Reading/Multimedia/Standup notes/2016/October

2016-10-03

• Standup notes are now being archived in public - we won't *announce* them, but they're being stored somewhere that is visible. Just a heads up.
• Affirmative response to archiving past standup notes was lackluster, so I won't be moving them at first. Mark may try to get consensus at the offsite.

Mark

• Traveling this Thursday to attend WikiConference USA - will return home Tuesday evening, likely to collapse in a heap for a day or so.
• I think I need to review Prateek's patch for FA, but after that, FA goals are met once the security review goes through and we push to the Beta Cluster.
• FA editing interface improvements likely to shortly follow the offsite.
• I'd like to start thinking about file curation tools, likely in the form of gadgets or bots at first.
• From last week: https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T143192 still needs comment (ping James, Prateek)

Matthias

• Working on adding "previous" buttons throughout UW upload flow

James

• Looking at e-mail
• Also going to WikiConference USA

2016-10-04

• Note again, the notes for each standup are now archived in public at Multimedia/Standup_notes on mediawiki.org.

Mark

• I didn't accomplish much yesterday. Today will likely be more mostly-aimless searching through Phabricator.

Matthias

• Breaking up "previous buttons" into multiple smaller patches

2016-10-05

Mark

• Travelling for WikiConference tomorrow, will not be at the standup (or will be on the train), so someone else needs to take notes and archive them.

Matthias

• Worked on existing patches (rebase, fix, feedback)
• Reading up on how people patrol uploads on commons

2016-10-10

Prateek

• Catching up on email after being unwell last week
• Need review on
  • FA error handling
  • Gallery px units
• Thinking of not attending AllHands & DevSummit in Jan. Any thoughts?

Matthias

• Fixed UW warning dialog regression (showed up for successful uploads)
• Working on "back" button (most importantly: making "upload" 2 steps, instead of going back to file selection immediately)

2016-10-11

James

• Back from WikiConference
  • People talked about 3D and video files
  • Brion working on video.js BetaFeature

Prateek

• Working on gallery issues as pointed out in T143192
• Some OOUI stuff

Matthias

• Working on "back" button (most importantly: making "upload" 2 steps, instead of going back to file selection immediately)

2016-10-12

• Offsite: Next week! I hope everyone is ready.
• Quarterly review also next week.

Mark

• I return from WikiConference North America!
• Today: Likely looking into video/audio annotations
• If that seems too complex, maybe annotation editing interface changes
• Note: We're into Q2 now, and our security review has not happened yet. We may not "hit" our goal of deploying FA to the beta cluster.

Matthias

• Wrapped up improvements to UW "back" button
• Looking at https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/#/c/254913/ to see what can be salvaged

Prateek

• Still looking at GallerySlideshow issues

2016-10-13

• Sorry James T130434

Mark (barely attending)

• Woke up on the wrong side of the bed
• Going to try to rest before Trip Number Three

Mark

• Yesterday was still bad for productivity, but I'm getting back on the horse today, because I got eight hours of sleep.
• FA security fixes merged, so we could probably push things out...there were low-severity things that I didn't think were applicable and we can probably steamroll
• Nobody else came
