Minutes

eliot: AmeliaBR: Quick recap of where we’re are.

Amelia: Accepted proposal to be leading topic of QASprint/2014-july

… we are not quite at 50% still lots to go

… good progress though

Doug: (mea cupla) had multiple travel and couldn’t do much

… hopefully will do more next week

… and double efforts

… julee said in an email that she also

(Jen chiming-in about being also late)

(There will be at least 3 people in a NewWave)

… maybe we could setup time

ALL: Agreeing to setup work sprint for a few on Thursday Afternoon PT

… subscribers: Julee, Shepazu

Amalia: Or just start working whenever we can and just shout it out on the channel

Dave: (Offered to work on Jen list starting from bottom)

Amelia (resumes): I expect will have reports

… i’m finding that sections i’m going through are mostly not ready. Occasional ones are though.

… lots of little quirky things and guide to those

… sent an email to help on the quirks

… Link is there to help with those quirks http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-webplatform/2014Jul /0025.html

… among issues we have multiple templates to address

… if there are other areas to take care, we will have to make another sprint

Jen: Thank you so much Amelia for this project

eliot: +1

… if we can even get further to remove confusion, let’s remove all TEST: namespace and Meta:… or what we can do is to just move them completely out of the main wiki

… maybe we just have this separate wiki but most importantly unclutter the docs

renoirb: Agrees on Jen proposa

shepazu: Maybe we should update/add tasks in the issue tracker for those

Jen: (agrees)

Amelia: Use the system we have and make it in manageable system

… (agrees: Jen, Shepazu, Renoirb, Amelia)

Julee: Maybe we should have some conventions (its a bit confusing)

… maybe we should have some tagging.

… also, maybe we should state the priorities and create issue tracker meetings

shepazu agrees: “We gotta start somewhre” :)

(Julee: Agrees, but there’s a lot and confusing, we still should have this categorization. Then will make it clera)

shepazu: a big efforts makes me feel it will make it too big and no progress, lets’ find quick wins. Do you have a proposal for that?

Julee: I’ll try to think of something

(oops, forgot that detail) proposed by Jen: How about create

… a section in the wiki where we document those edge cases in a specific section (maybe at WPD/Projects/QASprints)

(resuming to issue tracker)

Amelia: I’m proposing that we make the next big push to clean the issue tracker

Jen: Maybe we just can start using it (in sync to Shepazu’s earlier proposal)

… focussing on doing things

shepazu: I think its a good compromise

… we find a way to tag new issues

… and then through meeting update issues about that

… and use the issue tracker during Community meetings and update

… we should make it more central so we keep it in front of our eyes

… i like to have issues in this instead of email

Jen: i’m looking at it right now

… enjoys this tool it “feels powerful”

… (maybe its overkill)

… maybe we should focus to pick a very basic

… figure a way to make it way more simple

Julee: The problem with a very simple tool creates a “blob”

… if we do not have someone who prioritize the bugs, we do not have a focus to work on them

… maybe we should spend time and remove “bells and whistle”

… to make bug simpler and still function as a priorotizing system is possible. But the main thing is that someone have to commit on them

… to keep it updated

Shepazu: What /kind/ of people should we need on such a tag team

Julee: A "project manager", and maybe two more including, at least, one technical person who can validate the issue

Agrees: Renoir, Jen, Julee

Julee: Would you like to join us Amelia

… i’m very excited about this

… we should just purge things and make it simple

AmeliaBR: Pinging Garbee if you’re around: Will you be able to help give people power to re-arrange/organize Bug Genie?

AmeliaBR, your account in bug genie

Garbee, no need to update amelia

Also, I updated Eliot as an administrator

shepazu: Just to add another aspect, Amelia correctly diagnosed an issue on the compatibility tables

… renoir sent an email describing the issue and the planned work to resolve the problem
