Hi folks,
Here's the list of release blockers for 1.18: https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/buglist.cgi?resolution=---&target_milesto...
...with summaries below. Basically, we're down to two bugs. Could we get some front end development love here?
========================== WikiEditor scrolls the browser and does not insert on IE8 on Windows 7 https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/32241
Reported November 7, but repro'd on three different machines. This seems like a problem we should also be fixing in deployment.
========================== Unable to add/remove buttons from (classic) toolbar from a gadget after MW update https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/31511
It's actually not clear to me that this should be a 1.18 release blocker. It's a problem that seems to have occurred in some form on 1.17, and as Roan says: "It seems the old toolbar's interface for adding buttons depends on loading order too much. The WikiEditor toolbar's interface is a bit better in this regard, but not much. These interfaces should be redesigned such that the loading order either doesn't matter or must be toolbar-first-gadget-later (so the gadget can depend on the toolbar and force the order to be that way), and such that adding, removing and modifying buttons at any location in the toolbar is supported."
This seems like an architectural issue that isn't going to get solved in the time that we'd like to get 1.18 finished off, so if others agree, the simple fix may be "put it in the release notes". Let's either agree on this, or agree on a plan for fixing this.
Thanks, Rob
