Miro 4.0 status (roadmap)
- working on metadata support, device syncing, performance enhancements,
extensions, streaming to other devices (ipad, ...), ...
- working on project infrastructure: wiki, nightlies, nightly runs of
unit tests, ...
Will:
- upgraded libtorrent 0.15.5
- will work on gstreamer switch next
Ben:
- continuing to work on performance fixes--wrote a bunch of unit tests
and now it's a matter of integrating it into the widget frontend
Geoffrey:
- looking into Bonjour on Windows. Apple ships a big metapackage
(printing services) that includes the core libraries. Pidgin open
source project advises you to install the library.
- looking at ways to detect whether the user has installed the
printing services.
- started looking into transcoding and working through the technical
issues.
- going to start wrapping things up in the daap branch and get ready
to merge it into master.
Paul:
- fixed a bunch of item-overhaul related bugs.
- added amazon store support
Janet:
- sent out a hitlist of bugs that should get fixed to make testing
easier
- sikuli is the awesome!
Asheesh:
- sprint on MC 1.2 stuff
- sprint on Duke bug fixing
- planning to focus on performance issues
Kaz:
- worked on the view menu which is basically working
Official business:
- Should we switch Miro on Windows to use gstreamer? Worth trying out and
if it gets too hard, we can defer it.
- Should we switch Miro on Windows to use webkit? Worth trying out and
if it gets too hard, we can defer it.
- Talked about short-term solutions for keeping us all on the same page.
Worth doing a check-in/check-out on IRC using a tag.
- Talked about moving our git repositories elsewhere. Benefits are
that we don't have to host it and deal with hosting work. Asheesh
is going to look into this.
- git master is in pretty heavy flux right now and because of that
nightlies are pretty unstable--use them at your own risk. This will
sort itself over time when there are fewer massive changes being
made.
- PCF is looking to hire
another Miro developer and a System Administrator. See the jobs
page for more details.
- Miro is developed by a community of people including you! If you
can't contribute your time and work, please consider contributing
funding by donating.
Your money goes directly to ongoing development of Miro and related
projects.
See http://pculture.org/about/
for more details on these projects.
- Did you know there's a Miro User Manual? If you haven't looked at
it yet, it's worth taking a look at. You can find it
at http://manual.getmiro.com/.
