2. Review Urgent and Not So Urgent Bugs

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

• TWikibug:Item7338 - Import WYSIWYG plugin fixes 2008-2013
  • PTh finished work, some more testing needed

• TWikibug:Item7339 - Tiny MCE plugin fixes 2010-2013
  • PTh's work in progress, already running on local checkout
  • Was a harder nut to crack due to API incompatibilities of the fork and jquery upgrade
  • For now tinymce is upgraded from 3.2.4 to 3.4.9
  • Plan to upgrade to latest 3.5.8 if time permits before TWiki-6.0 release
  • There is also a 4.0.5 but the tinymce plugins API changed at 4.0 so this is not viable before the release

• TWikibug:Item7336 - {Stats}{SiteTopContrib}
  • Hideyo-san added small nobrainer feature

• TWikibug:Item7278 - %IF interprets "0" as "undef" instead of a number and can't recognize single character variable name
  • Yaojun fixed both issues

• TWikibug:Item7330 - Empty DENY Setting Means Undefined Setting
  • Hideyo-san implemented a tool to convert empty DENYTOPICX to ALLOWTPICX = AllUsersGroup

• TWikibug:Item7328 - ScrollBoxAddOn not working on IE9
  • Hideyo-san looks if internal resources can debug and fix this

3. Extensions

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

• LdapContrib - updated by Terje
  • Enhancements are useful for large TWiki deployments

4. TWiki-6.0 Release Planning

• Desired outcome: Confirm dates & action items

• Release timing:
  • RC1 release was postponed due to WYSIWYG editor update
  • TinyMCEPlugin likely updated in a day or two
  • RC1 likely this weekend
• SVN trunk is in code freeze after RC1
  • No new features, only bug fixes after that
  • As an exception, a small & safe feature change may be OK
• Localization work:
  • PTh to ask translators to update the locale/*.po files

5. Miscellaneous

• none
