Question du Jour

How should we structure/coordinate work during the 3 weeks period that we're focusing on performance?

• John: thinks he can create performance scripts
• Reid: would be interested in looking how the repo and BerkeleyBD is used
• Jeffrey: look forward in diving into the profiler and work on it

Pre meeting notes:

• John said 2 weeks ago he will "post some ideas he's toying with since a long time" wrt perf improvments. Putting that here as an action item for him.
• I discussed with Robin an idea to improve the perceived perf of dragging items on the calendar canvas. Wanted to mentions that here as well.

FC Status

• Bryan: Pretty much done except for Dump & Reload. Not sure that integration with DV will be done though. Discussion with Brian and Reid. Should have a coordination meeting with Grant, this afternoon if possible.
• Jeffrey: EIMML recurrence 95% done. Pretty positive about getting things done by Thursday.
• John: 3 tasks left. Checked code for Dump & Reload. Concerned about testing going forward. Scripting running on Tinderbox. 3 bugs outstanding to finish the scripting part though.
• Brian: Pretty much done with the from/to field. Starting the byline field. Feeling OK with the Thursday date.
• Reid: Conflict UI done, working on the Update for toolbar. Thursday looks ok.
• Robin: no task scheduled, working on wx integration

EIM Landing

• Need coordinating meeting with Grant, this afternoon if possible (Philippe)

Preview schedule

• Need coordinating with QA for test of Dump & Reload

Status

Brian

• Completed EIMML Mail Service layer. I am still testing edge cases to make sure that all possibilities are covered for expected behavior.
• Integrated Bryan's originators (Chandler From) work in to the mail layer
• Update current unit / functional tests to work with EIMML changes
  
• TODO: Need to figure the final phases of integrating Mail Service EIMML logic with detail view and CommunicationStatus^? (byline)
• TODO: Dump and Reload of Accounts and Mail
• TODO: Unit tests for EIMML work

Bryan

• Finishing new From field (minor changes to the way it defaults, plus Bug#8339)
• starting on byline: visibility tweaks done so far

Jeffrey

• Sent out an email about the new triage features
• Corresponded about sheduling in chandler-users
• CalDAV atop EIM work (still need to do recurrence and reminders)
• Moved EIM translators to use a new recurrenceID:uuid form for recurrence modifications
  

John

• Reviewed and simplfied Mikeal's code to run recorded scripts on tinderbox. We got a first pass of the recorded scripts running on tinderbox. QA is no longer blocked by script recording. There are currently three know bugs in script recording:
  • Bug#8447: recorded scripts don't work for dialogs
  • Bug#8448: Recorded scripts don't properly handle setting focus to sidebar
  • Bug#8449: Recorded scripts don't properly record shifted non-alphabetic characters
  • Bug#8449: Recorded scripts don't properly record shifted non-alphabetic characters
  • I tracked down a bunch of problems with dump and reload. I fixed all but two, which currently have a workaround, but need to be fixed:
  • Newly created items don't have their proper init called. pje is working on a fix
  • Currently there are 3 classes of items that get processed in dump: new user created items, existing items in the repository that have been modified and items that don't need to be dumped. We don't yet have a good way to easily classifiy each of these types of items.
• Checked in the first pass or collection dump and reload with workaround, which is now working.
• Fixed minor bugs: quitting during script recording, quiting in the feedback dialog and an assert that identified a bug in getByline

Philippe

• Alpha5 and the Quest for Feature Complete: bug triage, checked tasks with devs, updated graphs
• Worked on Bug#8380 (alpha in png) Bug#6723 (i18n cleaning) and Bug#4464 (also some i18n cleaning)
• Intern hiring: reviewed resumes, email exchange with some, sent some to Cosmo (Ted), updated HR

Reid

• Finished task Bug#8203 (Conflict dialog for update)
• Working on task Bug#7766 (Send button should turn into Update button when user edits sent/received messages)
• If I get time, may spend more time on conflict dialog to get per-conflict Apply/Discard functionality.
• Wondering if Bug#5535 (Implement Update for items) means that I should be implementing conflict icons in dashboard view?
• Talking with Brian it seems like there is mail-related detail view work that hasn't been scheduled.
• Will be in a meeting with Bryan, Brian and Grant to hash over EIM remaining work.

Robin

• Spent most of the week getting caught up with wxWidgets and wxPython issues, and recovering from my time in the hospital.
• Released wxPython 2.8.3.0

The meeting page got pretty messed up this week. Tried to clean it up best I could.
