AAP RELEASE 1.0 Most of June was spend on working towards the 1.0 release. Bugs have been fixed, inconsistencies removed and the documentation cleaned up. The deadline was the O'Reilly conference, where the 1.0 release will be presented. Unfortunately, not all documentation has been converted to docbook format yet. This will be done soon. AGIDE ON MS-WINDOWS Not planned but done anyway: Sergey Khorev made it possible to run Agide on MS-Windows and communicate with Vim. This requires applying a few patches to Vim (these will be released later). A few MS-Windows specific problems in Aap were also solved. ZIMBU AWARD To stimulate developers to help making Aap and Agide grow and improve the Zimbu award will be handed out. Everybody helping the A-A-P project has a chance to get one of the three prizes. More info on the web site: http://www.a-a-p.org/zimbu_award.html OSCON PRESENTATION The presentation for the O'Reilly Open Source Convention was further improved. A handout was made, so that more people know about the presentation and the A-A-P BOF session. There are eleven parallel sessions, thus conference visitors must be given a reason to chose for the A-A-P presentation. There has been a tryout for Snow. It was good to do this, especially to get a feeling for the timing. A few slides have now been removed, because they were too complicated to explain in a short time. Also, unexpected problems with the combination of laptop and projector appeared. Only afterwards I discovered how to fix this (restart the presentation program while the projector is connected). PROGRESS About half of June was not spend on A-A-P (trip to Uganda and meetings got in the way). According to the plan the documentation would have been finished and some work done on the version control wrapper. Unfortunately, the documenation is not completely finished and no work was done on the version control wrapper yet. This means the work lags behind about two weeks. COMING WEEKS First of all there is the OSCON conference and a week of holidays. Then I expect reactions to the 1.0 release to consume time to handle. People trying out Aap will report problems and ask questions. In the mean time I hope to finish cleaning up the documentation. What happens after that depends on the reactions of the 1.0 release. And hopefully a few people will get inspired by the Zimbu award and do part of the planned work. -- Computers are not intelligent.
