Re: [Wikitech-l] 2017-02-15 Scrum of Scrums meeting notes

I'm happy to see "Starting to work on audio/video support in Parsoid (VE will follow)". Any ETA on this? Links to Phab tickets would be appreciated as well.

Thanks,

Pine

=== Collaboration ===

• Blocking
• Blocked
• Updates

** Continued improvements to RCFilters. *** More front-end patches have been merged, e.g. handling for conflicting and interacting filters, AJAX support so results update immediately. *** Back-end patch is up for review. This sends structured filter information to the client, and changes how RecentChanges and Watchlist filters are registered. It's still a WIP, but you might want to take a look if your extension uses or might use such filters: https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/#/c/337546/

Other changes in Collaboration-maintained extensions ** Echo *** Fix mentions failing editing empty pages *** Use internal diff engine ** Flow *** Bottom-positioned toolbar _______________________________________________ Wikitech-l mailing list Wikitech-l@lists.wikimedia.org https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikitech-l
