Hi, Pine
Today was the rare occasion when the Collaboration and Parsing teams were not at the weekly Scrum of Scrums meeting. There is some content from Multimedia, Language, and Visual Editor in the notes.
Thanks, Grace

Hi Toby, thanks for the info. Collaboration and related info is of great interest to me at the moment, because I may need to make adjustments to the LearnWiki videos depending on changes to editing interfaces. I'll try to remember to check these reports going forward. (I regularly read Tech News, which seems to be designed more for external audiences.)

Hi Pine -- this is primarily an operational email (although I too read it for a snapshot of what's going on). If a team doesn't report one week,
it's
not that big a deal and they should provide an update in the next week.
Best,
-Toby

Hi Grace,
There seems to be a few blanks in this report. Admittedly I only read
it
occasionally, but I would be interested in knowing what's happening in Editing and Collaboration. Is there a way to append that information to this report?
Thanks, Pine
