Attending: Eriol, Chelsea, Bernard, Fredrik, Dan, Rosy, Chris Zubak-Skees

Agenda

  • Anyone needs any specific time to discuss ongoing work?

  • Add here

  • Intros (if any new folks)

  • We did mini updates on new things we’ve learned or done lately including, India payments, healthcare, open source servers, boat repair, fish care, Parent park comms, smokeless incense.
  • Review what’s changed/completed in the past month

(See new releases: Releases · HyphaApp/hypha · GitHub)

  • Frederik notes that only 2 releases have been done, given finance and compliance work for OTF. Fixed some date widgets in Wagtail. Sidebar detail view is now ordered a bit differently. Have limited tokens to only access public API. More work is needed for “headless” authentication. Vendors can set up bank accounts, so staff can review/ask for corrections and coordinate with finance team and financial system.

  • Grateful for Chris’s fixes

Review of work expected to happen in the coming month

  • Dev

  • Security issues

  • Public issues: [META/EPIC] Security Audit recommendations from Aug 2021 · Issue #2642 · HyphaApp/hypha · GitHub

  • Private issues (potentially exploitable:https://github.com/HyphaApp/hypha-issues/issues)

  • See a mini burndown of completed issues in the we.hypha post:https://we.hypha.app/t/penetration-test-report-from-radically-open-security/140/8 (locked to security role in the forum adopters maintainers should have access)

  • examples of work: 2-factor authentication, requiring PW to make changes. Now this work is urgent, then finance and compliance work.

  • Finance work (OTF)

  • Next step: contracting and contract workflow. Approval form where staff can add needed info. Aims to be flexible, to work with both large and small orgs.

  • Design

  • Compliance work, PAF (OTF)

  • Working on making compliance steps flexible for different size orgs.

  • Trying to learn more about OS docu-sign, as some folks only want to

  • ACTION: put Chris Smith (G1FEF) in touch with Frederik and Bernard (Rosy)

  • Files tab: [Files tab spike]: what does the files tab need to do for users · Issue #2634 · HyphaApp/hypha · GitHub (waiting on OTF prioritisation)

  • Things like contracts will go here!

  • Reporting (connected to PM updates): Miro | Online Whiteboard for Visual Collaboration & Reporting functionality: Discussion and clarity - #14 by eriol

  • Got feedback re: “boring video” that the concept works

  • PM

  • Reporting feature feasibility scoping started and located here: Feasibility Review Template - M&E and Reporting - Adopters Nov & Dec 2021 - Google Sheets: Feasibility Review Template - M&E and Reporting - Adopters Nov & Dec 2021 & Jan 2022 - Google Sheets

  • Waiting on some comments from Allen re: DDP’s perspective on reporting, ideally to be received by the end of the week.

  • Eriol, Frederik, and Bernard did some feasibility scoping (linked above). Eriol shares screen to go through list.

  • Next stage of spreadsheet: need to get some questions answered from adopters.

  • Rosy asks about answering questions - how to share answers? Eriol recommends starting with comments in the doc and then moving to larger conversation if needed.

  • Submitting issues

  • how it currently happens and how it could be changed

  • Wishlist issue process pitch - mini demo

  • Reporting bugs

  • proposal to use marker.io: a browser plugin that allows the reporting of a bug/issue directly from user’s browser by creating video/audio

  • This saves the need to use github

  • Populating blank pages - please @ Emily (in we.hypha.app) with suggestions for pages you’d like to see

What else do folks want to discuss? Reply with agenda items!

  • @bernard says there is a way for applicants to not be visible to reviewers, but doesn’t remember how/where it’s done.
