• schema migration
• demos

Status

Katie

• Progress
  • Met with Mimi and Sheila about virtuality, we have an outline for a short paper/presentation
  • A couple of interviews for scooby project
• Plans
  • start looking at addressing
  • write up proposal for tool for creating sample data (intern will implement)
  • set performance targets for sharing/import/export cases (pending some benchmark data about other apps)
  • get owner for analysis of slow use cases
  • review recurrence spec
  • i18n task list and owners
  • write up plan/proposal for release stability/demoability
• Noted
  • Chao and Ted will check in example parcels (Bug#3279, Bug#3280)
  • Anthony and Aparna have initial times for 0.6 use cases. We already know that import is slow, and we know the fix involves item collections. The next step is to do some analysis on other slow cases. After some analysis, it would be good to identify some automated tests that capture the problem areas (at least until cpia script is working):
    • switching views
    • stamping
    • creating a new event

Andi

• Progress
  • Continued PyICU additions: more string/unicode support
  • design work with Ted and John on repository support for sets (needed for item collections and notifications), started set implementation
  • enhanced encryption support to not require -S flag to reopen repository
  • repository bug fixes to support pje and morgen
• Plans
  • set implementation

Ted

• Progress
  • flickr parcel is updated and ported to the new schema api. Waiting for FAXed CLA from PyCon contributor before checking in
  • discussions with John and Andi on sets in the respository
  • prototype Set wrappers to make repository sets look like what's in the ItemCollection spec
  • OSCON logistics
  • interview for scooby
• Plans
  • set wrappers
  • notification
  • OSCON presentation based on flickr
  • Gnomedex on Friday

PJE

• Progress
  • Lots of work on cloud/endpoint support in schema API
  • Support Ted and Morgen doing ports
  • Add "forward references" support to schema API for easier porting
  • Huge progress on porting osaf.framework.blocks (120+ attributes, ~30 kinds)
  • Implement "Struct" support (for porting blocks.DocumentTypes module)
  • Code generator for Attributes
  • Additional schema_status checking
• Plans
  • Big checkins over the next few days
  • Code generator for Clouds, maybe other things
  • Even more schema_status checks
  • About 40 kinds need clouds ported, 34 need attributes, and 40+ need checking for optional metadata and removal from parcel.xml. Should probably be doable within a week, since attribute generator is already done.

Jeffrey

• Progress
  • Finished updating the recurrence spec
  • Created a reminder spec
  • Bought and read TDD by example as recommended by PJE. It will hopefully push me to be more diligent about test writing as recurrence is implemented
  • Discussed timezones on IRC
• Plans
  • Implement the facets of recurrence in the Content Model that don't have dependence on queries
  • Write code to compare VTIMEZONEs to PyICU timezones
  • Write Python tzinfo -> VTIMEZONE serialization code
  • Update the iCalendar spec
  • Update vobject and Chandler to work with the latest version of dateutil
  • Meet with Alec Tuesday to fill him in on recurrence
  • Check back in with Eric Howland, who I've been trying to get started hacking Chandler

Morgen

• Progress
  • Sharing: Worked on using repository view merging to handle local/remote changes; ran into a couple snags that prevent me from checking in:
    • Non-Chandler attributes disappear when refreshing backwards in time Query's _fillItem was blowing the attributes away; workaround in progress
    • Merging of ref collections with sorted indexes is not yet supported
  • Moved my Inbound parcel to the sandbox
  • Added a Doomsday Button to the "schema mismatch" dialog -- clicking Yes will blow away your repository
  • Wordpress: tweaks to templates, got the "time since" plugin to work, authors list now sorted by last name
• Plan
  • Sharing UI work
  • Catch up on Sharing bugs
  • Look for workarounds for the two Sharing blockers above
  • Look into using repository native xml

Grant

• Progress
  • Admin for zanshin: Created project page, worked on spec, created license.
  • Review/discussions of the timezone spec.
  • Discussion of 0.6 share merging (with Morgen, Andi & Katie).
  • zanshin: Ready to commit test webdav server.
• Plan
  • Finish 0.6 zanshin spec & commit & post for discussion.
  • Investigate integration of Chandler WebDAV code with Heikki's SSL cert handling code.
  • Rewrite webdav unit tests in zanshin to use test server.

Lisa

• Progress
  • Proposal for wiki content reorg completed
  • IMAP ACL Internet-Draft was reviewed by the IESG
  • Reviewed timezone and recurrence specs
  • Prepared OSCon panel presenters and plan with Pieter
