dev platform meeting 7 June 2005

Agenda

• maintaining examples and sprint parcels: zaobao, flickr, amazon

Summary

• Progress
  • Schema API is ready to test out (right now just missing clouds). Ted and Katie experimented with migrating parcels.
  • 0.5.03 Milestone (datetime fixes)
  • Test framework related work (improvements to support using run_tests in place of hardhat)
  • Architecture/spec work (item collections, i18n, recurrence)
• Plan
  • i18n, recurrence, item collection spec updates
  • Schema API final review, more migration, finish cloud support
  • Test framework improvements (goal is to be able to use run_tests)

Notes

• decisions about examples, sprint parcels, etc:
  • zaobao, flickr, and amazon will be considered osaf 'examples' (pending agreement from original contributors)
  • morgen's server parcel (and others like it that might emerge) are considered 'contrib' parcels
  • example parcels will be considered a regular part of the osaf build: tinderbox tests must pass, etc.
  • ted will maintain flickr parcel, and will get ok from contributors to put it in our repository
  • chao will maintain amazon parcel
  • morgen will maintain zaobao
  • when we flatten the package/parcel hierarchy (in 0.6), we will make sure 'examples' are not buried deep in the hierarchy
  • remaining question: how do we handle contrib in svn? outside of 'parcels'? what are the expectations for stability?
• pje gave an update on the state of python eggs; it looks like integrating parcels & eggs is a good 0.7 project. pje needs to do some legwork (conversations with osaf folks) about how it might work.

Status

Katie

• Progress
  • spent some quality time with the recurrence spec/proposal
  • migrated most of calendar content model parcel to the schema api (patch here: Bug#3215)
  • got setup w/subversion
  • meeting weekly w/aparna and sheila to make sure perf related work gets tracked/finished
    • sheila will get 0.6 use cases on wiki
    • aparna and anthony now have a 1000 item calendar they will use to run tests
• Plan
  • hope to flush out the recurrence spec with Jeffery, Bryan and others this week
  • i18n plan (brian k is working on the spec this week)

Morgen

• Progress
  • Improvements on websvn.o11n.org (being able to view rendered HTML)
  • ZaoBao^? fixes for datetime switch
  • Fixed a couple places where Sharing.py and Zanshin weren't seeing eye-to-eye (causing a sharing regression -- import of remote .ics files)
  • Other sharing fixes
  • Modified WordPress^? (blog) templates to use PermaLinks^? for Pieter
• Plan
  • Finish UI work for filtered sharing
  • Add tech spec to sharing spec
  • Migrate some parcels to new API

PJE

• Progress
  • Implemented schema.kindInfo(), schema.Enumeration, lots of testing-related stuff
  • Worked w/Ted to flesh out ItemCollection^? notifications design
  • Assisted Ted and Katie w/porting parcels (or portions thereof) to schema API
  • Implemented schema.Cloud, schema.Endpoint, and schema.addClouds() (not checked in)
  • Trying to debug an apparent repository import problem; clouds and endpoints defined by the schema API show up in the repository, but not linked to their owners, and trying to fix up the links post-import leads to even weirder behavior. May have to get help from Andi on this.
• Plan
  • Continue assisting with porting non-cloud/endpoint parts of parcels
  • Fall back to test-related work or other projects (ItemCollection^?, Eggs, i18N stuff, etc.) if I have to wait for Andi to get back

Ted

• Progress
  • Gathering feedback on ItemCollection spec - revising to include
  • Discussed ItemCollection notification w/ PJE
  • Ported Notes parcel to schema API
  • Started porting del.icio.us parcel to schema API
  • RepositoryTestCase changes to make unit tests quieter
  • Attended the Trash/Delete spec review

• Plan
  • Revise ItemCollection spec and try to come up with an implementation plan by the end of this week.
  • Continue working on ports
