webcompat Needs Triage (miketaylr)

We've deployed the New -> Needs Triage changes (thanks Deepthi!), but there will exist a number of issues w/o status-needstriage labels. What to do?

karl: This is fixed. I went through them today and have relabeled them. Also closed a couple of forgotten ones with label:worksforme.
miketaylr: karl is the best (sorry everyone else).

Automating Changelogs (miketaylr)

https://github.com/webcompat/webcompat.com/issues/1128 * https://gitcop.com/ * https://www.npmjs.com/package/conventional-changelog

miketaylr: you tell gitcop your commit convention. And if a commit message doesn't match the convention, it sends a message you are just a very bad bad bad brat.

Screenshots of top sites (adam_s)

Working with this pixel diffing tool from Yahoo https://github.com/yahoo/blink-diff Want to give quick update and longer term goals

Pass:
Fail:
adam: One of my goals for Q2 is to look at screenshots. I found the tool which does diff of screenshots. There are parameters to adjust to minimize the fail rates. There are many reasons for failing: ads, content changing, rotating backgrounds, pop up, domain redirections, etc. We are pretty well right now. I need to go through the pass ones just to be sure.
miketaylr: I like the magenta. Pretty cool.
adam: I might get help from abdul.
miketaylr: Did you run this on a big sample?
adam: I used 150 sites the first time to evaluate the rate failure. Then I ran it over night on 550.
karl: Write a blog post with your tools, techniques, and findings. *dramatic voice* WRITE A BLOG POST.
adam: I have notes here, it's gonna be a blog post https://www.evernote.com/l/ATawTsQZPZxPJa8LCDm_-WQagR8e1a9EDrQ
karl: Cool.
adam: We might need to optimize a bit the infrastructure if we go towards big numbers.
miketaylr: You should look at taskcluster.
