1. Review Urgent Bugs

• Desired outcome: Find owners to fix urgent bugs
• See Bugs:ReleaseBlocker

• Bugs:Item5141 was a merge error on MAIN
• Bugs:Item5126 is an old bug from probably back to Athens. Could be risky to fix. Lower to normal and defer to a patch release 4.2.1
• Bugs:Item5138 was confirmed to be a release blocker issue (major damage to topics beyond the single character added)
• Bugs:Item4748 Peter checks in fix and kenneth will run unit tests

Additionally Peter proposed the Wiki Edit button added. Will be done only if safe and only on upper right Edit button

And Peter proposed that if possible the non standard API pod docs should not be in distribution as they invite to use non-standard API in plugins.

2. Coordinate TWiki Release 4.2

• Desired outcome: Decide on tentative dates for rc1 and production release; identify and assign action items

• Code freeze: 2007-09-20 for TWikiRelease04x02 branch on SVN
• Beta 1 release: 2007-09-20
• Beta 2 release: 2007-10-01
• Beta 3 release: 2007-11-01
• String freeze date: 2007-11-26 (at RC1)
• RC 1 release: 2007-11-26
• RC 2 release: 2007-12-10
• RC 3 release: xmas release
• Production release: 09 Jan 2008. This date is now expect to be held.
