Note bis : All tasks from the previous minutes persist, except for the ones reported as finished below :

Table round on prev. tasks

Robin

Giving feedback on the MS web installer. Document shared. Issues encountered.
Action [Gaetano/Robin] : review the issues.
Action [Nicolas/Robin] : take the "ideal pull-request" task together : Robin was blocked.

Gilles

Wireframes for the "Get Involved > Develop" section delivered.
Colors of buttons to be changed + re-organization of the columns + removing some of the content (less links).
Action [Gilles] : new version incorporating the changes.
 
Left :

• Learning the build procedure.
• Twitter block on every event, scanning the event's hashtag

Gaetano

Windows installer screencast : not done, fixing installer first

History and dependencies graph:

• need from Engineering the dates of branching of 4.3 - 4.6 to actually show that eg. for 4.6 the best cp version is 2011.9 and not 2011.10
• vertical (diagonal in fact) lines from trunk to release dates are thus needed
• can be split in 3 graphs: ”version 3”, “version 4” and “community”. The first 2 are only for historical info, the 3rd one is used to show clearly the upgrade versions for CP
• highlight in different color cp versions that are ok to upgrade to one ent. version vs. those that need to be upgraded to the next one
• switch to a vertical layout? rm: see eg http://magazine.joomla.org/issues/Issue-Aug-2011/item/538-Infographic-Joomla-CMS-Development-Strategy

also the vertical version could be summarized in a simple table: ev vs. cp (per line)
action[Nicolas] : create such a table manually for now on share.ez.no. Will be automated once Gaetano has finished the tool.

• colors for ev vs cp: blue/orange
• turning current code into ez templates for integration on share? it is a desirable outcome - but after the layout has been finalized

Ole Marius (through email)

- Discuss the feasibility of creating an CI/Build repository, dedicated to Community Project + tagging of builds on github.
* Going to focus on providing builds as a service for the community first, rather than duplicating build functionality
* No technical hurdles for tagging.

- Need to test-drive the php script replacing the ruby script building the changelog : iso-functional or not
* Tested, seem to be parallel to existing scripts.

- ask Geir Arne to produce his view on these (wireframes, functional description, concrete) two points : tagging + user generated content.
* Geir Arne is open and likes to the idea. Resources will be needed to implement said put changes into effect.

Nicolas

- get a new logo available for docblox homepage

Next build : 2011.11
