There have indeed been bad experiences in the past with attempting to purge
archived emails, and even if purges could be done cleanly on the public
archives, the action would not remove the content from the automatic 3rd
party archivers and the subscribed email accounts. It would be nice to have
a solution to this kind of situation, and I hope that WMF will find one or
make one.
Thanks to everyone who has or is working helpfully to address today's
incident and related issues.

Hi Donor services,
I'm confused. EE is a public email list. Why would a donor's name and email content be sent here? Did the donor consent to this? Also, what was the purpose of sending this email to EE? This appears to have been some kind of mistake.
Thanks,
Pine

OK. I'll consider a donation. And, if Wikipedia Editors can become more helpful and accommodating to folks like me, perhaps I'll consider more! (Trying to participate is downright painful right now.)

*Matt*:
Working on the stack of ToC patches, almost done. Expects to be able to
work on gap handling by Monday.
Event-logging -- send beacon didn't work on production; there was a problem
with the schema. Made a couple fixes and deployed them, it's working now.
2 important bug fixes -- fixing JS on mobile, and notifications not showing
up in Echo.
*Erik*:
Yesterday - looking at Co-op approval rights, the best solution is under
discussion.
Bug triage -- fixed 8 bugs, triaged more.
Going to start looking at a ToC pagination problem in the master branch.
Will figure this out today.
Working on the links issue on Catalan WP -- it's an issue with subpages and
accents. We can cherrypick and release.
*Matthias*:
Working on the search back-end maintenance script, should get it to the
point of being able to run the script by tomorrow. After this, we should
have the back-end infrastructure in place for search. S suggested putting
this on flow-tests or another Labs machine. Matthias says Nik or Chad
should be able to help.

Yesterday: Finished the OfficeWiki talk page conversion, and deployed on 4
Catalan WP pages. Hooray!
*Erik*:
OfficeWiki talk conversion done! A couple bugs, but not too bad -- they'll
be fixed.
Wrote the queries for FlowReplies data
*Matt*:
Finished Echo bug, in code review
(Nick asked for backport, Matt will schedule one)
Put up fix for Flow mobile JS breakage
Reviewed ToC load more revamp
Today: Work on ToC, still reviewing Shahyar's stack of patches
*Matthias*:
More patches for CirrusSearch -- got one from Nik that had to be worked on
Working on Search configuration of namespace
Started bug triage effort
*Erik*:
Patch for the Co-op is up, in code review.
Wrote copy for Village pump to ask to grant this right -- it's up on a card
for the team to check out. -- (https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/P130,
linked from https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T76785)
S will help to figure out how to get wgContentModel enabled on enwiki.
Started looking at FlowReplies schema. We've got the data we want tracked,
but not the table that we want to see once the data's collected. Danny will
write on Flow/Analytics. Erik will work on that today.
*Matt*:
Followed up on event-logging, got it merged -- it'll be deployed today.
Reviewed an Echo change, and fixing bug that Flow messages aren't showing
up in Echo. (T77956)
Didn't have much time to work on the ToC, will resume that today.
*S*:
There are bugs related to a regression in the Echo interface -- the links
between Messages and Alerts. It seems like an easy fix, just reinstating
the fix that we did in September. Danny says we don't need design approval
to fix the regression -- go ahead and fix it. :)
*Matthias*:
Worked on search (L108) today, more tomorrow.
*Matt*:
Reviewed and tested conversion patch.
Followed up on event-logging patch.
Reviewed and tested ToC. Found a problem with how pagination works, filed a
bug. Will follow up on that today.
Today: Includealso patch for ToC. Plans to finish with current stack of
patches by end of day Wed.
*Matthias*:
Spent most of the day merging Search patches from Erik.
Tomorrow: Working on L108 (search).
*Erik*:
Ran script on Friday to fix bug that was taking items out of Contributions.
Css patches to remove !important at Krinkle's request.
Reviewed Matthias' patch for event-logging. It's out now, on beta-labs.
Started to work on Co-op ticket -- creating pages with Flow as the
ContentModel, it might be going faster than expected. Getting permission
for the bot on enwiki is the tricky part, still figuring that out.
Talked about two bugs with Echo -- the Alerts/Messages tabs are unclear.
Danny will look at what's going on, and send a question to Pau to help us
resolve what the correct look and behavior should be.
The Echo flyout has "Alerts (*NN*) · Messages (*NN*)" to switch between its
two "panes". Somehow there has been a regression:
a) They're both blue (T71929) so it's not clear which one you're viewing.
b) If the flyout shows only "Alerts" (because you're not involved with any
Flow boards) it's blue even though unclickable (T73733).
The Collaboration team needs to fix this soon.
The issue is whether Echo's flyout should move to the mediawiki.ui standard
for tabs, and what that is. The Trello card for this is
https://trello.com/c/F3SdIvRg/45-tabs-panes-panels . Mobile's Watchlist >
Modified uses both a button group and a set of tabs (see the Trello card's
attachment), there are pros and cons to each. Jared suggested using a
button group for [Alerts (*NN*) | Messages (*NN*)] , but the current CSS
for mediawiki.ui button group implementation doesn't seem to have the
notion of the active/selected button. If we add mw-ui-progressive to mark
the active button the way Mobile watchlist does, then the current
unclickable state looks like a button, so it's back-to-front.
I assigned Pau to https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T71929 , but there's
seems a general UX standardization issue(s). I hope some guidelines come
out of this.
Thanks!

All,
I was talking on-wiki about an important Flow feature which I feel should be the top priority since its early days. I don't see any progress.
https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Topic:S3cdl3dfqf8brx18 — I would like to not expose people to the buttons such as "hide" or "delete" before they click "edit".

All,
I was talking on-wiki about an important Flow feature which I feel should be the top priority since its early days. I don't see any progress.
https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Topic:S12prb6trf24nhkz — make it possible for users to split, edit, re-assign author, indent, and move other users comments. This is necessary for backward compatibility and also for migration of classic talk pages to Flow.
