Specs

Sheila at the CSG Meeting last week. Went well. Great feedback, good demos.

Schedule

m6

Individual status :

• Jed : no status, Jed sick today
• John : Mine / not Mine all done (thanks Morgen!). Will start on the 0.6 bugs when done with m6
• Jeffrey : lots of bug fix last week, more work on tasks this week
• Alec : couple of tasks left, feeling good for m6
• Bryan : monitors on DV notification, started a doc on AE
• David : toolbar icons fixed on Windows, dealt with the latest wx changes
• Donn : worked on DnD, cursor feedback. Only 5 bugs left, toolbar functionalities available from the menus

0.6

Check out the Bug Count graph on the Apps page : the bug count is coming down which is a very healthy sign.

We did a great dent in the overall number of tasks and bugs last week. Lots of things are coming into place.

Philippe started to dogfood Chandler Friday. Using it exclusively now (no more iCal!).

Engineering

• wx news (David) : looks like focus issues will be worked on by some wx community members, good since we do have some bugs attached to this.
• Perf assignement : Heikki would like to have 2 modes when running those scripts.
• Recurrence code review Monday (Jeffrey): mostly about optimization, code clarity, no architecture changes.
• Doc : Please contribute Tutorial ideas for CPIA.
• Epydoc : read Bear's doc and try to follow the guidelines. No enforcement though and no requirement to modify existing code to follow them. Would be nice to separate private from public API, something that Python does not really do. Is there a flag for that? How can we document attributes?

People

Hiring: we have one opening in the Apps team! Just starting though (job description being reviewed). Feel free to talk about it. Great leads are always welcome!

Also 1 QA opening in Aparna's group. Same comment on recommendations and leads.

• Fix Set vs. List confusion in ColorCollection and add RenameEvent
• Fix bug #3440: Enable the Rename item in the Collection menu
• Fix Bug #3467: Add Mine/Not Mine menu item under the Collection menu. Morgen did all the heavy lifting on this bug. I only tweeked his menu.

• collection renamable now has a default value
• Fix Bug #4078: collectionList not getting set for imported collections
• Init logging before i18n since i18n uses logging
• Change gray text on Mac from 80% to 50% so it's readable.
