Hosting Meeting Notes: January 3, 2018

Here’s the summary of our meeting in #hosting-community on Wednesday, January 3rd, 2018 at 1800 UTC (Slack archive).

Distributed Testing

  • Cloudways is now reporting results! That brings us to 4 hosts reporting results.
  • @danielbachhuber indicated it would be a good idea to create a game plan on what we would like to have accomplished by the end of Q1
  • @mikeschroder suggested a few long term goals for Distributed Testing:
    • Have more hosts represented
    • Report information back to hosts when failures occur that are not also failing on WordPress coreCore Core is the set of software required to run WordPress. The Core Team builds WordPress.’s Travis CI.
    • Expose that information to committers so that they know if they’ve broken things on hosts when it’s passing on WordPress core’s Travis CI.
  • @danielbachhuber indicated it would make sense to do a 2-4 week dev sprint at some point to cover the following:
    • Research to determine whether an environment-specific failure has happened yet.
    • Writing WordPress core’s Travis CI results to the databaseDatabase A database is an organized collection of data. Access to this data is usually provided by a "database management system" (DBMS) consisting of an integrated set of computer software that allows users to interact with one or more databases and provides access to all of the data contained in the database. Because of the close relationship between them, the term "database" is often used casually to refer to both a database and the DBMS used to manipulate it., so the system can determine environment-specific failures.
      • @danielbachhuber indicated that this item seems like a low-hanging fruit that he could start with over the next week or so.
    • Sending notifications (email, SlackSlack Slack is a Collaborative Group Chat Platform https://slack.com/. The WordPress community has its own Slack Channel at https://make.wordpress.org/chat/. or otherwise) when there’s an environment-specific failure.
    • Minor UXUX UX is an acronym for User Experience - the way the user uses the UI. Think �?what they are doing’ and less about how they do it. improvements to the reporting page (display all reporters at the top, etc.)

HostingHosting A web hosting service is a type of Internet hosting service that allows individuals and organizations to make their website accessible via the World Wide Web. Best Practices Documentation

  • @andrewtaylor-1 made the hosting environment page live in the hosting handbook
  • @andrewtaylor-1 said it would be better to finish the sections that are closest to being done before exploring auto-publishing from GithubGitHub GitHub is a website that offers online implementation of git repositories that can can easily be shared, copied and modified by other developers. Public repositories are free to host, private repositories require a paid subscription. GitHub introduced the concept of the �?pull request’ where code changes done in branches by contributors can be reviewed and discussed before being merged be the repository owner. to the hosting handbook
    • Reliability is the closest to being done
      • Final review to be done by next meeting
        • @andrewtaylor-1 will look for comments from @jadonn and @mikeschroder, as well as any others willing to help out, then he will do a final review for publish after the next hosting meeting.
    • Security has placeholders and needs content for User Accounts, Uploads vs. Core Files, and WordPress Users and Roles
    • Performance has the most placeholders

A Beta phase generally begins when the software is feature complete but likely to contain a number of known or unknown bugs. Software in the beta phase will generally have many more bugs in it than completed software, speed or performance issues, and may still cause crashes or data loss. The focus of beta testing is reducing impacts to users, often incorporating usability testing. program for more hosts to work through process before wide promotion.

  • The primary concerns are around the process for what to do when a failure occurs — how hosts get notified, and what the process should be for for getting them fixed, so we’ll be working through that during beta.
