Milestone

Plan for 0.4.06 milestone

• WxPythonProject: native header widget (David) not done -- by next week
• WxPythonProject: xp theme build problems resolved (David) we expect to be in this milestone
• CpiaFramework: sidebar kind filter/application bar (John) not done -- by next week
• CalendarBlocksProject: calendar view navigation (Katie) checked in -- not yet integrated with minical
• CpiaFramework: SWIG and check in mini-calendar (Jed) we expect to be in this milestone
• DetailViewProject: Add transparency choice, allday/anytime and datetime editing (Bryan) done
• DetailViewProject: Email attachment count display (Bryan) not done
• Sharing invitation updates (Bryan) not done

Plan for 0.4.07 milestone (feature freeze)

• WxPythonProject: native header widget (David)
• CpiaFramework: kind filter/application bar, sharing (John)
• CpiaFramework: dnd bugs (Jed)
• CalendarBlocksProject: edit in place and bug fixing (Katie)
• DeveloperPlatformProject: zaobao parcel (Alec)
• DeveloperPlatformProject: photo parcel (Katie)

Not going to make .5 release

• Deletion and trash (we will make sure you can remove an item from a particular collection)

Notes

• Jed would like to add SWIG and bake to the build -- he and David will follow up with Heikki. We anticipate this will make it much easier to make certain kinds of widgets changes (adding a new control, for example, where it needs to be swigged and new files are added to the build). Build pain has slowed us down a lot in this release, with the mini calendar and the header widget.
• The application filter is John's top priority, we hope to see it in a few days.
• Bryan, Morgen, Sheila, Mimi, Aparna, etc. will meet Thursday at 3 to go over sharing workflows (invitations, other details).
• Bryan, John, Alec, and Katie (and anyone else who is interested) will meet Thursday at 4 to talk about trees of blocks
• We'll have a meeting on Thursday to talk about sidebar and sharing.

Status

Katie

• CalendarBlocksProject: hope to check in navigation, all-day area, and some visual improvements today
• DeveloperPlatformProject: Alec is going to take zaobao related tasks.
• I'd like to meet with Bryan (and perhaps John and Alec) sometime this week to talk about detail-view-tree-of-blocks and attribute editors.

John's status

• JohnAnderson20050124

Bryan

• Sickly most of last week
• Working on attachment indicator (hopefully for today's milestone) and addressing my growing pile o' bugs.
• Sharing invitation updates won't happen in 4.06; tree-of-blocks swapping and sickness slowed me down.
• 4.06 does have the allDay/anyTime interaction with time entry, however.

Alec's status

• Fixed some minor UI bugs - grid reset problem, about window, etc.
• checkins delayed due to delays in getting my CVS account activated (but I have CVS access now)
• Started ZaoBao^? cleanup - content model and integration into existing summary view and detail view

Morgen

• Sharing bug fixes
• Removed the concept of "externalUUID"
• Beefed up the sharing error-handling/retry logic
• Misc. servlet tweaks, especially switching the servlets to use the main thread's repository view
• Working with Jeffrey on iCalendar export which is somewhat working; also working towards CalDAV interop
• Started working on a "multi" format class for sharing which will determine what serialization format to use (iCalendar, vCard, CloudXML) depending on each item's kind.

Jed

• Finished up SWIG'ing of minicalendar and integrating it into chandler. Working with David to get the make install build up so that I can check in my python code.
• Fixed a few display issues (sidebar resizing, toolbar width, some border issues).
• Working on DnD bugs.
• Sick for a few days.

David's status

• more Column Header UI work
  • initial Win32 implementation complete
  • working on wxControl/wxRenderer implementation
• almost finished with (will make this milestone):
  • finishing XP theme manifest files integration
  • Jed's mini-calendar build integration
