Sprint 5: Slot and Fill feature released

[SantosGuillamot]

Sprint 5 Planning

We’re going to keep the 4 weeks sprints for the moment because we feel that this one worked better than the previous ones.

In Sprint 5, our focus is going to be, in this order:

• Finish all the features that are currently in progress.
• Solve all the high priority bugs.
• If we still have time, we’d love to work on the ads packages, as they are our next priority.

Included in the sprint:

• All the issues that were in progress in the Sprint 4.
• Add handler to fetch the state with the comments [21pt]: This is the second part of the WP comments package. This way, it’d be finished and users can start implementing and testing it.
• Unexpected URL should return 404 page [5pt].
• Get rid of ts-node in our CLI [5pt].
• TypeScript 3.9 breaks @frontity/source types [8pt].

Backlog:

• Google Ad Manager package [8pt].
• SmartAdServer package [10pt].

Apart from that, we may ask Edu for some support to develop these features (or new ones).

You can keep track of the process at the Sprint board.
