Report on activities in the Toolhub project for the week ending 2021-05-14.
See the on-wiki progress report [0] for additional details and clickable links.
== TL;DR ==
* Frontend authorization information
* Group membership management
Authorization rules engines and user management screens are not very
exciting features for our eventual users, but they are important for
building a better experience for those users. The next work expected
to start for our content moderation workflows is reviewed/patrolled
status tracking for toolinfo edits and associated work queues to help
patrollers check for bad faith changes.
In possibly more exciting news, Bryan will be giving an "Intro to
Toolhub for tool maintainers" [1] presentation during next weekend's
Wikimedia Hackathon 2021 [2] (2021-05-22 & 2021-05-23). Slides and
hopefully a recording of that talk will be shared in a future progress
report for those who are interested but unable to attend the virtual
hackathon. Bryan will also be reachable during his wake hours that
overlap with the hackathon to answer questions folks may have about
Toolhub in the #wmhack Freenode IRC channel.
