Action Item Review

• Sven to build first beta
• Antonio to engage translators
• Kenneth to finish release notes
• Rod to arrange marketing meeting
• + bug fixing

1. Review Urgent Bugs

• Desired outcome: Find owners to fix urgent bugs

• From previous release meeting:
  • Bugs:Item4048 - Rafael takes a stab at it
  • Bugs:Item4510 - Arthur will take a look
  • Bugs:Item4509 - Koen will fix
  • Bugs:Item4081 - Kenneth will write the doc
  • Bugs:Item3652 - Koen likes umlauts
  • Most of rest urgent are related to either I18N and waiting for Richard or Wysiwyg/TMCE and Crawford is on top of those

2. Coordinate TWiki Release 4.2

• Desired outcome: Decide on tentative dates for string freeze and other dates; identify and assign action items

• Beta release:
  • Kenneth suggests a beta this weekend.
    • Because of bugs that were not addressed - we did not release beta this weekend.
  • SvenDowideit is looking to build a release package this week - either Alpha or Beta, depending on decision on the above.
    • We call it beta. Noone installs an alpha.
• String freeze date: now
• Code freeze date: will branch off TWikiRelease04x02 on SVN for first beta
• Earliest release date: Depends now mostly on TMCE!
• Must do before any release: Update release note (Kenneth will do), review one more time Bugs:TWiki.TWikiInstallation and Bugs:TWiki.TWikiUpgradeGuide. If people raise bugs Kenneth will fix.

Action Items

Current beta release blockers

• Bugs:Item4535, and
• Bugs:Item4534 - both are TMCE related where links point to the edit script.
• Bugs:Item4048 because we do not want a CVE note of being ignoring security issues
• Bugs:Item4523 - need to discuss solution
• Bugs:Item4537 - Kenneth fixes quickly. Few minutes work.
• Bugs:Item4536 - beta testers will want that Edit Raw button.
• Release note - Kenneth is already more than half way. One more day!
