Follow-up from previous meeting

Current situation

- some fixes to bulk submission from WorkflowTaskAgent

- Not so many possibility for further compression

Documentation
- Agreed to use the `..literalinclude` magic for including in the agents' docstring what is in the ConfigTemplate.cfg files
- Andre' will update the developers' docs
- Andre' has a script to check that the default values are consistent wrt what is in the code
- dropped the idea of using the dirac.cfg for autoritative source for the /Systems section of the CS, will keep the rest
- stitching the /System section in dirac.cfg can probably be done at doc time
DB12:
Release planning, tests and certification
Release planning:
- v6r20 series
- v7r0 series
- the list of feature request is already closed
- Chris push for a "fast release"... it will be hard!
- Starting testing in September
Certification process:
- v7r0 certification:
- https://jenkins-dirac.web.cern.ch/ is open to registrations for who needs it or wants it
- 3 devs using it
- M2Crypto development can use that too
Weekly development(s) focus
HTTPS in DIRAC:
- presentation from Luis (see attached)
- proof of concept based on an implementation of the CS server serving via HTTPS and tornado-based
- It's possible and there are advantages
- already performant, but with python3 it should be much better supported (aSync IOLoop)
- list of tasks in LHCb Jira
- some preparation is needed and already possible
- long term plan
- M2Crypto is necessary
DIRAC: current PRs and tasks being worked on, or topics from Google forum
