Hi all,
Regarding criteria, there is a list of objectives for VisualEditor to achieve for this quarter in Phabricator [0], so all tasks which do not allow reaching those objectives should be nominated as "blockers", as explained on Mediawiki [1].
In these Triage meetings, we are seeking the attention of interested developers and technical users with the purpose of reviewing and collaborating on completing those tasks. If this doesn’t describe you, your feedback about VisualEditor product is welcomed on feedback on pages in your language [2].
Tech News is intended to inform interested users about engineering projects and written to minimize jargon. We encourage you to subscribe if you are not [3]. The Editing Team also publishes a periodic VisualEditor newsletter for more in-depth information about VE [4]. Both newsletters are available in several languages.
The Triage meetings are being held at different times to accommodate as many interested contributors as possible; the second is scheduled for Wednesday 18 February at 4pm UTC [5] (reminders will follow in the next few days). Results of the current status of these bugs are listed in Phabricator [6], and results of the meetings will be posted at the portal soon [5].
If you just want to spend time with the team to chat about the product and the process, we’ll have VisualEditor office hours again soon. [7]
Community Engagement is continuously considering effective ways of interacting with you around product development and would love your suggestions. What kinds of communications from WMF would you like to see?
Thank you, and have a good weekend,
rachel
