Meeting Notes: Nov 30 2006

Gallery 2.2

No set date for RC-1. It's done when the blockers are done.
- (jablko) webdav / httpauth: still a few things to do, see blocker list for details
- think about a codename

Theme contest

We'd like to advertise it a little more.
- some flash banner ads made, got permission to use background images
- Joe7: as valiant wrote in his email, we might need a better landing page to make the 'conversion' rate better. It's unfortunately a complex task..starting with MORE DOCS
- bharat: it would be nice if somebody could go through the theme docs and set up a skeleton of what needs to be there

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G1 docs are way out of date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?
- ckdake still needs to discuss with Tim_j
Team page
- Everybody should add themselves to the page, following h0bbel's lead.

G2 Usability

Gallery Foundation

schultmc talked to SPI, found our Google Ads revenue is not tax exempt (can't go through SPI); to determine if affiliate revenue is tax exempt they need to see the affiliate agreements. schultmc to get that info from MikeK and followup with SPI.

GMC search

slowly updating search indexes again so that we can try again to renable Drupal search (now at 27%)
bharat needs to contact drupal devs
bharat owns this

Translations

Gallery now a project on launchpad: https://launchpad.net/products/gallery but translations(rosetta) not setup yet.. ckdake still working on this.
- ckdake: it should work with our current process alright, we'll just get a dump from rosetta and commit instead of an emailed po from someone

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.

bharat to work on security 1.2
- Done.
ckdake, Joe7, michiel will work on getting banner ads up for the theme contest
- Some progress made
valiant, michiel, Joe7, ckdake will go through katrin's survey and give feedback
- Some feedback given.. enough?
