Should we back-burner existing cirrus stories and work on instrumenting search?
- Nik says that another team has just merged some instrumentation
- When no obvious cirrus work to do, James will jump to WDQS (which is team top priority for the quarter)
How does wm-search relate to mw-search?
- James/Kevin to get with Adam to understand relationship between search initiatives
(Follow-up from previous meeting): Phabricator Search-Team project has now been created
(from James): How to track team vs. sub-team work?
- Nik: Can we have a board that tracks just epic items?
- For now (pending discussions), Search-Team workboard is authoritative for both sub-projects
Should we tidy up the calendar invitation attendees for this meeting?
- Nik will clean it up
