Miro 3.5.1 status (roadmap)

Miro 4.0 status (roadmap)
- working on audio file metadata retrieval, storage, and ui
- working on device syncing
- working on performance enhancements for startup and displaying tabs
- working on extension framework
- switching testing from eggplant to sikuli
Will:
- worked on documenting infrastructure, processes, and other things
he's involved in
- did a lot of peer-review on incoming changes
- fixed some minor things--added app.debugmode
- could disappear any day now for paternity leave--ping me if there
are things you need me to do now
Ben:
- landed a bunch of performance changes (and fixes)
- working on figuring out all the things that make the iteminfocache
invalid
- sent email about setup_restored(...); working on that
Kaz:
- worked out a different way of doing metadata
- working on ui bits for metadata
Geoffrey:
- worked on ui glitches and other bug fixing
Janet:
- working on converting eggplant tests to sikuli tests
- there are a few bugs that we should make p1 for 3.5.1
- we should start thinking about doing a 3.5.1
Asheesh:
- working on maturing Miro Community as a public FLOSS project
Order of business:
- we updated the appcast file which notifies users that there's a
new version of Miro out there; 3.5 is doing pretty well
- talked about setup_restored(...); Ben has some steps for working
on this going forward
- Ben's going to shepherd the Miro 3.5.1 release which involves making sure
all bugs for 3.5.1 are targeted appropriately and all fixes are
cherrypicked into the Miro-3.5 branch--he's going to coordinate the
3.5.1 release going forward
- for Miro 4.0 on Windows, we're going to switch from VLC to
gstreamer and also from xulrunner to webkit; we talked about who's
going to do this work and when and we're all pretty busy right now,
so it'll likely happen in December or thereabouts
- We decided to push off a Python 2.6 to 2.7 upgrade until a future
release unless we hit a really compelling reason to do otherwise
- Miro is developed by a community of people including you! If you
can't contribute your time and work, please consider contributing
funding by donating.
Your money goes directly to ongoing development of Miro and related
projects.
See http://pculture.org/about/
for more details on these projects.
- Did you know there's a Miro User Manual? If you haven't looked at
it yet, it's worth taking a look at. You can find it
at http://getmiro.com/userguide/.
Bugzilla stats for Miro:
- 38 bugs/feature-requests created
- 7 bugs marked WORKSFORME
- 7 bugs marked INVALID
- 9 bugs marked DUPLICATE
- 19 bugs marked FIXED
- 12 bugs marked INCOMPLETE
As a side note, this is the third week we've been trending downwards
in total open bug count for Miro. We're working on triaging and
cleaning up bug reports. That's been a lot easier with additional
staff--your donations go directly towards these efforts!
