Today:

  • Updates to test plan: jen and I have added some tests to the test plan, looking in adding more and/or improving the dom0 test suite

Blockers or Asks:

Nicholas (async)

Yesterday:

  • Final cleanups of work to address ticket #415 (cursor and hover highlighting in UI) via PR #675, which I rebased and is ready for review. The combination of fiddly and infuriating CSS (which I ended up abandoning), Python workaround for CSS mess, Qt gotchas and random core dumps when running the tests meant this, sadly, took all my time.

Today:

  • Looked into #442 (timestamp not updating in UI as new messages or files arrive at client). See PR #778 for fix.
  • Looked into #717 (deletion in client and re-submission from source causes a crash). See PR #779 for fix that requires testing by someone who can recreate this issue.
  • Looked at #747 and #775 ("Last Refresh" / "Retrieving new messages"), which feel mutually exclusive. Would welcome a clear resolution here so parking starting to look at this properly.
  • Started to look at #710. (login polish)
  • Started to investigate solutions (pytest-qt plugin looks promising) for #381.

Blockers / Asks:

  • Tomorrow is my non-FPF "open source" day. I'll be online and happy to chat/answer questions/respond to emails if need.
  • No blockers.

Today:

  • Scheduled a number of followup calls and connections with new folks interested in SD-- next week will be meeting-heavy
  • Working on SD info sheet for prospective orgs - will request review, this is my main task today so that I can follow up with some orgs we met with last week
  • Scheduled a 1:1 with Louise for next week so we can stay in sync about some of our larger prospective partners
  • Planning to propose a SecureDrop-related lightning talk at NICAR if folks are comfortable with this - please feel free to get in touch if any concerns with this, or suggestions; I'll share draft before submitting
