* Xing
* Miki
* Elliot
* Alex
* Giovanni
* Julian
* Ali

### Catch-up round

*Max. 3 minutes each*

Marnik:
 * Coding week notes - Agenda item see below.

Miki:
 * No relevant updates (I mostly worked on aiidalab) - working on `StructureData` issues: [query](https://github.com/aiidateam/aiida-atomistic/issues/47), [kinds detection](https://github.com/aiidateam/aiida-atomistic/issues/46) and [immutability](https://github.com/aiidateam/aiida-atomistic/issues/48).

Julian:
* [[#6565] Refactor: Add the `_prepare_yml` method to `AbstractCode`](https://github.com/aiidateam/aiida-core/pull/6565): Merged
* [[#6584] Add `get_total_size_on_disk` method to `RemoteData`](https://github.com/aiidateam/aiida-core/pull/6584): Calling `listdir_withattributes` method recursively for tree of the `RemoteData`. Used to issue warning about size when dumping remote process data. Takes a while, not sure if this can be made more efficient.
* [[#6570] DRAFT: Add `verdi storage dump` and `raw/rich data dumping`](https://github.com/aiidateam/aiida-core/pull/6570): Lots of good input from GM. Will implement those and simplify things.

Giovanni:
* Mostly testing AiiDA-QE via the AiiDAlab demo server. Some comments/tasks that might also affect the plugin itself. Might be good to coordinate between Xing & co (on the app side) with the AiiDA-QE team (Michael, Timo, Marnik, ...) -> good to get a list of AiiDA-QE tasks, they could be prioritized in the coding week?

Jason: 
* Not too much related to aiida-core. 
* The failed docker CI test should be fixed by two PRs: [#6581](https://github.com/aiidateam/aiida-core/pull/6581) [#6573](https://github.com/aiidateam/aiida-core/pull/6573), merge them? 

Xing:
* Focused on AiiDAlab in the last few weeks. Nothing to report in aiida-core.


Kristjan:
* coding week comment: Carlo asked to check some errors in their/our NMR workflows, should I add this as a separate topic?
* aiida docs
    * robots.txt added (https://github.com/aiidateam/aiida-metapkg/pull/9)
        * https://aiida.readthedocs.io/robots.txt
    * Google index still not good (maybe requires more time), good to set up google search console to check details
        * needs to be associated with a gmail account
            * (aiidateam@gmail.com possibly, but sometimes requires 2FA, and only Giovanni has access i think)
                * decision - use aiidateam@gmail.com and try to give access to multiple team members.
    * todo for docs - rank "topics" and "how-to-guides" high in search priority
        * e.g. searching for "group" doesn't really allow to easily find https://aiida.readthedocs.io/projects/aiida-core/en/stable/howto/data.html#how-to-group-nodes

Ali:
* Working on:
    * [Allow for file uploads/downloads to be async](https://github.com/aiidateam/aiida-core/pull/6079/files)
    * 15 issues are open on `aiida-core` label:priority/important & label:type/bug
    maybe we can assign people based on the responsibility team
* Open PRs:
    *  [PR aiida-core](https://github.com/aiidateam/plumpy/pull/288)
    *  [PR plumpy](https://github.com/aiidateam/plumpy/pull/288)
    * version check on sqlite C-language [PR aiida-core](https://github.com/aiidateam/aiida-core/pull/6567)

Alex:
* Working on scicode-widgets and the SwissTwins W&C project, no real aiida-core
