This is the agenda for the weekly dev meeting on September 21, 2016 at 20:00 UTC:

  • Schedule reminder: We are 4 weeks from the final chance to merge in major features. This includes Twenty Seventeen.
  • Ticketticket Created for both bug reports and feature development on the bug tracker. reminder: There are currently 182 tickets in the 4.7 milestone. This is 20 more than last week. In just 8 short weeks, this needs to be zero. For any tickets you’ve moved into the milestone, please make sure these are active tickets, with some kind of activity in the last 10 days.
  • Call For Bug Scrubs:  Can you run a scrub to help ensure tickets move forward?
  • Components and features: any decision points to be made, things that are stuck, or calls for help.
    • Twenty Seventeen (@davidakennedy, @melchoyce)
    • REST APIREST API The REST API is an acronym for the RESTful Application Program Interface (API) that uses HTTP requests to GET, PUT, POST and DELETE data. It is how the front end of an application (think “phone app” or “website”) can communicate with the data store (think “database” or “file system”) https://developer.wordpress.org/rest-api/.

    • Media (@mikeschroder, @joemcgill)
    • Customize (@westonruter, @celloexpressions)
    • i18ni18n Internationalization, or the act of writing and preparing code to be fully translatable into other languages. Also see localization. Often written with a lowercase i so it is not confused with a lowercase L or the numeral 1. Often an acquired skill. (@swissspidy)
    • Editor (@azaozz, @iseulde)
    • HTTPSHTTPS HTTPS is an acronym for Hyper Text Transfer Protocol Secure. HTTPS is the secure version of HTTP, the protocol over which data is sent between your browser and the website that you are connected to. The 'S' at the end of HTTPS stands for 'Secure'. It means all communications between your browser and the website are encrypted. This is especially helpful for protecting sensitive data like banking information. (@johnbillion)
  • Open floor for tickets and any lingering 4.7 ideas.
