Notes

Key rotation?

• app replacements capnp is not a scalable long-term solution
• should design something better
• Some app developers asked about this (sandforms?)

TTRSS

Upgrade questions Necessary steps to upgrade:

• Write blog post or other article about migration steps
  • Emphasize it as a "security enhancement", not a feature downgrade
  • Ian to work out a first draft
• Find some way to link people to it
• Inject an article? OR inject a whole feed?
• Sandstorm should have some way to put upgrade info in the notification tray...
  • Jacob will look for it (or open a new one)
• Merge Adam's static republishing change?
  • Should avoid falling back on the old http bridge
  • Should it be enabled by default?
  • Let's not wait for it
• Figure out whether anyone but us is using it? If so, try actively reaching out?
  • Adam emailed Kenton to ask for another stats usage snapshot.
• Obtain signing key from Jason? (Or rotate key with appid replacements capnp? --No. )
  • Jacob to reach out to Jason
• Submit to market queue
• Someone should canvas 3rd party plugins for inclusion
  • Jacob may get to this
• Ian will probably throw in the cron API for lolz
• Wait for trailing-slash patch to land? (Ian says not necessary anymore)
