This is the meeting minutes and agenda for the Meeting on 2007-11-14.

Date and Time: November 14th 21:00 UTC?

Agenda:

  • Next meeting date (Wes)
    December 11th
  • status reports
    • 5.3.2 (TrogL)
      [Not present]
    • user support load
      • wiki answer categories and mail documentation system (Wes)
        • general consensus: good, but may be harder when it gets larger
        • needed: good answer and tutorial mixing
        • (13:05:37) hardaker: the difference between a good answer, a faq answer and a tutorial answer is only how you get there. The user needs the information and currently has 3 places to look for it (which is bad). A good category hierarchy should let them get there without knowing which section it's in.
        • dts12 will put something in place

<tasks> [2] Extend categorisation to Tutorials/FAQ (dts12) </tasks>

    • makerelease (Wes)
      Active as an S/F project, and in use on other packages
      Adopt for the next release (post 5.3.2)
    • lmsensors rewrite (dave)
      Done - awaiting reactions
    • coverity (Wes)
      No progress
  • Coding issues
    • instance handler API (Magnus)
      See thread "Removing functions" in coders (22/23 Oct)
      Keep existing registration calls
      Mark internal handlers as deprecated for 5.5 - consider dropping them for 5.6
    • multiple 5.4.1 container-related crash reports: roadmap to solution?
      No report

<tasks> [1] Need to tackle this properly (rstory) </tasks>

  • next release? (rstory)
    • 5.2.5?
      • Pause after 5.3.2 is out, to allow the application of outstanding bug fixes.
        Then look to release 5.2.5 over Christmas/New Year.
        Ideally in parallel with a blitz on the bug tracker, ready for addressing 5.4.2 in early 2008
