Allie

Yesterday:

• Reviewed Jen's PR to remove duplicate jobs

• Wrote up thoughts about UI test coverage and functional test coverage in general - discussion happening https://github.com/freedomofpress/securedrop-client/issues/1004
• Looked into what it would mean to remove jobs from the queue to clean up in case a source is deleted at the same time there are a ton of message/reply downloads (edge case/ refactor) - discussion happening https://github.com/freedomofpress/securedrop-client/issues/1095

Today:

Erik

Yesterday:

• Merged Kev's docs PR, reviewed another
• QA of RPM, successfully upgraded to fedora-31 (but from RC1 to RC2, so not a perfect test); re-tested sys-usb flow as well
  • Two issues, Salt error in output & progress bar stalling at 95%
• Redmine 4 migration completed

Today:

• More testing as required
• Backlog & user story grooming
• Aiming to submit Internews fellowship proposal

Jen

Yesterday:

• thought a bit about client/#1095, looks like that should be resolved in a future release so not a 0.2.0 release blocker (but thanks for reporting)
• did a little final testing and merged john's deletion PR, looks great

Today:

• made request'd changes to client/#975, if looks good we'll need to figure out merge strategy given 0.2.0 (probably merge 0.2.0 and pause client nightly is the best way to proceed)
• I can investigate SF instance issues reported today
• Still owe dev docs run through

• none
