Discussion

Developer dogfood

Most of today's discussion centered on "developer dogfood" and what we thought developers would need to write server-side parcels. The list included:

• updated repository docs
• updated query docs
• sample code (possibly using Morgen's servlets, possibly writing a smaller simpler parcel)
• tutorial associated with sample code
• a very small number of code changes to make it easier to run Chandler "headless"

Gmane

Ducky looked into gmane's challenge policy, and it appears that there's only a (one-time) challenge to users if they are posting via the gmane interface. Ducky to talk to Jürgen and probably arrange for gmane to carry the Chandler mailing lists.

Copyright notice

Mitchell has spoken with a lawyer about the copyright stuff, but isn't done yet.
