Miro 4.0 status (roadmap)
- 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, ...
Kaz:
- continued working on metadata-related work
- working on a view menu for showing/hiding columns
Ben:
- rewrote search code
- continuing to work on ui performance enhancements
Geoffrey:
- worked on pydaap
- worked on bonjour support--running into license issues
Paul:
Will:
- fixed a bunch of bugs
- got extensions mostly done
- planning to work on conversions-related bugs and looking into
ditching flashscraper
Order of business:
- Windows bonjour library: Licensed under the Apache license. Looks
like we can't compile it without a full version of Visual Studio.
Need to figure out what to do here.
- database issues: there might be reentrant-related issues. Ben is
going to check to make sure all database changes happen in the
backend thread. Geoffrey is going to write up a bug about reentrant
issues he's seeing in regards to signal handling. Ben and Geoffrey
will continue researching this and we'll talk about it more next
week.
- performance issues with Gtk TreeView: Ben and Kaz are going to
look into this over the next week.
- extensions: Nick says he doesn't want any user-facing parts this
time around, so I may just leave that portion as is. I sent out an
email with where I'm at to the develop list. Is what I have ok so
far? Are there any additional uses for extensions that we want to
think about going forward? Is it ready to land?
- How much work do we think we have left for 4.0? People should
write up bugs for all the things they're planning on doing for the
4.0 cycle so we have a good idea of where we're at.
- 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
another Miro developer and a System Administrator. See the jobs
page for more details.

- 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/.
