Not much to say. People are slowly starting to formular actual tasks now, though they haven't been moved over to the GCI interface yet. I will hopefully have some good, long days in the MeB office this week, looking over, adding, and editing tasks and getting caught up on our GCI stuff.
I'll get to adding some tasks today / tomorrow ideally too
2017-11-06 31057, 2017

I'm all tasket out

I can speak for chhavi_ 's part
2017-11-06 31033, 2017

So I did https://tickets.metabrainz.org/browse/OTHER-310 which means almost all projects in Jira now have a "Design" issue type which has its own workflow, slightly different from the regular ticket workflow.
2017-11-06 31023, 2017
samj1912
and I ended up making a Kanban board for chhavi_ to allow her to manage her design tickets and also provide a pin board of sorts for people to look at active design tickets and provide feedback
2017-11-06 31024, 2017
Freso
I'd like people to keep an eye on this and let me know if anything else has gotten disrupted because of it, or if you think of some ways it can be improved. I've left OTHER-310 open for now, so comment there.
2017-11-06 31000, 2017
Freso
I'll close OTHER-310 in a week or two once I'm sure no one is complaining a lot. :)
Kanban is supposed to be used in an agile env. with rapid prototyping/feedback
2017-11-06 31022, 2017
CatQuest
what *is* kanban exactly?
2017-11-06 31025, 2017

chhavi_ said «I just wanted to ask, how should I ask for feedback on specific tickets. Should I ping people personally, or have a bi-weekly design slot/meeting where I run the team through tickets which need feedback?» and I'll let samj1912 take it from here.
so its like a board where you can drag and drop stuff to change status, prioritize tickets, and have a look at which ones are being worked on, which need feedback etc
2017-11-06 31044, 2017
CatQuest
oh
2017-11-06 31059, 2017
samj1912
like you can see there are 4 tickets in the needs review section
2017-11-06 31031, 2017
samj1912
that means chhavi has made mockups for those 4 tickets and is awaiting reviews from ruaok Freso reosarevok zas you and other editors involved in the UI/UX changes
2017-11-06 31046, 2017
CatQuest
right
2017-11-06 31055, 2017
samj1912
once you leave feedback you can drag it back to needs mockup and she will start working on it again
2017-11-06 31009, 2017
samj1912
you can also order the tickets to give a priority list of sorts for her to work on
2017-11-06 31028, 2017
samj1912
and she can order the needs review part to prioritize tickets which are blocking her on reviews
2017-11-06 31029, 2017
CatQuest
uff da
2017-11-06 31057, 2017
samj1912
The to - do section is the initial part where the community can decide whether to work on a specific ticket or not
2017-11-06 31022, 2017
samj1912
basically the point of all of this is chhavi_ wanted to know if this was a better / comfortable model to work with than her pinging everyone asking for reviews
2017-11-06 31054, 2017
samj1912
thoughts?

We talked a bit of a while ago about having bi-weekly or such UX meetings.
2017-11-06 31020, 2017
CatQuest
i like the meeting idea
2017-11-06 31031, 2017
CatQuest
it's easier to give feedback on something concreete
2017-11-06 31004, 2017
Freso
I'd prefer to not do that until after GCI, but I'll be here. OTOH, feedback should ideally go on the tickets. It easily gets too unwieldy to have it on IRC.
2017-11-06 31013, 2017
samj1912
yes

2017-11-06 31033, 2017

also lots of re-explaining the same things
2017-11-06 31042, 2017
Freso
So maybe just a weekly or bi-weekly regular-meeting agenda item where she lists the design tickets she would like to get reviews on?

board still requires going ot the individual tickets anyway

basically just this: it's probably a good idea to get test.mb.org up and running before gci starts, it 's a great place to tell newbies to "go wild and experiment" to test things, and not to worry about making an error or mess up data.
2017-11-06 31000, 2017
CatQuest
it's much easier to get people to "dive in" and learn what does what, when they don't have to worry about breaking anything.
2017-11-06 31005, 2017

CatQuest: Get test.mb up before GCI.
