Reading/Multimedia/Standup notes/2016/November

2016-11-01

• NOTE: This standup did not occur. Europe was on holiday, and Mark was sick.

2016-11-02

• Happy November!
• Prateek says his power is out, so he won't be attending.

Mark

• I'm not as sick as I was yesterday, but I would describe my mood as cautious optimism.
• I still don't really have anything in particular to do, so I'll check the FA security review for progress, then maybe bother some people, then trawl Phabricator for more.
• Maybe also run through my CR lists just to be safe.

Matthias

• Fixing things around "back" button

Bartosz

• CR, email

2016-11-03

Prateek (maybe attending)

• Caught up on CR and bugmail
• Marking some stuff for GCI
• Documenting user stories on Extension:FileAnnotations/Design/Process
  • Please add your own if you have any
  • Not yet sure about how to put all this on phab, but not letting that stop the process

Mark

• Yesterday went mostly as expected, searching for things to do still.
• Security review not moving. Should ping bawolff or someone today perhaps.

James

• Nothing, Phabricator stuff
• Backport things to REL1_28 if you need backports

Matthias

• Fixed things around "back" button
• Rebased follow-up patches (moving stuff out of UploadWizard obj)
• Looking how to & how hard it would be to remember upload state when moving back

2016-11-07

• As below, maybe we should shift the meeting time. Prateek proposes 3PM SF time, midnight CET, possibly as a supplement?

Prateek (not attending)

• This meeting is too late for me now (DST?)
  • How about the old meeting time?
  • Or something around that
• Still working on the FileAnnotations design process with Pau

Mark

• Will be working on userscript for image description editing today...backlog of bug reports is now too long to ignore, apparently people are actually using it
• Nothing else seems to be pressing, unless anyone has anything they need me for...

Matthias

• Making sure that when going back in UW, input is preserved

James

• Back in SF! (for six weeks)
• Goal discussions vaguely planned.
• Funding proposal for structured data progressing, including a PM for multimedia/structured data, so that's cool.

2016-11-08

Prateek

• Feeling unproductive because not writing any code
• Reached the wireframing stage in FA process
• Missing you people :)

Matthias

• Making sure that when going back in UW, input is preserved

Mark

• I'm in a haze of election stuff today, so I'll try to be useful and work on editDescriptions.js, but there will be limited throughput

Bartosz

• Reverting patches

2016-11-09

Matthias

• Watching the news in disbelief
• Making preserving individual licenses (for multi-upload) work

Mark (failed to attend)

• Ditto news
• Thinking about taking today off. Pretty sure that will happen.

2016-11-10

Matthias

• Making preserving input when going back work - patches finally ready

James

• Working on Q goals

Bartosz

• CR
• Looking at thumb issues on commons

2016-11-14

• Meeting time changes...looks like the "alternate meeting times" choice has some support, and I don't mind the idea.

Prateek (not attending)

• Boring stuff
• FA Design-
  • Feeling overwhelmed with the hierarchies and loops in the new process
  • See sketches at Phabricator
  • Starting to document stuff on Phab

Mark

• Returns from a very long weekend, needed to stop and breathe for a moment
• Finally going to get around to the editDescriptions work that was promised last week.
• Any CR, bug input, anything else that is needed?

Matthias

• Fixing "copy all fields" in UW details step
• Addressing issue in series of refactoring patches

Bartosz

• Reviewing and merging Matthias's UW code for "Back" buttons
• Wrote some boring patches, replied to some emails

2016-11-15

• New meeting times starting Wednesday for M/W

Matthias

• Fixed issue with errored uploads not being cleared in some refactor patch
• Made failed uploads resumable after having gone back to tutorial step
• Made "copy all fields" widget work after failed upload submission

Mark

• Fixed (almost) all bugs in editDescriptions
• Gonna look through bugs and try to do some triage today...

James

• Evil plans for Parsing - should we have one for MM?
• MM software "just works" which is a nice problem to have
• Productify labs software? Gadgets?
• Share thoughts for projects if you have them
• JS linter switchover once Matthias's patches are merged

2016-11-16

• New time, same great taste.

Mark

• Did some triage...sort of. Will continue tomorrow. Nothing else really on my plate as far as I know.
• Will check Thumbor and ImageTweaks tomorrow to see if deployment is even close to possible.

James

• Quarterly goals. There may be two possible paths for this. Should discuss.

2016-11-17

• Metrics today
• QG planning probably coming soon

Matthias

• Refactoring the skip & reset routines in UW - I want those to be handled in mw.UploadWizard, not let the controllers moveNext() along
• Fixed unbind of removeUpload event handler

Mark

• A few things to look at from last night's meeting. FA security review, ImageTweaks, and Thumbor status in prod.

James

• QG due in ~6 days.
• meetings, meetings, more meetings

2016-11-22

• Thanksgiving in two days.

Prateek

• Had to switch back to MacOS for design stuff :(
• Design explorations at https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T151327
• Sorry this is taking long

Mark

• Literally no update because I last spoke to the hangout 15 hours ago, about 6 of which was sleep, but the rest I was off.
• Gilles says Thumbor could be turned on in production in a couple days' work.
• Today: Triage, of various things. If you have ideas lmk

Matthias

• Cleaned up upload handling in UW (add/remove uploads)
• Removed/refactored a few pieces of code to get rid of "reset" code, then abandoned the patch we talked about last week

James

2016-11-24

Mark

• Quixotic attempts to triage the Multimedia workboard continued today, probably also tomorrow.
• Will work on tomorrow: Security review checklist, possible first draft of FA announcement

James

• Administrivia
• Maybe need to work on metrics - quality vs. quantity???

2016-11-29

• Note: Mark and James were the only two in attendance, and had spoken 15 hours prior, so the standup was cancelled.

Matthias (missing standup)

• Better error message when uploading when offline
• Looking into flaky ConcurrentQueue tests

2016-11-30

Mark

• More trudging through workboard today. Sigh. Probably will continue tomorrow. I have seen some things that need attention, but I'd like to finish triaging first.
• Looks like design work for FileAnnotations is continuing apace. Commented on all of the tasks.

Bartosz

• Watching community tech survey.
