Meeting Notes

• 0.6: Bug SWAG status
  • This is a first shot: the data are raw, don't take them too seriously... breeze deeply...
  • Just based on raw data though, we see that the amount of "bug fixing" is big: 1 to 2 months...
  • Ways to mitigate
    • Get everyone to use a development environment so that everyone can debug wxWidgets issues
    • Work with Mimi and Design so that we tweak the Design to be closer to existing Widgets instead of reinventing some when we don't need to
    • Use Robin as a resource for some of the general wxWidgets issues
• Specs & Documentation
  • Sheila will own the Spec process: we (devs) still need to contribute to the spec writing though
  • Doc: Parcel tutorial needs a revision (in the CSG perspective). John and Alec will work on that.
• Task Tracking & Processes
  • Bug bash: sort of irrelevant for Apps right now since we are basicaly in bug fix mode now...
  • Check points and milestones: sounds good. Philippe to put up a plan with the team and sync up with Lisa on an overall Chandler basis
  • Components to update: let's not forget that in the schedule: SWIG 1.3.24 and wxPython 2.5.5 of course (already assigned to David) but also Python, FC3 (or 4), OS X 10.4 (Tiger), Subversion, etc...
  • Use of Eclipse: John to spend a couple of days on this this week and report to the team. Hope is: we'll have a good usable X-platform environment to develop and debug the wxWidgets C++
• CSG Meeting: Coming up April 21st and 22th. John and Alec to spend some time on this.

Actions

• Philippe and the dev team will SWAG tasks for 0.6
• Philippe to load balance and propose draft plan for the Apps team. Need to sync up with Lisa (master planner for 0.6)
• Katie to set performance targets/goals for 0.6
