We are on track to land the Bring Back Take-What-You-Want for Team Gratipay milestone this week! 💃

What are we gonna do next? In addition to the rest of the current roadmap, we are also getting increasing pressure on #432. Where does that fit? Can we get something done on that this week, even, for gratipay/gratipay.com#3630 (comment)?

[chadwhitacre]

Working on an edit in this comment ...

Okay! Conveniently, gratipay/gratipay.com#3630 was/is already on the Pivot milestone! 😄 I'm sensing both internal (team) and external (user) pressure to get that (~= #432) done, or at least to take some of the pressure off somehow.

Making Widgets 2.0 overlaps a lot with Tightening Up Onboarding, since the third-party widget we want is a lot like other payment companies' checkout buttons. Let's move (2.ii) under (3) ...

[chadwhitacre]

In the tradition of Refund Announcement (cf.) and Team Basics, how about we hive off gratipay/gratipay.com#3630 from the Pivot into another milestone to encompass #432?

[mattbk]

Sounds doable (the Pivot milestone is sort of a junk drawer). You're still spread over two repos with that milestone.

You're still spread over two repos with that milestone.

Well, it looks like we closed the IG Pivot early. You seeing something else?

P.S. I did take the opportunity to ping GitHub about providing multi-repo milestones ... GitLab (#446) probably already has it :-P

[mattbk]

Sorry, with the new milestone you're proposing. I don't mind.

I almost looked up whether GL did but figured they must by now.

[chadwhitacre]

Ah, gotcha. Yeah, let's break down the actual work on #432 ...

[chadwhitacre]

New "Decouple" milestones:

• https://github.com/gratipay/inside.gratipay.com/milestone/9
• https://github.com/gratipay/gratipay.com/milestone/22

[chadwhitacre]

Okay, gonna let the edit mellow for now, to be updated in the ticket description later this week.

[chadwhitacre]

The "Bring Back Take-What-You-Want for Team Gratipay" milestone is done! 😌

Let's try to land the product roadmap edit tomorrow ...

[chadwhitacre]

Alright, roadmap edited. The blockdiag isn't perfect but it's good enough for now.
