Meeting Notes: Nov 16 2006

Project Tasks

Gallery 2.2

• No set date for RC-1. It's done when the blockers are done.

    • security 1.4 is done
    • all tests are green on all dbs
• (jablko) webdav / httpauth: still a few things to do, see blocker list for details
  • webdav still has many blockers
  • jablko has a patch for 4 outstanding issues
• (birdman) fixed important bugs / tests for DB2. we're getting very close to a 100% green state for DB2
  • Only things left are the 2 multibyte tests whose VARCHAR fieldss are too small. Known problem.
  • birdman working on REORG/RUNSTATS upgrade

Theme contest

• We'd like to advertise it a little more.
  • volksport is too busy.
  • Joe7 is interested but also too busy
  • ckdake will drive it. He may not do the work, but he'll make sure it doesn't get left behind.
  • michiel can run banner ads
  • thumb has made a banner ad

Docs

• ckdake has not received emails back from college proposal
  • will try again in December
• G1 docs are way out of date
  • should we stop shipping with G1 docs and replace them with a link to the codex?
  • Need input from Tim_j
• Team page
  • Everybody should add themselves to the page, following h0bbel's lead.

G2 Usability

• katrin has put up a survey here: http://codex.galleryproject.org/index.php/Gallery2:Usability_Issues:user-survey:announcements
• all should go through it and give feedback

Gallery Foundation

• we need to contact SPI treasurer about tax exemption for gallery's non-donation income
  • schultmc will contact them on bharat's behalf

GMC search

• slowly updating search indexes again so that we can try again to renable Drupal search
• bharat needs to contact drupal devs
• bharat owns this

Translations

• no updates

Gallery 1

• 1.5.5-pl1 released
• 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.
