Update on roadmap3.2
- GC applauded %%LibLime%% for their contributions.
- GC thanked hdl for moving us closer to a new_acq branch and encouraged people to check out the koha-biblibre.git tree and not the SOPAC topic branch.
- GC called a soft feature freeze for end of 2009-09-06.
- PP noted other additions on koha-biblibre: over 300 patches.
- GC highlighted the labels rewrite, sysprefs editor and RFID features as wanted in 3.2.
- GC appealed for old bugs to be moved to CLOSED if they are actually fixed.
- GC declared that UTF-8 problems and circulation bugs are blockers or criticals.
- GC will update the roadmap with best guesses by 2009-08-12.
- The choice between 3.4 and 4.0 for the next version was discussed, possibly including a user poll during feature freeze.
- GC deferred 3.1.0 tarball to after the feature freeze.
Update on roadmap3.0
- GC thanked HDL for releasing 3.0.3.
- PP announced 3.0.4 as ready soon, to include all bugfixes and some improvements already deployed by %%LibLime%%.
- HDL has called for user testing of 3.0.4 - CC reported local test success.
- PP expects call for translations quite quickly.
- Release date is unknown but hoped for before mid-September.
Follow-up on actions from last meeting
- GC thanked Nicole Engard for the new list welcome message which is in place.
- MJR reported the wiki relicensing process as running from before next meeting until the early-October meeting.
- guidelines for command-line script argument processing were added to the coding guidelines on the wiki, and as they seem fine and GC hasn't heard any problems with it, they stand
Management of KohaSocialNetworks
- all networks open to all - recognised users and developers as admins.
- wiki page to be updated to list admins (or lack of admins).
- contributions should be majority Koha-related unless the network is labelled as "social".
- off-topic spammers to be booted on sight where possible.
