[Dev] OSAF Status Overview, May 10

[Lisa Dusseault]

Overall/Coordination
We are heading towards the May 30 milestone which will be 0.5.03.    
Most developers have detailed plans for 0.5.03 milestone but only the  
Apps team has detailed plans beyond that.  The amount of time  
tentatively scheduled for each developer for 0.6 tasks varies wildly,  
from 1 month to 6 months.
  - 0.6 high level goals clearly articulated and communicated.
  - Recurrence work is turning out to be more of a central architecture  
issue having to do with the API for an Item -- Katie is tackling.
  - Some product instability: crashes, Mac edit fields -- being  
addressed.
  - Major new email functionality (May 6) will be demoed May 12.
  - Major new sidebar functionality and look.

Design Team  
(http://wiki.osafoundation.org/bin/view/Chandler/DesignGroup)
Progress: All the 0.6 specs exist at least in early draft format.  All  
UI workflows for most specs are there although we still need developer  
input.  Timezone work needs to be carefully scoped (spec barely  
started).  0.6 Virtuality (design of item collections, sidebar and  
sharing) confirmed.  Work proceeding on sample data based on users and  
use cases.  Contributions to D Conference presentation.
Plans: Lisa to work on Timezone spec, particularly non-requirements.  
Katie to work on recurrance "virtual events" issues -- decisions made  
there should cause a spec update.  Continue work on sample data.
Personnel: Sheila is OOF Wed/Thurs this week (WAC update) and for  
following two weeks.

Applications  
(http://wiki.osafoundation.org/bin/view/Chandler/ApplicationProject)
Progress: Defined bugzilla tracking plan and conventions  
(http://wiki.osafoundation.org/bin/view/Chandler/BugzillaTracking).  
Worked on Demo D for Mitch to give. Did 0.6 high-level goals  
presentation.  Checked in: calendar drawing bugs, detail view  
polish/fonts, calendar colorizing, new toolbar images, revised sidebar,  
text truncation with ellipses, gradients, sidebar buttons, bare-bones  
CPIA scripting.
Plans: Work on reducing amount of work where possible; in meantime  
continue working on current SWAG plan.
