Retro

How did last week go? What sucked? What was awesome?

Jay

  • Nice
    • John started last week, so a couple of days were spent planning out his role and getting him up to speed.
    • Worked with John to get him started on Kuma feature pages (he's rockin' it!)
    • Kicked off Demo Studio design reset with Matt (early mocks look promising)
  • Not so nice
    • A lot of discussion around copy for the MDN home page, probably more than we needed, but glad that's over. ;-)
    • Dev Derby copy took a bit longer than expected, but working to get more input/help from devengage team on copy-related work.
    • I had way too many other devengage related tasks/todos last week to really keep up with the MindTouch upgrade and work on MDN 0.9.x stuff... I wish things were different. :-(

John

Awesome

  • Primarily worked on building an official feature list for Kuma (https://wiki.mozilla.org/MDN/Kuma#Features) by aggregating all of the ideas and discussion points that were out there
  • Helped Jay with the Dev Derby copy
  • Sent an email to a development group I am familiar with requesting that they contribute to the Demo Studio. I hope to use this email as a loose template for future emails like this.
  • Went through the Chrome Experiments website finding authors who have not yet submitted to the Demo Studio and wrote a simple screen-scraping script to add their information to this document: https://spreadsheets.google.com/spreadsheet/ccc?key=teWG1SesrKxOHlbUVGeTLmw&authkey=COH8keEI#gid=0
  • Prepared a discussion about Scrum for our meeting today

Sucked

  • Building the Kuma feature list took much more time than I had hoped. Thankfully, I recognized this and was able to avoid a similar fate with the Chrome Experiments work. By writing some automation for this task, I was able to complete it in about 3 hours.

Les

  • Keen
    • Getting more apps under South migrations
    • Transitioned from django-tagging to django-taggit
    • bug 632195 - Implemented demo tag namespaces, which should ease grouping demos for Dev Derby
    • bug 632076 - Up and coming sort order
      • Should start working, but needs a command added to daily/hourly crontab schedule
  • Cruddy
    • Almost killed 1/2 a week of work with being dumb

Luke

  • Cool
    • stage9 MT 10 upgrade
    • new designs looks great
      • and we have plenty of time to implement(?)
    • fixing jenkins jobs
  • Sucks
    • jenkins errors
    • staging error emails :(

Chowse

Yay!

Boo!

  • Still waiting on a few visual assets.
  • Unexpected last minute changes to front page messaging.
  • Out Thu and Fri, so crazy short week.

Craig

Groovy

  • Wiki pages are built, and I even got the toolbar to stick when you scroll. It's pretty neat.
  • Delayed start on Derby but cranking it out, will be done by end of the day. Work in progress.

A Drag

  • I still don't fully grok git so I'm not sure where to deliver stuff since we moved things around. Where are we keeping the code now? Which branch should I be committing to?
  • Got too ambitious with my first concept on the promo banner page, burned too much time on fancy scripting and still couldn't get it to behave the way I wanted. So I'm scrapping a few days' work and doing something simpler. I can revisit the page later when there's less crunch.

Planning

What do we do this week? Do we need to change objectives?

Jay

  • Wrap up MDN home page and header design feedback with Chowse so he can get us the hi-fidelity designs.
  • Continue iterating on Demo Studio design with Matt (almost there)
  • Set code freeze data for 0.9.5 (and figure out what is going to make it for next Tuesday)
  • Reset expectations for 0.9.6 (based on devengage goals and current progress on various things)
  • Figure out how to fit Kuma development into our short dev cycles (it's hard enough to do 2 weeks for a single project... so I'm really worried about how we'll manage both)

John

  • Organize and hold Daily Standup Meetings
  • Make other Scrum preparations. Determine who should act into each role, train people for those roles, research tools that the team can use to apply Scrum, etc.
  • Work on anything else that becomes apparent either in today's meeting or by Jay's direction
  • In my off-time, continue searching for email addresses and Twitter accounts of Chrome Experiment authors

Les

Luke

  • work with craig to put templates into repos
  • fix mdn & kuma projects on jenkins (bug 656285)
  • investigate 'hidden demo' regression on stage9?
  • add tests for new DEMO STUDIO features (bugs 632084 632087)
    • work with raymond to add selenium tests for 0.9.5 features
  • test custom MindTouch notice in stage9

Chowse

Craig

  • Derby page will be done today.
  • Promo page tomorrow.
  • Still some testing to do (IE).
  • Sorry for the recent lag. So little time and my TARDIS is in the shop.

Raymond
