Plan

Projects: Upload Wizard, MediaStorage, Resource Loader

Status: lunched

Last week:

• Dark launch of UploadWizard frontend on 11/24
• Continuing to fix bugs that we deem important enough for our public launch 11/30
• documenting for community, report to Ford
• (Will not be taking Thanksgiving off, but will eat your chili and/or other holiday meal)

This week:

• Actual launch of UploadWizard
• dealing with bugs and other aftermath, setting goals for followup release (~ 1 month?)

• assigning some bugs to Roan & Trevor
• post-partum notes

• writing tech docs, tech blog post
• helping with Media Storage project -- developing requirements probably -- with Russ, Mark Bergsma & Ariel
• talking UploadWizard design with Brandon (just getting advice)

Notes

Dec 1

Met with Danese 1:1 re: contract.

Emailed Brandon to set time/date for collab.

Triaging bugs, working on post-partum report.

Brain mostly fried from deploy.

Dec 2

Out half the day (landlord issues, moving)

Talked with Brandon about UI for UploadWizard. At this point we are just in bugfix mode, but like most we identified the licensing / tutorial issues as the primary wart.

Tried to help eval Russell's initial "HomeBrew" proposal for Commons file infrastructure. Idea seems basically good but would like a bit more rigor in the proposal. Still not certain if it makes sense to forgo a filesystem like MogileFS.
