What are you working on this week and why?

last week

[chadwhitacre]

Roadmap (what?)

Short Term

Embarrassments:

• can't edit teams (Team Basics)
• not using immutable ids (use id as primary key instead of username gratipay.com#835)
• widgets are broken (Radar 31 #389 (comment))
• escrow imprecision (Radar 31 #389 (comment))
• Security 9 (Radar 31 #389 (comment))
• no payroll! bring back take-what-you-want gratipay.com#3433

Long Term

Color code:

• red—external forces that we're under
• yellow—administration
• green—product development
• orange—marketing
• blue—capitalization

We should probably get some blog/microblog action going, it's been a while. Do we have anything to blog about? How's Twitter looking, @kzisme?

[kzisme]

It has indeed - Not much happening lately just a few mentions here and there. Any suggested content? I know #441 has been quite busy other than that I'm not sure @whit537 .

[chadwhitacre]

I was really encouraged by the call with the OuiShare folks today (#314 (comment)). It made me feel like we are on the right track going to OuiShare Fest, that these are Our People. Here's the part of the call where I really felt like that. You'll see I picked up on some of the language from this old lightening talk (from #314 (comment)) about open companies, open non-profits, and open governments. I like that old lightening talk a lot, too. Reminds me about why I started Gittip in the first place and what makes me excited about it. I think I'll find a lot of like-minded people at OuiShare Fest.

Maybe we should publish a blog post going back to that old lightening talk and also picking up on some of the recent calls—Nathan (#399), Neal (#403), Janelle (#72 (comment)), and now Taoufik and Francesca (#314 (comment)). Would that be an interesting post, do you think?

[chadwhitacre]

The other big things I see that we could report on are HackerOne and then the accounting work (#308, etc.). HackerOne would be a pretty easy post, but probably filler from an interest point of view. The accounting stuff is boring but important, also likely low-traffic, maybe worth waiting on that one until we are further along with it.

some of the recent calls

Also James (#421 (comment)).

I think tweeting as each of the new teams is approved would help us get some positive buzz.

[chadwhitacre]

Sounds good to me.

[chadwhitacre]

Inbox 16, GitHub 6, L2 Support 0, Vendors, etc. 0.

Gonna work down those queues while @kaguillera starts looking at the books for July 2012, and then jump on gratipay/finances#1 ... hopefully we can land that today!

[mattbk]

Support 0. I'm at least checking this every morning and trying to stay on top of it.

Looking to carve out time to review teams every day; things are still a little crazy around here.

[chadwhitacre]

P.S. @mattbk Is COS's work relevant to your day job at all? Are you aware of their preregistration challenge?

[mattbk]

At the edges, yes. I'm trying to push openness at my job, especially of data and communication. The preregistration challenge is new to me; it wouldn't work necessarily for my job but it might work for other academic research I'm involved in (academia doesn't care whether you're paid for work or not).

[chadwhitacre]

academia doesn't care whether you're paid for work or not

Apparently neither do we. 😞

But we shall!
