Documentation in 0.5 release

The goal should be that if some random person wasn't at PyCon, they could still find enough information to do a minor parcel of the kind done at the PyCon sprint. This requires some additional documentation for the information that was communicated in person at PyCon.

• We won't be adding any more documents inside the product (we won't be doing another build); instead we'll put documents on the Wiki and in the 0.6 tree as appropriate.
• Katie is working on tasks
• Note that all documentation is available from the Wiki even if it is inside the product

Communication in 0.6 release

• We'd like to communicate our designs better in email and on Wiki.
• We think more architecture discussion would have alleviated some of the churning of bugs that got pushed around at the end of 0.5
• Alleviate problems when a critical person is on vacation -- their designs will have gotten communicated a little better, ideally
• is the Wiki decaying?

Spike status

Work now:

• Headless items: in progress (along with some notification work), Andi
• Item Collection design: Ted and Phillip are starting
• Parcel definition via Python instead of XML: in progress (Phillip)

Work later:

• Stamping by composition?
• Other aspects of the five-layer inverted architecture? Needs more work and shared understanding of benefits
