In Progress Projects

Search relevancy sandbox

Proportional index was under review for some time, but is now merged! All that remains is a small DAG to point the aliases, which @stacimc is actively working on.

Additional search views for the frontend

The implementation plan was updated after discussion and is under review. We have changed the approach to handling source, creator, and tag urls due to encoding issues in URLURL A specific web address of a website or web page on the Internet, such as a website’s URL www.wordpress.org paths.

There are still a few remaining UXUX UX is an acronym for User Experience - the way the user uses the UI. Think ‘what they are doing’ and less about how they do it. considerations which @olgabulat and @fcoveram are working on:
- Truncating long tag lists on single results
- Source links on the creator pages
Clearly document all media properties

@obulat has a local PR that needs a description and will be pushed this week. Then, another PR will be needed for adding property descriptions to the docs.

Sensitive content report moderation

Dhruv’s moderation metrics IP is pending approval but has been reviewed.

Nuxt 3 migrationMigration Moving the code, database and media files for a website site from one server to another. Most typically done when changing hosting companies.

Will reassess in April. Zack has some thoughts on alternatives to Nuxt and their feasibility that he will share prior.

Data normalization

The implementation plan is up for review and discussion 🥳.

In Kickoff

We moved Dark Mode (assigned to @fcoveram) and Incorporate Rekognition data (assigned to @aetherunbound) into kickoff! Francisco intends to write a project proposal for next week; Madison will work on the Rekognition data PP and IP this month.

Up Next

We discussed a new project “Move the Data Refresh into the Catalog” (as opposed to the ingestion server) which we will create. We discussed the scheduling of this project. @olgabulat shared some reservations about this project delaying the Rekognition work, but @stacimc and @aetherunbound suggested that we only commit to writing a proposal for the project this month with the intention of better understanding the feasibility and amount of required work. @zackkrida suggested a 2-3hr timeboxed experiment to…just do it! And see how it goes. Emphasized that @stacimc has recently shipped (or nearly shipped) some larger initiatives and the timing seems good to “pivot” to this.
