The best description I can find in Phabricator for "Turning off OCG"
is . There is also
.

There was also a blurb in Tech News

Hopefully someone working on the project can give pointers to the
chromium investigation.

The first sentence is unclear. I think it means "We would like to turn 
off OCG" (i.e. "replace OCG"), where the second sentence indicates a 
step to that purpose. Please confirm.

== Callouts ==
* Selenium Ruby framework deprecation (September)
https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/phame/post/view/75/selenium_ruby_framework_deprecation_september/
* Discovery: Maps: Figuring out what to do with code no one on the team is
in charge of
* New linter category coming up - html5-misnesting - which triggers when
misnested tags behave different in Tidy vs. HTML5 ( is notably one of
them).
*Eventlogging purging progressing much too slowly, it is becoming clear we
cannot sustain mysql backend for EventLogging, we are prioritizing
sunsetting mysql, replacing it with a better EventLogging analytics
experience on the Hadoop cluster
*Please resolve comments that can be resolved in proposal of redesign of
Scrum of Scrums meeting:
https://docs.google.com/document/d/11gMloAKqtOJsKaDhpx_oIE8-vXvJs7pyLsDhqikaG08/edit?ts=59b0e080


== Technology ==

   -

=== Analytics ===
* Blockers: none
* Updates
**Working full steam to hit our goal of having a backend for wikistats 2.0
to support editing metrics (unique devices and pageviews are alredy
supported on ui). It is looking like we are going to split our current
druid cluster (6 hosts) into two clusters: one private, one public so
restbase services connect to public cluster.  The security concerns arising
from this decision will probably make the goal spill into next quarter but
we will have an alpha next quarter if no suprises arise.
**We have use differential for 1 quarter and we are going back to gerrit,
not much value added.
**Eventlogging purging progressing much too slowly, it is becoming clear we
cannot sustain mysql backend for EventLogging, we are prioritizing
sunsetting mysql, replacing it with a better EventLogging analytics
experience on the Hadoop cluster
**Removing outdated instrumentation of events from EventLogging that are
now automagically available via eventbus, like “page create”.

 Parsing 
* New linter category coming up
** html5-misnesting: This triggers when misnested tags behave different in
Tidy vs. HTML5 ( is notably one of them).
* Repeat update from last week as an FYI
** Heads up for Parsoid clients (VE, CX, Flow, MCS)
***  wrapping code is now out of WIP and in review (
https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/#/c/364933/) -- please test your code to
make sure you can handle  wrappers. If necessary, you can
pre-process the DOM to strip out  tags. Parsoid's output is
guaranteed to preserve template wrapping semantics with / without 
tags.
