Topics and Call-outs

As we pick up tasks for the remainder of the sprint, here are the top priorities again that we set out at the beginning:

  1. SecureDrop Workstation: Solidify queue operation and transition to it for core client operations (replies, message downloads)

  2. SecureDrop Core: Significantly lower CI footprint by eliminating unnecessary jobs and optimizing resources

  3. SecureDrop Core: Address mod_wsgi blocker for Python 3 migration: https://github.com/freedomofpress/securedrop/issues/4292
