Re: Notes from today's infrastructure meeting

Sounds good. I'm sure Renoir & Doug will be putting some technical proposal
out for this, but some other things to think about as we move forward with
this:

For CSS properties:

* For remaining properties should script delete the example? Leave the
example, but delete the link? Or move the example to code.webplatform.org?
* And if we move it, can we change the elements to lowercase?

For areas we haven't manually vetted:

Should we wait until there's an editing pass and just deal with the ones
left? Or would you prefer some script solution to get rid of the reference
to msdn as quickly as possible?

Thank you, Julee.
 
For this item:
 
Script for deleting or converting code examples at
samples.msdn.microsoft.com to code.webplatform.org
 
Although we should be mostly done with CSS, there are still many of these
left in HTML and other areas. Any progress Renoir can make in automating the
identification of samples still pointing to MSDN is greatly appreciated.

Hi folks:

 

In today's meeting, we focused on the infrastructure items that the CSS
properties project is dependent on: compatibility tables, compatibility info
graphics, flags UI, stability, script for msdn code examples

 

---------------------------

 

Compatibility tables - Doug & Renoir will isolate tasks that need to be
done, so we can publicize and seek volunteers with appropriate skills

 

---------------------------

 

Compatibility infographics ­ Although there is always room for improvement,
we consider this DONE for CSS props launch.

 

---------------------------

 

Stability - is good now, we now can see global health, ID glitches & fix
them quickly. We consider this DONE for CSS props launch. (Switching to the
new service provider cannot disrupt traffic.)

 

---------------------------

 

Script for deleting or converting code examples at
samples.msdn.microsoft.com to code.webplatform.org ‹ We don't expect a lot
of these to be left, as they should have been updated/deleted/converted
during the editing process. But Renoir will investigate how to ID any
remaining examples and how to handle them.

 

e.g.: 
http://docs.webplatform.org/wiki/css/properties/-ms-scrollbar-highlight-colo
r points to 
http://samples.msdn.microsoft.com/workshop/samples/author/dhtml/refs/scrollb
arColor.htm

 

---------------------------

 

Flags UI - The flags UI (as it stands now or in the latest comps) is NOT
sufficient for notifying a visitor that the page is not ready for
consumption. So, we have modified proposal: one pictograph w/ explanation,
flags displayed only in editing form, www landing page should also explain
pictograph.

 

Doug & Renoir will isolate tasks that need to be done, so we can publicize
and seek volunteers with appropriate skills.

 

I will send out a separate email (subject: What do you think about changing
the UI for unfinished pages? (no flags, one big warning sign instead)),
outlining the proposal. Will you please reply to that with any comments you
may have? 

 

---------------------------

 

Other things discussed: CSS properties project: Julee & Scott to take over
verifying pages from Doug. This way, we can get to a list of what still
needs to be done.

 

---------------------------

 

That's all for now!
