[Ssc-dev] Missing today's scrum

[Wendy Betts]

Sorry, I was working on something and just saw this exchange about the scrum.  I agree, the email updates are probably the most useful approach at this point. 

In regard to the notifications, I looked over the ones I received.  I attempted to submit 13 images yesterday.  Three went through and were correctly marked with the green check.  The remaining ten failed.  Seven of those were correctly marked with the red "x".  The other three still show the processing arrows.  So, those three are the only notifications I received that aren't entirely correct, and at least they don't give the false impression of having gone through.  The other notifications worked correctly.

This is an important point, which is that it is *virtually guaranteed*
that on a mobile device, using a mobile network, any type of submission
of a large file (be it a high-res photo or even larger high-res video),
is likely to fail due to network issues, battery issues, processor
issues, etc.

Adding in Tor to that mix, makes it even trickier, because you are
cutting your bandwidth at best by 75% and likely more.

At this point, we are already doing what we can to ensure the upload
happens, and I am okay with it sometimes failing.

What we MUST ensure though is that the user knows when it has failed,
and when it has completed, and not be fooled into thinking it has gone
through when it has not, or not be properly notified when it has failed,
so they can manually try again.
