Grant

  • Helped LisaDusseault hash out some directory syncing ideas.
  • Ongoing discussions on chandler-dev@ about redirectTo and Reminders without Chandler running.

  • Ongoing work on stamping-as-annotations.
  • Further domain model discussions.

PJE

  • displayName eliminated from schema API (per Bug 1745 and Bug 6237)
  • restored Python 2.5's compliance with PEP 302 while keeping the startup performance gains that introduced the compliance breakage
  • Improved error handling for pkgutil.walk_packages() in Python 2.5

  • Bug 6386 (review for possible change of how schema.Many works)

Morgen

• Progress
  • Continued sharing discussion on list, resolved to scale back first phase of development and just focus on new format; later pursue a Cosmo soup model perhaps
  • Optional sharing of Triage Status, plus changing filters on established shares
• Plan
  • Add a "save accounts and subscriptions" feature, so people can easily restore their settings after a --create
  • Continue sharing format work
