1. Feature requests for Helsinki Release

• Desired outcome: Discuss and decide on pending feature request that need attention
• See TWikiFeatureProposals

• PreferencesForRawEditOrWysiwygEdit - contributed by PeterJones, put into SVN by Sopan
• SessionManagement - good idea to have easier SSO integration capability out of the box, need more docs
• CsrfFixUsingToken - follow-up fix for first CSRF issue, need review before release

2. Review Urgent Bugs

• Desired outcome: Identify must fixes
• See TWikibug:ReleaseBlocker

• TWikibug:Item6276: cannot specify percentBRpercent for newline value - Sopan looking into
• Kino search (not part of TWiki release) : Sopan working on .docx, .pptx, .xlsx indexing

3. TWiki 4.3.2 Patch Release

• Desired outcome: Decide on release date

• Goal:
  • 2009-08-24 - rc1
  • 2009-08-29 - production release

4. Download Page Redesign

• Desired outcome: Brainstorm on new layout

• MilindPansare proposes to redesign the DownloadTWiki page with these objectives:
  1. We should, as the twiki.org community, have a much better picture of who's downloading and using twiki ?
  2. We should continue to safeguard privacy for those who do not wish to be identified
  3. We should have a relatively frictionless download of the community developed twiki
  4. We need to also balance in when users should use the certified twiki subscription from twiki.net versus the community free version
• Peter's input: From company perspective we'd like to ask community to get some more prominent coverage on the download page, to make it easier for commercially minded people to find twiki.net products. In return, more business for twi.netki means more support for the community, e.g. the company is able to contribute more back and to sponsor consultants to work on new features and bug fixes.
• Task: Create proposal page in Codev web to discuss and decide.

5. Miscellaneous
