Website

MVP is built, everything in the design is done

• Basically waiting on feedback from new exec and what content we missed

• Had to register for business account for FB API

  • Come up with different design to incorporate events

CMS FE

Blocked a little bit, trying to get as much working as we can

• Made most progress in previous terms

• Need to do auth, translate operations

CMS BE

Long-standing PRs got merged, incremental progress on image support ticket and DB support

• Current issue has workaround

What does the team want to do with the CMS?

WHAT NEEDS TO BE DONE BY END OF YEAR

• Split Website and CMS into separate repositories

  • Once that’s done, notify @Jared Lohtaja

• FE: login page

• Control flow:

  • FE gets Slate commands from user

  • Converts to CMS commands

  • Sends CMS commands to backend

  • BE sends CMS commands to FE

  • FE translates back into Slate commands

• BE: proper DB migration

• Multiple cursors (stretch goal)

@Thomas Liang @Laura Wen - there is progress made, but doesn’t look like it’s feasible to complete at the end of year

• We barely have a bugfix for what frontend is facing

• Still has to translation of operations

@Varun Sethu tasks aren’t complicated per se, but the backend team is too small to get these done within half a term

Plans for rest of term/year?

@Varun Sethu most of backend and frontend would be graduating

• Recruiting will be very difficult - value add doesn’t correlate to the amount of effort required

• @Laura Wen agrees

Try to finish off as much as we can with the CMS

Pivot the team to some other project

Do nothing

@James Teng if we had a lot of manpower, there’s a lot of work we could do in the website to polish the website?

• Could put a lot more effort into making it really nice

• Kinda worried if we combine two teams together, coordination would be tricky

  • If it’s just FE, we need to find something to do

  • We can keep ourselves busy with CSESoc website until end of year

What would BE do?

• @Westley Lo wanted to transfer into the FE team? → Transfer into FE

@Varun Sethu if there’s going to be a projects showcase, isn’t it good to just polish what we have and work on having something to present?

• If Culture needs extra people on hands the team could help?

@Laura Wen if CMS backend team is not continuing then FE will just transfer to website

@Thomas Liang BE can decide what to do on an individual basis?

• Westley is busy, Thomas L is busy

• Thomas Q doesn’t feel invested

• Brian is OK with leaving it as it is

• Varun is all good, Emily is same with all of them

1. No more CMS
   - Backend will keep themselves busy in some way
   - Frontend will transition to CSESoc website development until EOY
