First Offsite

[edit]
  • Submitted google form to Travel on Friday with two options:
    • The week after Tech Conf (arriving Sun, working Mon-Wed, Activity on Thur, leaving Fri)
    • The week of Nov 5th (so a week break between Tech Conf and the offsite)


Needs attention

[edit]
  • Create a production test wiki in group0 to parallel Wikimedia Commons - https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T197616
    • Wikitech wiki page has a list of tasks
      • maintenance scripts
      • databases
      • dba to create the database
      • restbase + parsoid + tons of things
      • Chad and Sam were taking care of this in the past, but none of us know how to do it
      • We don't really have a lot of time :(
      • https://wikitech.wikimedia.org/wiki/Add_a_wiki
      • Is this worth it? without traffic does this tell you anymore than you can get with targeted tests in beta?
    • UPDATE: Conversation on task, still unclear use cases
