[edit](no discussion of items here, add to âTo Discussâ if something needs discussion)
- Brad
- Working on unit tests for AuthManager.
- Slightly stuck on the User-class/password question from the mailing list, more feedback would help.
- Reviewing lots of code.
- Gergo
- looking for feedback on T74469/T94885
- Sentry stuff: UploadWizard error logging goes live this week, need help on orchestration part from someone with more puppet/salt knowledge
- Will discuss with Bryan

To Discuss
[edit]- Agenda/Minutes
- Ongoing agenda in google doc (which only the team can view, for security)
- Kevin will copy a redacted version to a wiki page after each meeting
- https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Wikimedia_MediaWiki_API_Team/Meeting_Minutes
- Whoâs our victim for attending Scrum-of-Scrums?
- Bryan to cover this week. Ask Mark about future.
- Do we care about keeping track of everyoneâs vacations and other unavailabilities, and if so how should we do it?
- Kevin will talk to Rob
- Options:
- In here, like MW Core did?
- Officewiki page?
- Get a team calendar set up?
- Brad suggests we should try to make it a âstrong suggestionâ that we get asked to review new api.php modules, at least for code deployed to the cluster.
- Having the API team as stewards of the api.php makes sense
- devs: let them know via mailing list that API team is available to help (Bryan to draft email)
- PMs in features area: Maybe informative email from Damon (Bryan to ghostwrite)
- Should API team have representation on ArchCom? (Bryan to ask Robla, or delegate to Kevin)
- Discuss patches for blocked issues: Are devs writing code for known-blocked tasks, or are tasks getting blocked after the code is written?
- Some of each
- Kevin just wanted to raise awareness of the issue. No action items.
- Bryan may not be at next weekâs meeting
SUL status (can we help?)
[edit]- Just code reviews
What is Blocked on Core/API
[edit]- https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T78730
- Kevin to switch from blocked-on-core to blocked-on-security
What is blocking us (which should go to Scrum-of-Scrums)
[edit]- Maybe that AuthManager will need HHVM patch adc98c20 to work on HHVM, no idea what the timeline might be on getting that into our HHVM. Weâre a good way from actually being blocked on it though.
- Wikidata issue blocking a bunch of ours:
- https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T95168 (which is blocking T91073 which is blocking T76728 which is blocking 4 others, one of which is blocking 2 others, one of which is blocking one other)
