Brian K

• Progress
  • Working on i18n documentation updates
  • Deprecate LocalizableString^?
  • BString renamed to Bytes
  • Started conversion of displayName and Description to Text. Stopped because of Set merging. bug: 3564
  • Hosted i18n office hours
  • Ran pygettext.py on Chandler source and am evaluating common strings which can go in a central messages file
  • Met to discuss .7 plans for mail
  • Refactored mail code to remove view setting logic. AbstractRepositoryViewManager^? and TwistedRepositoryViewManager^? now deprecated. Also moved API closer to PJE proposal. Grant will code review today.

• Plan
  • Resolve i18n tasks Bug: 3888 (Determine what approach to use for Message value replacement)
  • Resolve i18n tasks Bug: 3564 (Update schema for localization)
  • Resolve i18n tasks Bug: 3593 (Remove Python str casts from Chandler)
  • Resolve i18n tasks Bug: 3586 (Migrate Chandler code to new Repository Types including testing)
  • Finish identifing common strings and move to messages.py
  • continue working on i18n documentation

Grant

• Progress
  • timezone:
    • Bug:3768 (changing the timezone in the calendar view doesn't refresh the events).
    • Bug:3801 ("Generate Data" shouldn't generate "floating" events).
    • Bug:3783 (Map imported timezones to PyICU timezones)
  • zanshin:
    • Tracked down the underlying cause of Bug:3298 (Hang when trying to test pilikia SSL enabled).
    • Investigated of a different race condition on Windows - Bug:3645 (Zanshin tests fail on Cygwin)
    • Implemented moving all WebDAV operations (sharing, testing of accounts) into background threads (e.g., the Twisted thread, for testing of a count, or a separate thread for the others, which require more intensive repository usage). Code/design needs testing and review.
  • Looked into some performance issues with the minicalendar and calendar canvas. In the case of the first, we can definitely throttle calculations by making them lazier (i.e. by waiting till drawing time).

• Plan
  • More zanshin work (M5/6 tasks; bugs).
  • Fix timezone-related issues as they come up.
