0.6

We'll have an 0.6 debrief Monday afternoon. Katie and Sheila to call for the meeting and organize.

Download update : 700 so far, 200 downloads a week. As a point of comparison, Chandler 0.4 totaled 12,000 downloads.

We've seen some new comers to the lists and people contacted some of us individually on projects. Very exciting!

Bug candidates for 0.6.1? Let's be conservative and limit this to the strict necessary bug fixes. We need to push people toward downloading our milestones rather thatn waiting months for updates anyway (that also means that our milestones need to be of high quality).

Specs and 0.7

Not much update on this last week of course.

Priscilla Chung will begin on Monday, January 9. Will be doing design for the Scooby client and Chandler website.

Sheila and Mimi to held a design meeting every Thursday at 1pm.

Bryan demoed cc and bcc fields in DV as well as autocompletion for location and date time fields. Very cool!

• Pycon : Let me know ASAP if you want to go this year. We need to register before January 15th. Pycon will be in Dallas from February 24 to 26. More info on Pycon 2006.
