Report on the Toolhub project for the week ending 2021-11-12
See the on-wiki progress report [0] for additional details and clickable links.
== TL;DR ==
* Improvements to development environment
* Auto-complete/lookahead search for adding tools
* Metrics about tools that Toolhub can surface
Unblocking developers using Linux hosts to contribute to Toolhub and
getting a first patch into Gerrit from our newest team member were
nice accomplishments for the week. Knowledge sharing across the team
with discussions like the one on tool metrics is something that we
plan to do more of in the coming weeks and months. This is especially
important as the team grows so that we can all be more informed in the
work that we do and the solutions that we propose. Speaking of
growing, next week we will be adding another developer to the team! We
will save the reveal of who for next week's report, but this will
complete the currently planned growth of the team and let us start
thinking about things like updated team practices to improve
communication and review of our work.
