0.4 Non-Code Action Items Meeting

27 September 2004

Chao, Sheila, Pieter, and Ducky met to discuss the list.

There were two distinct things we knew we needed to discuss:

• What process should we use?
• What documents should be on the punch list?

Pieter also brought up

• What marketing should we do for this release?

Process

We decided to use the same process that we used for 0.1 and 0.2: Ducky to manage a punch list on the wiki (ZeroPointFourNonCodeReleaseActionItems) and a list of Bugzilla tasks.

We also decided we should have a meeting once a week -- Tuesdays at 3. (Bug council is Tuesdays and Thursdays at 4.)

Pieter concerned about docs needing fixes too late. Sheila to talk to bug council about getting an exception for non-code text.

Content

We had detailed, document-by-document discussions of all the docs that need to be written; see ZeroPointFourNonCodeReleaseActionItems for what we decided for most documents.

For the developer documents, we need to talk to Katie about what docs will be delivered when.

Sheila to see about getting version/build number in under the deadline

Pieter to ask CSG people re WebDAV account help.

Ducky to remind Mimi that we need new GIF, maybe new background color or something to show that it isn't 0.3

Discussion about out of the box having a note item that points to "how to get started". Sheila to bring that up at the bug council.

Marcomm

We ran out of time before we could discuss what our marketing strategy should be for 0.4.

Action items for next meeting

• Ducky to update 0.4 non-code action item page
• Ducky to write up meeting minutes
• Ducky to remind Mimi that we need a new splash screen

• Pieter to ask CSG people re WebDAV account help.
• Someone unspecified to talk to Katie about what docs will be delivered when

Agenda for next meeting:
