Development Weekly Chat Recap 2021-11-30


Takeaways

  • Openverse contributors intend to speed up our code review time, as we identified a number of PRs that had been awaiting review for several weeks.
  • Our focus for this month is going to be continued focus on the new front-end components, and RTL support. Infra is focused on a new deployment strategy and staging previews for the frontend, while Catalog work is still on hold as we fix some production issues with the data refresh process.
  • We will manually generate new sample data for work on the API to resume.
  • Contributors are excited to discuss some re-architecture of the data pipeline, where we can potentially eliminate the need for two near-identical databases.
