Minutes

Specs

• We're making progress. Good review on Side Bar. Big thanks to Mimi for leading this. Looks like we are converging here.
• We need (in the case of Side Bar for sure) add the tasks in Bugzilla to track the implementation.
• Dev owner have been assigned to specs on the planning page. Status and upcoming actions listed there. Please check the Planning page.
• We need to set time to write the technical design part.
• Visual Guidelines. Philippe to add it to the planning table. Call for a meeting to review the spec. Note that sometimes, we do not have all the controls on widget to give the exact perfect specified look but we may have close matches. Devs need to identify and propose those trade off in the spec. Let's discuss at the review.

Schedule

• Global status : 5 days left before 0.5.03 and still lots to be done. Let's make sure we focus on this and nail that milestone.
• Individual status :
  • Donn and David : on track
  • John : will work on the small ones first, can't debug widgets issues easily (common issue for all App devs) and trying to fix that before moving forward on bugs.
  • Bryan : trying to close as much items as possible but not sure what exactly will be done. Focusing on 0.5.03 this week.
  • Jed : lots of things to commit today (before SVN switch...). Should be on track for the milestone.

Engineering Issues

• CVS to SVN : We all need to install client SVN and sync up with Bear to get SVN account. Make sure you commit tonight and keep track on your machine of all SVN commit for the coming week (in case we have to reverse to CVS...). We certainly all need to plan half a day for the switch (get the SVN client, get an account with Bear, fetch all from SVN and rebuild...).
• Demo D : Success! Bug thank you to those involved (which is, pretty much everybody)
• Hardware : Got feedback from Bryan and David. Waiting for Jed's feedback.

People

• Intern in QA : Anthony. Working on perf testing to start with.
• Need to define interns work load.
