Weekly Status: 10/31-11/6
On Wednesday, I spent the day finishing up the Landing page. It didn’t end up quite like Dean and I wanted due to some issues with the video, but I think it’s still good for the new users to get an introduction to Miro.
Thursday and Friday were spent working on the new featured channel queue. It’s not live yet, but it should make the featured channel section more useful for everyone. Now when a super-moderator features a channel, it goes into a queue. The featured section on the front page is updated once per day, pulling a channel from the queue round-robin style so that everyone gets a chance to see their channel on the front page.
This week I’ve been working on making the Guide faster in preparation for the eventual 1.0 release of Miro. The database has been getting more and more use and so I’m trying to add more caching to keep the guide going fast.
That’s what I’ll be working on for the rest of this week, along with some visual tweaks. If I’ve got time, I’ll be working on #9161, adding a category for Adult and a category for Sexuality channels.
