TOPIC: Readiness markers bugs

Jen: Can we talk about the Readiness markers? Is there volunteers to improve CSS for the flags to make them better.

… We rolled them out but the quality needs to be improved as it was more of a Prototype and

… we should make sure it displays better.

… We got issue reports about the marker to be flashing on Google Chrome, and in some mobile context to block the view.

… Maybe somebody with more experience in CSS could tackle this

shepazu [agrees]

TOPIC: Stability and system update

renoirb: In order to improve the stability, I have to undertake upgrade of a few web applications that are

… older than a year and haven’t been upgraded. It includes database server, Operating server versions, MediaWiki, BugGenie, etc.

… I have things going on in that direction, nothing is ready yet.

… Since I got to a “feature complete” state with the SSO and Compatibility tables,

… I should now focus on tidying up the code while upgrading the underlying softwares.

… That’s where I’m going to focus in the next days
