repository [Michael not present - carry forward]
- James was right, this won't work, at least until https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T88258 is resolved. --MDH
- Max to send to email list [All done]
- Testing has fallen to the wayside a little bit in the race to get features launched (I am as guilty of this as anyone)
- I'm not really sure we have a process for refactoring and deciding what refactoring to do - do we need one?
- In the vein of user docs (as above), perhaps we should focus equally on dev documentation in future/now/yesterday
What are we doing that we should keep doing?
- Wednesday office hours+100
- Mark: More than once a week?
- [all]: Nah
- Ensuring that user testing guides design of new features :D
- Spending some time to catch our breaths and figure out what/how to build next before charging right into it +1
- Will start with using Story meeting next Tuesday.
- Appreciating each other!
- Attempting to use a shared library for testing so that some work can be shared across teams (still in early stages, so we'll see how this goes; good idea in theory)
What are we doing that we should stop doing?
- Apologizing for bringing up points :) +1
- Apropos of nothing in particular, of course
What aren't we doing that we should start doing?
- Talk about campaigns?
- More consultation with community before we release a feature that no one is going to use (at least not at the moment) +1
- (partially addressed above?)
- Formulate back-up plans for next year's work
- Do we have front-up plans? (loose ones, yes)
