Follow-up - How do we make sure strings in frontend-app-communications are sent to Transifex?

• Not fully discussed during the previous meeting as Pierre Mailhot was not present, but the topic was brought up in Slack.

• There seemed to be a blocker on the availability of Atlas for Quince, but it now seem available: https://github.com/openedx/frontend-app-communications/pull/156

MFEs documentation & reviews

Action items from the last meeting:

• Ali Hugo would bring up the topic of ownership for pushing new MFEs (or features in general) with the product working group

• Ned Batchelder (Deactivated) would be investigating the 3 repos in the edX Github organization that start with 'front end app,' one of which is private, and let Adolfo Brandes know the outcome.

Product & UX meeting

• Last core contributors update: “The Paragon Working Group would like to get members of the Product Working Group (and others in the community) more involved in UX discussions. This will allow individuals outside of 2U, not only to keep tabs on design updates, but also to help guide the design of Open edX. The idea is to start a cross-functional meeting for context/knowledge sharing around design. Anyone interested in getting involved?”

• Previous core contributors update: Discussions about setting up a betatester program

Product reviews & discussions

Previous core contributors update: “It is still hard to get more contributors involved in the product conversations in a timely manner.”

Low response rate to the contributors reports

• See the discussion in the last report, only 25% of core contributor respond. Is it lack of interest/use? Lack of core contributor work in the first place?

Usage of Slack vs more async tools

• A lot of activity only happens on Slack, which is hard to follow for anyone not spending their life there - it also encourages synchronicity, and the community’s archive is held up in a proprietary tool

• Should we make a more concerted effort to move to more async tools (and open source), like Discourse?
