The big news in Warehouse world is that we tentatively believe we can get our first milestone[0] out by the end of February. So around then you can expect emails and other announcements asking package maintainers to test pypi.org and give us bug reports.
Speaking of announcements, we now have a new PyPI-announce mailing list.[1] I encourage you to subscribe. It'll be low-traffic and we'll only post there with major PyPI news. Ernest is nearing the end of his concentration on infrastructure work, especially on Cabotage[2] which helps manage our Kubernetes security.[3] Nicole and Dustin are steadily finishing views and design for maintainer features (e.g., project edit button[4]). And Laura and Sumana are preparing for the publicity push around the Maintainer MVP, and have improved some docs to improve developer experience (e.g., twine[5], Warehouse testing instructions[6], and the PyPA roadmap[7]). Details are in our meeting notes from yesterday.[8] Thanks alanbato for improving Warehouse's error messages![9] If you want to get started contributing to Warehouse, Ernest wants to help you and give you stickers, and has 30-minute 1:1 slots available.[10] Thanks to Mozilla for their support for the PyPI & Warehouse work![11] [0] https://github.com/pypa/warehouse/milestone/8 [1] https://mail.python.org/mm3/mailman3/lists/pypi-announce.python.org/ [2] https://github.com/cabotage/cabotage-app [3] https://github.com/python/pypi-infra/pull/3 [4] https://github.com/pypa/warehouse/pull/2823 [5] https://github.com/pypa/twine/pull/292 [6] https://github.com/pypa/warehouse/pull/2758 [7] https://github.com/pypa/pypa.io/pull/23 [8] https://wiki.python.org/psf/PackagingWG/2018-01-29-Warehouse [9] https://github.com/pypa/warehouse/pull/2767 [10] https://twitter.com/EWDurbin/status/955415184339849217 [11] https://pyfound.blogspot.com/2017/11/the-psf-awarded-moss-grant-pypi.html -- Sumana Harihareswara Warehouse project manager Changeset Consulting https://changeset.nyc
