    • Ongoing in DocuSprint24
  • Improve CI testing framework (Be able to run GH actions locally?)
  • Test coverage, test quality ✅
  • More support for cloud RSES and cost control ✅
  • Evolve the roadmap mechanism (sprints…)
    • Planned for 37 release
  • Investigate how to propagate information on deprecation of certain modules/functionality (e.g. C3PO, OIDC modules, etc.)

15:50 → 15:55 Developers roundtable

• (Riccardo) richclient - should it go with the other clients in the client folder, or renamed to richconfig, or something else?
  • Should be part of the baseclient eventually
  • Broke client documentation generation, since it is not a real client (Has been resolved)
    • pydoc generation also updated
• (Riccardo) for docstring consistency - we have authors at the top of some filenames; do we want that or not? e.g. at top of rucio.cfg.template
  • No, should be removed
• (Mayank) New webui: 36.0.0 release is done
  • Some testing needed for x509 with all combinations of OS/browsers, which might require a small update, but in general it should work
  • Please test!
