1. Release notes
The user release notes have been updated; the updates are currently
only in the rw volume.
2. Early release
We will delay for one week to get an idea of how much the new
gnome-core helps. Current target is June 25th (which makes the target
for public somewhere around July 25th).
3. AUI
We briefly discussed whether or not we still want a separate AUI team.
There is still work to be done (nautilus, drag and drop printing,
etc.), but on the other hand, delivery projects should have a
well-defined scope. We could draw up a list of specific deliverables
for the next release, though. Issue was left unresolved.
Greg mentioned the work nsanch has been doing (grenew, gzephyr,
possibly gdiscuss and a mail client in the future). beland noted that
the ariels gzephyr is mostly in good shape at least on one platform,
which means we'll have to have a deathmatch to decide which one goes
in the release.
4. Pine configuration
We didn't resolve a whole lot here. Jonathon will submit a new patch.
We at least want to display other imap folders besides the inbox, if
they exist. Still not clear whether we should have MH folders in the
standard config.
5. Booting
Sun might do something intelligent about booting, someday. Watch us
not hold our breath. (Specifically, the prom group might actually
bless the long form "boot net" which we depend on, they might have
support for specifying an IP address in a dhcp boot request, and they
may have somewhat more impetus to get cnboot into stock Solaris.)
