Notes

Actionables

What was completed?

  • refactoring of getStructure, addition of the toggle for locked courses

  • refactor Categories / add CompositeCategory

  • refactor cache to use a config file for program title → CODE# mappings

  • Looking into getting docker to react with backend changes → Jared to follow up

  • Very simple fixes to how specialisations are handled in conditions_preprocessing.py and user.py to allow for honours + wildcards

  • Made list of common issues from error.json for specialisations

  • a lot of misc deployment stuff happened

  •  

What was done well?

  • Adding more people to reviews gave more exposure

  • Cards were generally more controlled this time, with only Joel’s one being a little cursed (improvement lol)

  • Progress has been ok for the most part

  •  

What could have been done better?

  • Be more responsive when people ask for review

 

Planning

Update plans for the future

Short term goals

(achieve by next retro)re

  • figure out if sprints is a good idea

  • learn the front-end a little more

 

Medium term goals

(review at next retro)

  • deployment ???? yes/no? (spoiler: no :/)

  • social

  • more reviews

 

Timeline

(ETA until release, etc)

  • probably this sprint and next sprint. Mostly dependant on frontend, with some of our cards requiring priority:

Error rendering macro 'jira' : null

Error rendering macro 'jira' : null

none of the above are too pressing except for the first one.

 

Misc

Random stuff
