ambiguous. Sorry about that.
Miro 4.0 status (roadmap)
- lots of flux in git-master, but the code is starting to stabilize
- working on metadata support, device syncing, performance enhancements,
extensions, streaming to other devices (ipad, ...), ...
- working on project infrastructure: wiki, nightlies, nightly runs of
unit tests, ...
Nick:
- Morgan's family had the flu last week which is why ui overhaul related
questions are taking a while to get answered.
Ben:
- Worked on sorting and playlists.
- Planning to work on new InfoList issues.
Janet:
- Lost internet connection for most of the week.
- Worked on sikuli tests--most of them are done now.
- Implementing tests in sikuli has uncovered lots of issues.
Geoffrey:
- Continuing to work on sharing and other things on his plate.
Kaz:
- Worked on views and metadata stuff.
Paul:
- Worked on device syncing.
- Worked on ui overhaul bugs. Updated the sidebar.
Jonas:
- Worked on shuffle/repeat and playback.
Asheesh:
- Working hard on Miro Community 1.2--hopefully will have a beta out
this week.
Will:
- Windows build box keeps hanging. Seems like it's predominantly
related to when the cron job to build the nightly kicks off, but
it's hung at other times, too. Hopefully we can get through this
dev cycle before we have to replace the Windows build box because
that'll take a chunk of time to do.
- Investigating libtorrent issues of which there are several and
they're complicated.
- Looking at storing fast resume as a downloader-specific thing and
storing it in files rather than the Miro sqlite database.
Order of business:
- Welcome Jonas! This is the largest group of Miro developers we've
ever had (6). Hopefully we can keep this group going forward, but
it depends on funding.
- Talked about how to fix the handling of the fastresume data for
torrents. Will is going to change the downloader so that it's not
passing this data to the Miro process and instead is managing it
itself in files.
- Talked about magnet uri support. Will thinks this is a big
project and is hesitant to do it because of its bigness. So we
assigned it to Jonas because he's new and isn't scared of anything,
yet.
- git master is in pretty heavy flux right now and because of that
nightlies are pretty unstable--use them at your own risk. This will
sort itself over time when there are fewer massive changes being
made.
- PCF is looking to hire
a System Administrator. See the jobs page for more details.
- 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://manual.getmiro.com/.
