Inbox 2, H1GH 0, L2 Support 0, Vendors, etc. 0. 💃

Today is Aspen's 10th birthday! We didn't get 1.0 out the door today, unfortunately. 😞 Thankfully, this deadline was self-imposed (unlike some others :P ). We'll keep chipping away at it, but for the most part I'm planning to pay more attention over here again. With #712 (comment), the security queue is back on my shoulders. Tomorrow I hope to start looking at the Decouple milestone.

[chadwhitacre]

Okay! Where are we?

[chadwhitacre]

/me dives into gratipay/gratipay.com#4117 ...

[chadwhitacre]

Alright, gratipay/gratipay.com#4117 is topped up. Now what?

[chadwhitacre]

I'm reviewing PRs.

[chadwhitacre]

My goals for the day are:

• run payday
• submit Update tests for new mixins gratipay.com#4127 for review
• review Rewrite of the dashboard reconciliation gratipay.com#3975 and Added 'noindex' and 'nofollow' in the meta tag gratipay.com#4125 with @kaguillera
• potentially start onboarding Chaz (new guy, possibly showing up this afternoon) trying again next week
• clean up the security queue → onboard @dmk246 #830
• maybe start a PR for revising the "New Project(!)" form → Revise the New Project form gratipay.com#4130 💃

[mattbk]

Your last goal is my first goal. 😉

[mattbk]

Hey, we have "Projects" and a kanban board here on IG now?

[chadwhitacre]

@mattbk Ya! That is from GitHub Universe. Seems like it should be integrated with milestones, but it's not (that I can tell).
