Input: 2015q3 quarter in review

Tuesday October 13, 2015, Will Kahn-Greene | share this (mastodon)

Note: This is an old post in a blog with a lot of posts over a long span of time. The world has changed, technologies have changed, and I've changed. It's likely this is out of date, the code doesn't work, the ideas haven't aged well, or the ideas were terrible to begin with. Let me know if you think this is something that needs updating.

Things to know:

Input is Mozilla's product feedback site.
Fjord is the code that runs Input.
We maintain project details and plans at https://wiki.mozilla.org/Firefox/Input.
I am Will Kahn-Greene and I'm the tech lead, architect, QA and primary developer on Input.

This is the quarter in review for Mozilla Input!

Nothing exciting this quarter. We added more tests and a new suggester.

Contributor stats

Taranjeet finished cleaning up after switching from nose to pytest. We no longer use eq_ and ok_.

L Guruprasad updated requirements--something we haven't done in a while. He also fixed the pre-commit issues we were having (yay!) and created an AnalyzerProfileFactory which simplified a bunch of repetitive test code.

Accomplishments

Trigger rule suggester: We created a trigger rule suggester that suggests links to users leaving feedback that matches existing rules.

Trigger rule suggester

Input: Trigger rule project Phase 1

Upgrade to Django 1.8: This took us a long time to work through because there were all kinds of things that needed to be fixed first. It's done now!

I wrote up a blog post summarizing all the things involved.

Input: Moving to Django 1.8

Lots of updates: We upgraded a lot of requirements to more recent versions of things. Further, we nixed a bunch that we weren't really using.

Summary

It was a decent quarter. Nothing special, but nothing worrying either.
