Gallery 1

No updates this week
h0bbel / ckdake get nervous on new G1 releases due to insufficient testing
If releasing a new version of G1 requires us to put more resources in the G1 section of the forums, then this is a bad thing for the project.
Quality control has been lacking in recent releases
We agree that G1.5.x releases need more testing and that G1.6 should be blocked until it has received sufficient testing
A G1.5 testing plan shouldn't be that hard: A matrix of major features + changes from the changelog vs. browser/server env. Exhaustive tesring is not necessary, just major features + changes since the last release.
G1.6 testing needs much more work. More environments and a more detailed feature list should span the matrix.

Other

horde contacted us about possible joint maintenance of exifixer, since it is no longer maintained. valiant to talk to horde devs to put exifixer into an external repository (e.g. pear) (and 1 or more g2 and 1 or more horde devs will be project owners or something like that)
