Message-Id: <200102280029.TAA17194@karst.mit.edu>
From: "andrew m. boardman" <amb@MIT.EDU>
To: aui@mit.edu
Attending: amb, ghudson, ajfox, othomas, sbjones, beland
1. Documentation
dryfoo will indeed be doing the minicourses, but he's out for the next
couple of weeks. Heather will be doing the mail documentation work, but
she's not getting started for a couple of weeks either. It seems there
will be a meeting of people who care about AUI documentation and training
in a few weeks where things will get started.
2. Bloody N42
N42-253 now has a bleeding-linux machine in it which can be used by N42
types to play with the current state of 9.0. (This room is also a
conference room and the usability lab.)
3. Menus
Close to done. We hashed out some microdecisions. Beland is finishing
them and coordinating with ghudson to get them into 9.0. (Deciding on
top-level menus was all we did at the last meeting.)
4. Usability Tests
The report from the first round of usability tests is complete.
There will be a second round in a month or two.
Susan is out mid-May to mid-June.
5. AUI/9.0 integration
The GNOME software we're pulling into 9.0 for AUI is mostly there and
compiles, at least under Linux. (Barring xalf and something
gtkwatch-like.) Configuration is still very much not done. Nautilus
does a lot of things on startup which need to get yanked, and has a lot
of failed assertions that need to be cleaned up. Spending much time on a
bug hunt is not currently called for given the rapid state of GNOME development.
6. Icons
PSB will provide rough-cut icons by the end of the day [since received]
and will be finishing them up based on our input [since given].
