13.3 Planning
These are my thoughts for priorities in %13.3. I assume that all items scheduled for %13.2 were delivered; this is not going to be true. In areas where issues were not finished, please finish the work for %13.2 first before moving to these issues.
All issues listed are Deliverable (Total of 18 issues)
Build
Geo self service framework
Assumptions:
- Package File Replication is done
- We managed to merge all issues in gitlab-org&3109 (closed)
- Update 2020-07-14 Replication for additional data types is likely to miss the release but should be finished early in 13.3. We should still be able to start making progress on Snippet replication.

UI/UX Administrator improvements
@sunjungp may have delivered a new design for the Geo node overview, which Zack can work on.
Other than that there are frontend improvements possible for the SSF:
- gitlab-org/gitlab#228700 (closed)
- gitlab-org/gitlab#228712 (closed)
- gitlab-org/gitlab#228722 (closed)
These issue may change a bit depending on the current discussion about how to approach REST/GraphQL for the Geo Status endpoint.
@sunjungp may work on Global search during that release.

Validation
Assuming that we are getting to the end of gitlab-org&1507 (closed) we should organise internally to obtain the UMUX Lite score by the end of %13.4
