Bug/PR triage:

* https://github.com/pypa/warehouse/issues/2850 Support searching for an exact phrase #2850

  • Sumana Suggestion: milestone 3, publicizing beta. Search is already better on Warehouse - good contribution for someone familiar with Elasticsearch - nice to have

  • Sumana’s now updated this.

* https://github.com/pypa/warehouse/issues/345 Ability to mark a version of a package as deprecated or unsupported #345

  • Sumana Suggestion: Post-launch

  • Sumana’s now updated this.

* https://github.com/pypa/warehouse/issues/2206 Sort user page project list by last release date #2206

* JSON API documentation https://github.com/pypa/warehouse/issues/2913

  • Sumana Suggestion: milestone 4, launch

  • PR exists - needs more prose, change pypi.python.org to pypi.org

  • Should have this in time to publicize beta – read-only API for programmatic access

  • Break into minimum (user mvp) vs. fuller docs

  • Sumana’s updated the issue

* Request for Trio trove classifier https://github.com/pypa/warehouse/issues/2881

  • Sumana Suggestion: maintainer MVP

  • Can only be done by administrator of pypi – we’ll add admin UI to Warehouse before final launch

* https://github.com/pypa/warehouse/issues/2401 Indicate in UI/API if a name has been prohibited #2401

  • Sumana Suggestion: milestone 4, launch

  • may allow malicious users to determine what the blacklist is

  • FAQ addresses why some names are prohibited - how/where do we currently link to this?

  • Have UI for packages removed by author? Not common

  • This is a question about UI for *upload*, not search, so how much does it protect non-package-maintainer users?

  • PEP 541 to take care of a bunch of this….

  • SH will share thoughts with Packaging WG before commenting

* https://github.com/pypa/warehouse/issues/994 Add support for API keys #994

  • lukesneeringer wants to scope this out and asks whether anyone objects, volunteers to do this work + two-factor auth

  • Yes - Luke can work on this – mark as post-launch milestone

  • Sumana has updated the issue

* https://github.com/pypa/warehouse/issues/360 Add some sort of webhooks support #360

  • Sumana Suggestion: post-launch

  • New feature, not in legacy

  • Sumana has updated the issue

* https://github.com/pypa/warehouse/issues/1855 Expose what extras are available for install #1855

  • Sumana Suggestion: cool but not urgent

  • Nice to have - nice additional feature

  • Sumana updated the issue

* Issue 999

  • Nicole asks about this. maintainer MVP - will be closed with change password PR.

Things to ask Donald to do:

Sumana to find out his current PyPA work

Maintainer MVP milestone work remaining:

https://github.com/pypa/warehouse/milestone/8

Still on schedule for maintainer MVP milestone at end of Feb, and in fact, may well be substantially earlier

https://github.com/pypa/warehouse/projects/1 is a helpful overview, teammates say

Dustin and Nicole report they believe their Maintainer MVP issues will be resolved by Monday Feb 19th, unless her UI testing reveals showstoppers

Infrastructure readiness: Barring unforeseen issues, we can promote maintainer MVP on Heroku. Infra changeover needs to be done before milestone 3, but we can shift over a fraction of pip installs starting at milestone 2 – need monitoring and metrics to do this.

Cautious optimism about publicizing Maintainer MVP middle of next week

To do:
