    5. ACTION: aarowlaptop look into gerrit update (yuliyabozhko, 08:22:40)

  3.  tobiasz on non-reusable textboxes: new block type or diversified interface for existing one (yuliyabozhko, 08:23:12)
    1. users complain about text boxes in copied pages where they don’t see the hint and accidentally overwrite the original text. (anitsirk, 08:24:29)
    2. https://bugs.launchpad.net/mahara/+bug/1296390 (aarowlaptop, 08:25:23)
    3. https://bugs.launchpad.net/mahara/+bug/1296390 (yuliyabozhko, 08:25:38)
    4. IDEA: 1) make it distinguishable in one block that you can have re-usable notes and those that can’t be re-used (anitsirk, 08:26:22)
    5. IDEA: 2) have two different blocktypes because then the non-reusable text snippets can have a simpler interface (anitsirk, 08:26:44)
    6. IDEA: have a confirm prompt when saving a textbox alerting user that it will change in other places - giving them options 'ok' 'no make copy' or 'cancel' (yuliyabozhko, 08:42:58)
    7. IDEA: there should be two different text blocktypes and that the re-usable one needs some more usability work to make it clear that text will be replaced elsewhere if not copied. (anitsirk, 08:46:07)
    8. ACTION: everyone have a look at discussion forum and bug listing https://bugs.launchpad.net/mahara/+bug/1296390 if anything can be added to the discussion (yuliyabozhko, 08:46:44)
    9. https://bugs.launchpad.net/mahara/+bug/1152441 (anitsirk, 08:47:30)
    10. IDEA: in order to hook it into elasticsearch it may well need to be an artefact on the backend... just not an artefact that is viewable and editable on its own (anitsirk, 08:54:27)

  4.  Yuliya on reviewing patches from Totara (yuliyabozhko, 08:58:40)
    1. https://reviews.mahara.org/#/c/3374/ (simoncoggins1, 09:06:28)

  5.  aarowlaptop on allowing anonymous-author portfolio pages (yuliyabozhko, 09:08:42)
