5. wiki status

   • discussion surrounding links to code files
     • should files be in the wiki and editable? seems unsafe.
     • decision -- link to external files is svn/web
   • ready to link tutorials to top page?
     • yep. Wes will change link.

next releases and dates

• choices:
  • 5.4.1
  • 5.3.2
  • 5.2.4
• decisions:
  • 5.2.4 next
  • There are two different interpretations by people that were in the meeting about what to do after that:
    • 1) 5.4.1 next and 5.3.2 after that.
    • 2) no decision on what to do next and it should wait to be discussed later
    • therefore, topic will go to a mailing list.
  • 5.2.4 release manager: Dave
