There’s one task left to deployDeploy Launching code from a local development environment to the production web server, so that it's available to visitors., and we want to follow up with some Elasticsearch experts to try and understand the (now much more sporradic!) peaks which we’re seeing. But by and large, we are no longer experiencing the issues which instigated this project! * [Filter and blur sensitive results by term matching](https://github.com/WordPress/openverse/issues/377)– We believed that we only needed to announce this in order to have it marked as success, but in checking the project’s success criteria we actually determined that we need to complete a few more tasks: upgrading the `unstable__include_sensitive_results` parameter to a stable APIAPI An API or Application Programming Interface is a software intermediary that allows programs to interact with each other and share data in limited, clearly defined ways. parameter, and deprecating the` mature` parameter. * [Django ASGI](https://github.com/WordPress/openverse/issues/2843) – This has been moved to Shipped since most of the code work on it is complete and we’re currently running the application using ASGI in production! We have one last task on this before considering it a success: removal of the separate, thumbnail instance of the API we had running which exclusively handled thumbnail requests. There are a few issues related to this work to change various routes from synchronous to asynchronous, but those can be done outside the scope of this project. 7. ## In progress projects 8. * [Additional search views](https://github.com/WordPress/openverse/issues/410)– A bulk of the work for this project is complete and deployedDeploy Launching code from a local development environment to the production web server, so that it's available to visitors. in staging! The maintainer team will be going through the new search flows to try them out and identify any issues. There are also a few more issues left in the milestone to complete. The team also discussed the necessity of buttons for scrolling through the creator & source section. * [Sensitive content report moderation workflow](https://github.com/WordPress/openverse/issues/383)– The copy change work is still available, and we’re going to focus on getting the code up for review for these because each step requires a deployment and will be very iterative. The rest of the implementation plans are also available and ready for work. * [ECS alarms for anomalous behavior](https://github.com/WordPress/openverse/issues/2344)– Code work on this is done, we now need to follow through with each of the alarms and stabilize them (which involves completing the runbooks and assessing their usefulness). * [Search relevancy sandbox](https://github.com/WordPress/openverse/issues/392)– Implementation for this is under way, with primarily the index creation DAGs and moving of the filtered index logic from the ingestion server into Airflow left. * (**Moved from RFC**) [Redis upgrade](https://github.com/WordPress/openverse/issues/3382)– We are starting work on this project officially, and it will involve two pieces: making the API resilient to the migrationMigration Moving the code, database and media files for a website site from one server to another. Most typically done when changing hosting companies., and running the actual migration. * (**Moved from On Hold**) [Nuxt 3 migration](https://github.com/WordPress/openverse/issues/411)– Since support will be ending, the team will be focusing on this before the end of the year. The team discussed a frontend code freeze before starting this work in order to help make the migration easier. Since there are a number of moving parts with this effort and questions to be answered (which branch to use, how to manage deployments, etc.), an implementation plan will be drafted to clarify the steps before proceeding. 9. ## Up next 10. The year is coming to an end, as as the maintainer team finishes the 2024 project planning process, we discussed what else could feasibly be accomplished this year. 11. * [Data normalization](https://github.com/WordPress/openverse/issues/430) – Pieces of this effort were tackled here and there throughout the year. The team will be looking into this to see what is left that might need to be done, and what we can tackle before the year is up! * [Move Openverse API and catalog to `openverse.org` subdomains](https://github.com/WordPress/openverse/issues/2037)– This one would be nice to do too while things are slower towards the end of the year. Something to keep in mind! ### Leave a Reply 󠀁[Cancel reply](https://make.wordpress.org/openverse/2023/11/30/openverse-monthly-priorities-meeting-2023-12-06/?output_format=md#respond)󠁿 You must be [logged in](https://login.wordpress.org/?redirect_to=https%3A%2F%2Fmake.wordpress.org%2Fopenverse%2F2023%2F11%2F30%2Fopenverse-monthly-priorities-meeting-2023-12-06%2F&locale=en_US) to post a comment. # Post navigation [← Community Meeting Recap (2023-11-28)](https://make.wordpress.org/openverse/2023/11/28/community-meeting-recap-2023-11-28/) [A week in Openverse: 2023-11-27 – 2023-12-04 →](https://make.wordpress.org/openverse/2023/12/04/last-week-openverse-2023-11-27-2023-12-04/)
