Notes from the platform team meeting:

*sprints*
The platform team is not interested in doing any in person "sprints" for 
the rest of the year. People are pretty focused on α4 and α5 work.

*sharing, external information model*
The EIM/sharing proposal didn't get a lot of list feedback. In 
particular, PJE is interested in the application programmer's point of 
view. Do the examples make the API look easy enough to use?

*log files, tracebacks, feedback*
We also discussed recent problems with log files missing traceback data. 
   We know from looking at old logs that traceback data is missing (Bug 
6618), and we know that the feedback dialog sometimes displays 
tracebacks that are not in the log (Bug 6586). Missing diagnostic 
information is really hurting our ability to track down problems, so 
fixing these bugs is pretty important. Andi and John are the current 
owners of the two bugs above.

Heikki is working on a pass through the feedback data to log bugs that 
may have been missed. Morgen and Andi asked for a feature where the 
feedback window gives some sort of ticket that can be added to a bug, so 
that a developer can track down the log file on the server. Heikki noted 
that the feature is in the plan, just not implemented yet.

Grant has a patch to unify twisted.log and chandler.log. The team was in 
favor of doing this, as it has been a pain to deal with separate log files.

Cheers,
Katie
