SquashBugs and FightFires (December 1-15)
What (summary)
Collect and fix all bugs and feature tweaks that are currently on the minds of our people. When bugs or feature tweaks are too big, create a Task for prioritization during the current Iteration.
Why this is important
We need to improve our quality. Bugs tend to breed. We need to help out our community when urgent issues arise.
DoneDone
- AboutUsBugs has been audited and items on it have been answered (including whether it is on the QuickFix list or needs a task)
- SquashBugs and FightFires (November 16-30) has been audited and all items that aren't yet done have been moved from it to here (or discarded if appropriate)
- During the iteration, all urgent requests for the DevelopmentTeam and all items on the AboutUsBugs were swiftly moved onto either the QuickFix or Needs a Task sections of this page.
- All items in "QuickFix" are DoneDone
- All items in "Needs a Task" have a properly initialized task and include a reasonable "What (summary)" section
QuickFix
- EMail:_Tweak_to_Allow_Duplicate_Confirmation requires a quick fix. Perhaps we should contact David Braden for this one and check with him whether the problem persists. Umar Sheikh
- AboutUsBugs#Registrar broken link
- AboutUsBugs#Bad scraping on Anglo-Indians.com

- AboutUsBugs#xn--sarkrmz-x2abcb.net We probably need to contact Vinh about this one
- AboutUsBugs#Problem with search This looks like it would take some time configuring Lucene Search etc, and then fixing this bug.
From the end of October Iteration
- Why does the site die when one of the db servers become unresponsive? This is especially strange because it is fine if just MySQL goes kaput.
- The community team is no longer able to view 5000 recent changes ... this is true in both skins
- Need to remove the Ads by Google from pages that wouldn't be crawled by Google (for example search results) and edit pages
