1. Feature Requests for Jerusalem Release

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

• StatsExcludedWebRegex - by Hideyo-san
  • Proposal looks good, Hideyo-san to describe the reasons for needing this
  • No decision made, wait for 7 day feedback period

• CommentSectionInNewTopicTemplate - by PTh
  • Now in SVN trunk

2. Review Urgent and Not So Urgent Bugs

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

• None

3. Extensions

• Desired outcome: Get everyone in sync, coordinate enhancements
• See Plugins web

• RedirectPlugin: Hideyo-san fixed an issue

• DoxygenImportPlugin: PTh did some small fixes and enhancements

• PublishWebPlugin: PTh did some changes to make it work nicely with the DoxygenImportPlugin

• TinyMCEPlugin: The WYSIWYG editor does not work properly in some versions of IE - an update to the latest TinyMCE editor is likely to fix this.

4. Upcoming Production Release

• Let's target next production release soon:
  • We have 53 new features ready in Jerusalem release
  • SVN trunk is very stable
  • It would be nice to have TWikiAppInstaller ready for this release, but it should not block the release

• Call this TWiki-5.2 or TWiki-6.0?
  • TWiki-6.0 is warranted:
    • Scales to large TWiki deployments
    • New dashboards look sexy
    • Many new features that strengthen TWiki as an app platform, such as VarEDITFORMFIELD

• Relase timing:
  • PTh to build rc1 on weekend of Sep 1st
  • GA 2 weeks after that if all goes well

4. Miscellaneous

• None
