<p>
  First off, I'm back from "paternity leave" as of Monday.  I'm
  back to taking notes of the dev calls and posting the summaries.
</p>
<p>
  I'm game for changing the way these summaries work.  If you have
  thoughts or criticisms along those lines, let me know either by email
  or by comments.

</ul>

</ul>

<p>Paul:</p>

</ul>

  Apple appstore
</ul>

<p>Janet:</p>

<li>worked on bug triage
</ul>

<p>Ben:</p>
<ul>
<li>worked on fast searching; looking at whoosh, but there are some
  complications
</ul>

<p>Official business:</p>
<ul>
<li>talked about the state of unit testing and documentation for Miro
<li>talked about how Miro will do device support; how users can add
  support for additional devices; supporting generic devices; supporting
  other USB mass storage devices (thumbdrives ftw!)
<li>we spent a bunch of time over the last week having a <b>massive
    bug triaging party</b>!  We resolved around 200 bugs and now have
    around 700 open bugs.  There were a lot of stale/obsolete bugs
    that were closed, bugs that we needed input on but never got it
    that were marked as INCOMPLETE, bugs that got fixed, bugs that got
    put in the 4.0 target, and some enhancements we looked at and
    said, "That's just not the direction we're stewarding Miro" and
    marked as WONTFIX.  I think this is the sort of thing we should do
    either after every new release or at the end of the year.
<li>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.
<li><a href="http://www.pculture.org/pcf/jobs/">PCF is looking to hire
  another Miro developer and a System Administrator</a>.  See the jobs
  page for more details.

<li>Miro is developed by a community of people including you!  If you
  can't contribute your time and work, please consider contributing
  funding by <a href="https://www.miroguide.com/donate">donating</a>.
  Your money goes directly to ongoing development of Miro and related
  projects.
  See <a href="http://pculture.org/about/">http://pculture.org/about/</a>
  for more details on these projects.

<li>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 <a href="http://getmiro.com/userguide/">http://getmiro.com/userguide/</a>.
</ul>

<p><b>Bugzilla stats for Miro for the last 4 weeks:</b></p>

  the usual 1 week of data.
