== Meeting Log == | |||
Attendees: (didn't get a full list, feel free to edit if I missed you): | |||
* Daniel, Gary, Gunter, Martin, Mickey, Simon | |||
=== How can we improve the learning curve === | |||
* Gunter has some ideas on how to make this easier | |||
* More information on the newsgroup | |||
* Besides end user documentation, also improve the developer side of the documentation, | |||
and he could try to build sunbird from scratch on a mac, and document this for our website. | |||
** Gary can probably get to this in the next few weeks. | |||
** Windows might be easier, now that you no longer. | |||
** Someone mentioned someone's name who is very familiar with the universal binary build and can help us with building a universal lihgtning build | |||
=== AMO Redesign === | |||
* Clint will ask Basil about the AMO redesign -- community projects? | |||
* The blog also has comments in the same direction | |||
* If they don't change this away from Firefox then we need to figure out a new solution for our own "AMO". | |||
* We dont' want to see MOCO only be firefox only - and the MOCO folks should realize that they cannot only focus on Firefox | |||
* This will only hurt MOCO if they make AMO firefox specific, but we should be careful with reading too much into this. Simon mentions a German saying: "Don't attribute to malevolence what you can attribute to pure stupidity". | |||
=== Timezones === | |||
* Timezones - how to do updates | |||
** If everything is a composite XPI (perhaps bundling togeher GDATA, WCAP, and the new timezone XPI | |||
** How would you do an update with all these things? | |||
** How would you manage the release of all of these components? | |||
** Packaging a composite XPI could only be done on Lightnng release and it does mean that we would not be able to make a release of a component without a release of the entire product. | |||
** How can we manage this release process? | |||
** It was discussed a few weeks ago, and we came to the decision that there has to be a set of criteria about what to ship by default | |||
*** Need enough outside demand to warrant it | |||
*** Need someone to take care of maintenance of the provider code (and the code is in Mozilla CVS) | |||
*** Might investigate FoxClocks that does time zone changes without much change in their version number, and they can change their database without their XPI version number changing. | |||
* Timezones - dniel working on the full timezone reference and service | |||
* Clint will work on copleteing the timezone database | |||
* Timezone service will contain the olson set | |||
* The ICS file wil have an outdated timezone information it is ok to take those because they are corect? | |||
** Treat foeign tiemzones as foreign and use that. | |||
** For the timezone service we should probably only use the olson names (internally) | |||
** Timezone information that comes with the data like in an ICS or ical stream or with an invitation, that | |||
timezone information must be persisted, even if it conflicts with an olson definition. | |||
** That is the way that he is coding the new timezone service. | |||
=== Timezone Guessing Patch === | |||
* We have better timezone guessing on the way! Clint is very impressed with Gekachecka's patch | |||
* Daniel also has a patch to address the timezone mismatch in the controls as well by feeding them floating going in and enforcing timezones on the way out. | |||
