July 12, 2007 Agenda and Minutes

A. Updates on last week's action items:

IU's branch for the pop-up description: http://bugs.sakaiproject.org/jira/browse/SAK-10581
Following up on dijit drop-down widget (Harriet)
Status of Resources Viewer (Mike)
Maintenance branch status?
- QA for 2.4.x
Decisions on proposed deadlines from last week:
- Resources tool feature freeze: July 16
  - this will be for settling on the scope of any UI changes we'll consider for 2.5
  - probably no more than the pop-up idea IU is floating, but we'll give ourselves a week to think it over and get additional input
- File-picker feature freeze: Aug 1
  - for settling the scope of any file picker (attachment helper) changes
  - need a little extra time to think through this one, as user expectations are a little murky
- Specification freeze*: Aug 15
  - final designs/specifications for what will be completed for 2.5
  - this will be surfaced to the community as what they can expect to see in the release
- Code freeze: Sept 15
  - changes delivered in a working state (i.e. tested to a first order)
  - this should involve a level of QA before the freeze, to make sure Resources isn't completely broken going into the release cycle
- String freeze: Oct 1
  - we may not need this, but any message bundle work will be finalized by this point
- Branch freeze: Oct 15
  - target for the release as a whole
- Release: Nov 1

B. Review of filepicker situation:

defining implementation scope for 2.5
- which contexts/tools?
- new widget?
- what are the resource commitments?

C. Dropbox improvements?
