We have been focusing on supporting the changes to IETF 107.

There were six drafts negatively affected by the merge of the data 
changes made
during the first attempt at the server upgrade. One of these
(draft-ietf-dnssd-prireq) is still in the process of being corrected. 
The set
of drafts matched by community rules were also affected, which caused 
incorrect
results in the "Related Internet-Drafts" section of WG document pages 
but this
has already been addressed.

The next two major projects are removing Python 2 support and
moving to Django 2.

Work is underway, but behind schedule. IOLA has committed a new
graphical editor that I will set up in a test instance for the
secretariat to play with after the 107 week. I am still working with
IOLA to develop an updated completion date.

Part I is essentially complete, pending merging. Jay and I will meet
soon to discuss Part II.

Painless Security has made enhancements to the datatracker and the website.
Next they will be working towards enhancements to xml2rfc and the 
mailarchive.

The links from the mailarchive were deployed with the Python 3 deployment.
We are not planning on anything additional here in the near future.

This is done given the Python 3 deployment.

Done.

A major release removing torchbox's attempt at datatracker integration was
released this period. It ended up having a bug that is affecting Snippet 
links
to URLs when older pages are edited. The fix is known, and will be applied
after the 107 week.

The website is also on a _very_ old version of wagtail now. I am going to
prioritize moving it closer to head. At the moment, I'd be doing the work.

No progress has been made on this front - it was slated for after the
server migration. It would be good to discuss its relative priority level
during this meeting.

An SoW is in development. See 
<https://github.com/rjsparks/github-backup-sow/>.
In the discussion while developing it, we posited having a single 
identity that
became an owner of each WG ID repository. There is currently conversation on
the ietf-and-github mailing list that notes the risk of having such a thing.
The SoW allows for different credentials per repository, but we need to
understand what that means for the Secretariat (and eventually the 
datatracker)
from the perspective of managing the secret part of those credentials.

Benoit, Eric, Jay and I are working to find time to meet to set priorities
and a target date for deploying the containerized yc.o.

Should we put effort into making CodiMD available as a replacement or
alternatve to etherpad?

Concerns continue to be raised about datatracker performance. Should we
prioritize addressing these higher?

I'd like to schedule starting work on fronting our webservices with nginx
for shortly after the 107 week.
