MDN/Archives/Dev Status Meetings/2011-05-25

Retro

How did last week go? What sucked? What was awesome?

Jay

• Engagement work week made it hard to focus on a lot of my MDN related tasks.
  • However, having the team in town did help discuss where we're at and get them more involved in our work.
• Started on some copy work with Matej, but didn't get too far. I need to push him a bit to see if he can at least get us some copy to work with.
• Design stalled with Chowse on PTO and Matt just wrapping up Dev Derby. Will pick up the pace this week.
• Wrapping my head around how we'll mange 2 week dev cycles. Given our track record and current processes, it will take a few cycles to sort out the kinks.

John

Today is my first day at Mozilla. Aside from packing, I spent last week reading through some Kuma documentation to prepare for today.

Les

• Keen:
  • Got South migrations working for Demos app
    • So far, so good.
    • More powerful than SQL migrations
  • Migrating from demo studio tagging to Kitsune/Kuma tagging app
  • New tagging app should help bug 657779 for tagging demos with Dev Derby runs
• So-so:
  • Holding pattern on affiliate buttons
  • Not entirely MDN-focused yet, but getting better

Luke

Awesome:

• got to dig into DEMO STUDIO code adding 'censored' field and enabling users to 'hide' their own demos
• the dev derby design looks great!

Sucks:

• did everything stop on Monday & Tuesday? why?
• design work needs to happen earlier so we have great designs but still have 2 weeks for dev, qa, sec, loc
  • MDN home & header, demo studio, and profile designs need to be done by May 31 to release by June 14
• MindTouch, nothing new

Chowse

• New mocks for MDN header and front page

Craig

• See the works in progress
• Good progress on the kuma wiki templates.
• Still need to sort out the behavior with the floating header and toolbar, and I have no idea how the section editing can work (will take some fancy scripting with CKE, methinks)

Raymond

• Expand selenium test suite for MDN

Triage

http://mzl.la/j6LLCv Any triage bugs bugs that need mentioning?

• https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=631370

Planning

• Pending features
• Pending bugs

What do we do this week? Do we need to change objectives?

Jay

• Decide our upgrade path for MindTouch with 0.9.5 around the corner and 0.9.6 quickly following.
• Sync up on design for Demo Studio with Matt and MDN home with Chowse
• Follow-up with Craig on progress with Promote MDN and Dev Derby pages, and Kuma editor work; get him ready for MDN home and Demo Studio.
• Get John up to speed on things; introduce him to the team
• Evaluate 0.9.6 and 0.9.7 plans; try to figure out the best way to get them out the door with the features we want/need in 2 week cycles.

John

For now:

• As Jay mentioned in IRC, there is much to digest from our meeting earlier today. I hope to read through my notes and refine them to the point that I have a fairly thorough understanding of what will be on my plate this summer.

Later this week:

• [To be detailed after the above is complete.]

Les

• Wrap up tagging migration groundwork for Dev Derby backend support
• Wrap up affiliate buttons?

Luke

• stop freaking out about week-long qa, security, and localization reviews before launches ;)
• upgrade django to 1.2.5 for security fixes bug 637525
• upgrade stage9 to MindTouch 10
  • must not disrupt dev derby qa
• talk to Les about mdn->kuma user migration

Craig

• Finishing kuma templates
  • Tagging? Files? The files gallery is a Deki thing that we may be able to lose, but I know Sheppy will want tags.
• Progressing on Promote banner page
• Starting on Dev Derby

Roadmap

MDN 0.9.6
