September 11 2018
== Previous Action Items ==
- none
== Keep ==
- Leaving no asses unkicked.
- Identifying optimisations and ways to improve the app
- put updates on project page
- document on wiki page(s)
- Developing more expertise within the team by exploring new things
- knowledge exchange could be useful
- Writing clean codes
== Stop ==
- Bouncing back and forth between release boards - it’s annoying+100
- postmortem w/ Jon K, Margeigh, Charlotte to address specific problems with J+K boards
- in general, problems around waiting for other teams
- Charlotte to figure out how to deal in future
- Deviating from standard platform behavior (based on design whim)
- design makes something similar to standard but requires custom component
- need to emphasize working with platform framework, deviation has costs
- custom should be rare exception not default - create process to maintain this
== Start ==
- Verifying design details are buildable before going to estimate tickets (possibly in design kickoff meeting)
- figure out a process to go through this, work with Carolyn to guide it
- meet together to discuss w/ new Android designer during All Hands week
== Questions ==
- Any more thoughts on featuring the app on https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/New_Developers
- no action for now
== Action Items ==
