Code developments
-

- Page styling is now implemented with Sass. See

https://git.snowdrift.coop/sd/snowdrift/blob/master/BUILD.md#adding-and-updating-sass-files
  for some usage notes.
- CI is up and running: https://git.snowdrift.coop/sd/snowdrift/pipelines .
- Most of the original prototype
  (https://snowdrift.sylphs.net/prototypes/alpha/) is now actually
implemented
  in master.
- build.sh got tweaked, and builds work on macOS, NixOS, and Arch now
(as well
  as Debian-based systems, which are a breeze).

Meta developments
-

- Some triaging has happened for issues; sort by 'label priority' as
seen here:

https://git.snowdrift.coop/sd/snowdrift/issues?sort=label_priority=opened
- Or look, I started toying with Gitlab's issue boards:
  https://git.snowdrift.coop/sd/snowdrift/boards
- Instructions for manually testing Stripe integration have been added to
  BUILD.sh.

Current and upcoming work
-

- In my opinion, the following work is needed to reach "alpha":

1. Next items on the board:
   https://git.snowdrift.coop/sd/snowdrift/boards
2. Throw a lot of tests at the mechanism

- However, I think we need to talk about what "alpha" means. I.e., what
are our
  goals, really? I think it's been long enough that we should touch base
on this
  topic again.

- That's not just for devs, so I'll ask that over at the discuss mailing
  list. (Join if you want to follow along:
  https://lists.snowdrift.coop/mailman/listinfo/discuss)

- We still need improvements to miminize needless rebuilds.
- stack v1.5 might help.

- Logging and monitoring is the most important (and nonexistent) piece
of our
  architecture. I'm going to look at influxdb and grafana; other suggestions
  welcome.

Okay, seems non-pressing then, so I'm not going to worry about it for the 
moment. If it becomes important/pressing later we can re-evaluate.

The problem has gone way down recently. I did set up postgrey, which
seemed to help a lot.
