Hi, Pine
Today was the rare occasion when the Collaboration and Parsing teams were
not at the weekly Scrum of Scrums meeting. There is some content from
Multimedia, Language, and Visual Editor in the notes.
Thanks,
Grace

Hi Toby, thanks for the info. Collaboration and
related info is of great
interest to me at the moment, because I may need to make adjustments to the
LearnWiki videos depending on changes to editing interfaces. I'll try to
remember to check these reports going forward. (I regularly read Tech News,
which seems to be designed more for external audiences.)

Hi Pine -- this is primarily an operational email
(although I too read it
for a snapshot of what's going on). If a team doesn't report one week,
it's
not that big a deal and they should provide an
update in the next week.
Best,
