Topics and Call-outs

• Tuesday, 9/23: Translation Tuesday Update

  • Yoruba marked as translatable

Allie

Yesterday:

• Export PR merged (thanks emkll!)
• Repo'd eloquence's bus ID issue and opened a workaround PR in securedrop-export: https://github.com/freedomofpress/securedrop-export/pull/16/
• Created a bunch of Needs discussion issues around Export

Today:

• Since we are leaning towards NOT blocking the UI during the actual transfer operation, I will be making the export dialog something the user can close at any time: https://github.com/freedomofpress/securedrop-client/issues/561
• Since a user can't actually stop a transfer that's underway, I will use the activity status bar as a placeholder way to communicate export status in case the user closes the dialog: https://github.com/freedomofpress/securedrop-client/issues/557
