Question du Jour

Have you seen something that would be a good intern project lately?

• Reid : lots of sample parcels, showing different aspects of Chandler
• Bryan : docs, especially if they go through the parcel writing process
• Jed : more code sample is good
• Philippe : see my list

0.7

Bugs and Tasks

See the current curves. I didn't have time to edit the curve, will do later today.

• tasks : time to enter them in Bugzilla for Phase 1
• bugs : please SWAG them so we can pick and choose what we can do for 0.7alpha1. You can assign them to the various alpha if you already have a strong opinion on the order they should be worked on.
• Phases : some comments going on on the design list right now to clarify some of the features listed. Please participate, especially if you're the owner of one of those components.

Component ownership

See the current list. Some discussion with Heikki on the exact llist. Should converge this week.

Misc

Geek Talk

I modified the page to take Katie's comments into account. Comments :

• Reid : we could record the VNC session. See vnc2swf
• We should also record the sound and edit a podcast. Philippe to check with Reid on all of this.

wxTNG

Lots of ideas floating around. See wxWidgets3.

People

Reviews

Starting now. We all received Lori's email.

Interns

See plan. Starting interviewing this week.
