Agenda

• Follow-up on Mimi's tasks, priorities
• Follow-up from Preview discussion
• Product naming - put together proposal
• Planning wiki area
• Review Edit/Update with Aparna?

Notes

• Mimi is feeling better about tasks priorities.
• Priscilla - still catching up on planning stuff for Preview.
• Preview meeting
  • Priscilla still worried about date and expectations.
  • If everyone had a better high-level sense of status we might mitigate some of these worries.
  • Mimi - good time for PPD or ops to put a date on where we are at of where we are on features and bugs.
  • What features have we done, not done. What is tested, what is not tested.
  • Line for what is good enough for Preview is not clear.
  • Focus on where we are and then the end line is clearer.
  • Features we are still working on.... * Cosmo
    • • Supporting new sharing EIM format - big and risky.
      • Handful of calendar features - not as big and scary.
        • Timezone work
        • Unknown ???
      • Dashboard - some table work (could be punted)
    • Chandler
      • Edit/update - risks around testing.
      • Backup and restore.
      • Conflict management UI.
      • Sharing EIM format.
      • Performance.
  • There is really nothing we can cut with the exception of maybe Edit/Update but it may be more work to take it out.
  • Proposal: High-level overview of where we are with EIM stuff. Who has work left, what are the dependencies. Where we are in getting feature freeze deadline.
  • Proposal: Overview of where we are in getting to feature freeze in general
  • Issue: Clarify the bar for Preview - what does this mean. What is good enough?
    • Want people to try it out - using it the way we are dogfooding internally.
    • Day to day usage - all the time vs periodically.
    • Problems that are obvious - basic things I can't do something (bugs).
    • Things we need to fix because they are confusing to the user - date column, communication status.
    • Functionality that makes people's life easier - we can cut this stuff (nice to have).
    • Performance.
  • Clarify the finish line - it's not really moving. We just aren't very good at estimating the date.

• Planning wiki area - product section needs a bit of work. Priscilla will work on Cosmo stuff.

• Naming - send last call to the list
  • Chandler Project - Suite
  • Chandler Desktop
    • Chandler Desktop as a platform
  • Chandler Server Bundle - SNARF thing - rename it later
  • Chandler Hub - hosted service
