Apps meeting Tuesday December 20th 2005

No meeting this week

With people preparing for the holiday and 0.6 RC under test, there will be no Apps meeting today.

Please update your personal weekly status here under. I will create a summary once I get the entries of everyone.

We will use the same reporting method next week (for people not completely in vacation).

Summary

• Plan :
  • Finish 0.6 on-line docs, Stay alert on potential 0.6 blocking bugs being raised
  • Start 0.7 Architecture Tasks
• Progress :
  • 0.6 : Fixed a bunch of last minute blockers, no blocking bugs right now, RC2 being built
  • 0.7 : Turned CG on on Mac, Started thoughts and code on some Architecture Tasks
• Problems : Still need more estimates for 0.7 Architecture Tasks

Status

Alec

• Lots of calendar-based coregraphics work - mostly removing old hacks that were required because of quickdraw
• fixed the selection model in calendar to deal with recurrence correctly
• tried, and failed, to fix mac delete bugs
• worked on a solution for CATS to deal with modal dialog boxes
• Discussion with bryan/jeffrey/etc about using FlexGridSizers in CPIA, reducing creation of excess container widgets, etc.

Bryan

• Finished the outgoing email address attribute editor (picks from configured accounts; sends outgoing message through the proper account)
• Added cc, bcc -- simply by adding block definitions (no AE work needed!)
• Dealt with a few last-minute 0.6 bugs
• Working on old bugs pushed to 0.7
• Starting to expand the task list related to my stuff
• After discussion with Jeffrey & Alec about FlexGridSizers^?, started a test implementation; hit a roadblock trying to make a block hierarchy that didn't match the widget hierarchy, and working around this led to a definition syntax that wasn't a significant improvement over what we have now. Will discuss with John when he returns.

• Finished reviewing architecture docs
