Feb 21 - Mar 4, 2022
Report on iteration Feb 21, 2022 — Mar 4, 2022 (includes all issues completed before Mar 7, 2022).
This iteration we were primarily focused on Geniza, but did devote some efforts towards Startwords. Our development velocity has stabilized a bit: 13 points, 20 issues, for a rolling velocity of 13.
Geniza
We released another update (version 4.2) with more new features and improvements to the public site. The most visible change is the filter panel on the document search, which now includes three new filters related to scholarship records. We’re also making progress on designs and backend support for the RTL versions of the site.
Startwords
This iteration we made some small progress on design and infrastructure updates needed for Issue 3.
