*Erik*: Moved patches from code review to dev't, then back to code review. Today: question about Q1 - new model for indentation - checking out validation for who you're replying to. New model for indentation is up on Flow-tests; we're road-testing it. *Matthias*: Code review for category support Tomorrow: Q8 - lines between topics in ToC. (There's an old patch for that, check out what's up.) *Matt*: Fixed bug in Editcount script Mostly worked on maintenance script for backfilling maintenance logs. There's one issue with the timestamp, maybe Erik can weigh in. After that: Q2 -- Spike to determine MVP for Visual Editor. Erik asks -- can't reproduce T61138 - Flow:byte-count in special:contributions incorrect?

*Matt*: A couple small fixes for Thanks title text, one for Flow. Reviewed & merged two patches for Compact Personal Bar & Echo. Reviewed core skin patch. Reviewed & merged last LQT patch in the chain. Ran the edit count script on Beta (for P7), Nick can review that now. Figuring out maintenance script to keep our logs updated. Danny asked: start on Q2 -- define and estimate work for VE. We'll need that next week, to plan the next sprint. *Matthias*: Some code review today, more tomorrow. Updated documentation about Worked on ToC spacing for Q9. It leaves a gap, but doesn't trigger load more. Erik's at Scrum of Scrums.

*Erik*: Yesterday was mostly code review, clearing out the backlog. Some patches are merged, will go through Phabricator column and move finished tickets to product review. Some of them are Search related, and we may need to poke Chad & Nik. There's an immediate problem that needs to get fixed -- flow-tests is throwing exceptions when you try to post a message, and we've got some user testing scheduled in the afternoon. Erik will take care of it. After that -- there's another important fix -- Flow logging is broken. Matt's out volunteering today, well done.

Will finish that stack soon, and then continue on through review. *Matthias*: Patches are in code review for Q4 (Hidden comments link to history) and Q6 (Timestamps misaligned in Chrome). Tried to test Echo on German WP -- got banned. Nick suggests -- put an explanation on the user page?

May I delete browser tests that target test2wiki?
by Chris McMahon 10 Feb '15

10 Feb '15

Hi collaboration people: We've been discussing this for a while, and we would like to delete the browser test jobs in Jenkins that target test2wiki. At one point they served a purpose, but today beta labs is the test environment of record and mediawiki.org is functionally equivalent to test2wiki. If you have any objections to this let me know, otherwise we'll be deleting these builds in Jenkins this week. Thanks, -Chris
