1. TWiki-5.1 Release Post Mortem

• Desired outcome: Identify items that can be improved

• Build script: Make build aware of plugin build failure
  • Currently ignored, and plugin is missing in package
  • Example: The BackupRestorePlugin had a file missing that was referened in the MANIFEST

• Build script: Need proper error message if release tag has no .txt,v files to build topic history
  • Currently, build creates the package but all topics are missing the history

• Build script: Can't detect if topic changed but timestamp in topic meta data did not change
  • Result: Old topic is in package instead of updated new one
  • Recommended: Developers always use fixtopicmeta script before checkin

2. Release Focus of Jerusalem Release

• Desired outcome: Discuss and decide on release focus
• See JerusalemReleaseFocus

• In brainstorming section, the following items are considered important:
  • Micro-blogging / activity streams: User generated and apps generated
  • Packaging standard for TWiki apps

3. Miscellaneous

• Press release went out today
• Some tweets show up
