Developer Platform and Repository
Progress: Delivered null repository views and importing items into

Morgen and Phillip in-person (and others) were useful to talk about

fixes.   ChandlerDB version 0.5-7.  Katie, Ted and Aparna met to 
discuss performance data set definition and gathering.

Progress: Fixed bugs, WebUI tweaks. Switch default from external DB to 
internal embedded DB (easier to install).

Work with Sheila on a planning page. Get TODO list published outside of 
CVS somehow (Bear + RSS?).  Update docs. Use whatever license Sheila 
chooses.  Install Cosmo on OSAF host for Chandler test/use.  Work with 
Bear on build/test automation.  Phone screen Web developer candidates 
(with Philippe's help).
