services, repository and dev platform meeting 11 Oct 2005

agenda

• m6
• PerformanceProject
• import/export testing

notes and next actions

• pje notes that "upgrade" feature is going to be hard. The current stake in the ground is that import/export of .ics files is good enough, and the mechanism we ask people to use when moving to a new release. Katie to follow up with Mitch and ops team to make sure everyone understands the current decision and the consequences.
• import/export is very important to 0.6 -- bugs in import export have a higher cost
  • jeffrey to organize review of import/export test cases
• performance is our most pressing technical challenge for the remainder of 0.6:
  • mini calendar could probably be optimized wrt handling recurring items -- katie to follow up with jeffrey
  • Andi could use a new perf bug/use case to look into -- katie will find one
  • GetLocation might be low hanging fruit -- Andi and Katie will follow up
  • Could be caching recurrence rules
