Site Interventions

  • owner: Dennis Schubert

  • owner: Thomas Wisniewski, James Graham

Site Interventions need to be tested automatically.

Machine Learning Bot for Webcompat triage

  • owner: Ksenia Berezina

We receive a lot of bugs on webcompat.com, A team of two persons is currently triaging them with the help of a Webcompat Machine Learning Bot @@link to documentation@@. The bot will identify valid and invalid issues and accelerate the triage.

  • owner: Ksenia Berezina

A cross browser issue reporting Web site has been created and is maintained on GitHub. Developed in Python, JavaScript.
