Worked Poorly
[edit]- "Twerk a fact"
- Division of big lead image & conversion tasks could possibly have broken down to better work pieces, but we got em on the run now +1
- we have a hard time breaking down large tasks, slows throughput (or perception of throughput)
- things are more self-contained now, lessens risk of this going forward
- Analytics stuff
- Action: talk to Toby about woes [Dan]
Confuses Us
[edit]- The role of mobile at the MediaWiki Developer Summit+1

- meeting tomorrow to clarify what is happening in sessions
- Swift. When is it happening?
- behind on iOS
- busy with onboarding
- Who does code review for random patches in MediaWiki core? e.g. https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/#/c/182886/ +1
- Dan is adding Brion to patch. reachign out to Chris
- It can be a bit confusing when things like wikidata descriptions in mobileview are actually going live +1
- Dan showed Monte where to find "release notes"
- Code signing profiles
- Action! Document process as well as possible and possibly turn team agent in to role account [Brion -> get initial docs done by mid-Jan]
- Team lead role
Note: Moiz is getting sucked in to mobile web stuff right now; if he seems disconnected he's sorry! Dan checked with Luis about tweet a fact stuff, he will get back to us next week on attribution-related issues; hold off on releasing to beta (couple days)
