[Ted Leung]

Here's the summary of the activity on cosmo-dev for the week of  
October 14, 2007.

New threads:
-------

Adam Christian tested Cosmo's web UI on the iPhone and reported on  
his experience
+ Ted Leung asked him to file his problems as bugs

Mikeal Rogers reported that Cosmo 0.8 was likely to be delayed due to  
his being sick.   There is a serious blocker bug in iCal 3 that  
prevents Cosmo 0.8 from interoping with iCal 3.

Travis Vachon reported that there was a serious bug in Cosmo 0.8rc2  
related to Dojo 0.4.3.  He proposed reverting to Dojo 0.4.1 to fix  
the bug

005012.html>

Travis Vachon sent out a message about best practices for Dojo 0.4.3,  
especially with respect to circular uses of dojo.require
+ It turns out that the root of the problem is the use of single (as  
opposed to double) quotes in the require statements.

Travis Vachon discovered a potential fix for the problems with  
caching Atom data used by the web UI.   The solution involves  
specifying expiration dates for the Atom data.

Travis Vachon gave the lowdown on bug 11081 which involves JSON  
characters which turn out to be illegal Javascript.  There is both a  
server side and client side fix.  The client side fix is  
controversial due to the mismatch between JSON and JavaScript, so for  
0.8 the server fix was included.  The client fix is pending a  
response from Douglas Crockford, author of the JSON spec.

Ted Leung wanted to make sure that migration testing was done for  
Cosmo 0.8
+ Aparna Kadakia responded that migration testing was in the plan.

Adam Christian updated QA Cosmo to 0.8RC3, normally an un-newsworthy  
event
+ Travis Vachon pointed out that QACosmo was using the unbuilt  
dojo.js file

Ted Leung reported that bug 11090 meant a Cosmo 0.8RC4

Mikeal Rogers finished the protocol tests and Cosmo passes them.  He  
wanted to get the tests running on the tinderboxes.

Aparna Kadakia posted a call for people to test a migrated Cosmo 0.8

Continuing Conversations:
-------

Discussion continued on Aparna Kadakia's QA process change proposal
+ Matthew Eernisse noted that he is working on overlays in a branch  
and will be doing test cases
+ Ted Leung agreed with concentrating on growing the automated test  
suite at the expense of manual testing in the short term.
