Milestone progress, publicity planning
Milestones 1 & 2 cleared
https://pyfound.blogspot.com/2018/02/python-package-maintainers-help-test.html posted
some of https://docs.google.com/document/d/1j1c-Waa2l0ikbfHblto5py9_KWiOgqgo02x2SLTKmKs/edit still not done yet - Sumana needs to execute
- pypi-legacy banner?
- Yes, add banner - don't put on non-logged in pages, just for logged in maintainers
- Sumana will continue to send emails and promote Warehouse to testers
https://github.com/pypa/warehouse/projects/1 We're closing in on Milestone 3: Publicize beta
Warehouse: 7 open bugs in https://github.com/pypa/warehouse/milestone/10
- infra: readiness?
- Ernest: Just gonna start using [other infra] to start getting something working, we'll throw it away and move to [infra] when [blocker resolved]. (Update as of Tuesday: blocker is now resolved!)
- Nicole - only needs to remove warning by the very end
- Dustin - could finish by early March, even possibly the end of this week
- timing: early March?
- Mid March feels reasonable at this point. We got a ton of production hardening done last week with memory consumption/perf.-
Ernest will unblock himself by using Google -- needs metrics & monitoring -- will work with Dustin
Depending on DI's workload I might work with him to get him running with instrumenting stuff? No pressure, but he's in a good spot as far as knowledge of inside bits to help
- YES PLEASE - di yayayaya! we'll schedule offline.
need Dustin & Ernest to work on docs for this milestone
- Reach out to 3rd party services about new pypi.org domain #2935
- Sumana will need help on this
Brainstorming for places we could promote the beta, the launch, and the shutdown https://docs.google.com/document/d/1uinYN4hjq5Yzz1oWFcGqC5XE45wXF4sh3heqtid6EW8/edit
Ask Donald for
- [infra]
Bug triage/double-checking

- Ernest or Dustin?
- Ernest: on it.
- Ernest or Dustin?
Version lookup should take PEP 440 normalization into account #445 https://github.com/pypa/warehouse/issues/445
- can we put this off till after launch?
- Ernest: +1 to Donald's note saying we absolutely can.
- Dustin currently working on version normalization for pypa/packaging so this will be shipped soon
- can we put this off till after launch?
incremental search indexing #701 https://github.com/pypa/warehouse/issues/701

- Nice to have, I'm -1 to making it a blocker for launch
- Wasim will take on Elasticsearch issues
- Someone else left some Elasticsearch comments, Dustin and Sumana will track them down - TODO

show maintainer's name next to avatar on project page #3005 https://github.com/pypa/warehouse/issues/3005
- If Laura doesn't fix it with her fix to the very similar #2875 (fixing the project collaboration page), same cool-but-not-urgent milestone?
- Nicole will review this week
- If Laura doesn't fix it with her fix to the very similar #2875 (fixing the project collaboration page), same cool-but-not-urgent milestone?
Improve default browse page order, or remove link #3062 https://github.com/pypa/warehouse/issues/3062
- Need this for launch?
- Ernest: nah, but not really a huge lift to improve UX here. +1
- May save users confusion - do earlier?
- Resolution: insert a temporary fix, then fix more thoroughly later
- Need this for launch?
499 client error when uploading #2533 https://github.com/pypa/warehouse/issues/2533
- user has submitted a commit that fails - next steps?
- Ernest: I'm leaning towards delay/close until we have better control over our hosting/infra to investigate. Heroku is inscrutable.
- Dustin: seems like something got stuck in the pipes between the user and PyPI... hard to debug
- Ask user for traceroutes, DNS, information about their ISP/network provider? Theory that heroku is blocking them
- Not a priority to debug remotely -- will be off Heroku soon
- user has submitted a commit that fails - next steps?

- know what needs done, just need time
need anything in readme_renderer? https://github.com/pypa/readme_renderer/pulls
- nope readmerender is good
- Ernest: Super stoked on Metadata 2.1, also happy to do anything I can help with... but is this in scope of MOSS grant work? not in scope, so it's in my 'extra' time
- Will save a headache when people ask about it, nice to have
- need any help? should be good!
