[Exist-development] State of trunk and developer's teleconference this Friday

[Wolfgang M. <wol...@ex...>]

Hi guys,

while I'm happy about the amount of bug fixing which has been done
recently, I'm also concerned that we're still experiencing issues with
SVN trunk, and even worse, there are always new issues popping up. I
think we agreed that the goal has to be to release 1.4.1 soon,
immediately followed by a 1.5 release, which should have more than
beta quality. Contrary to this, there were several issues last week
which broke existing code, e.g. in the admin web app, and blocked
other developers.

For the time being, I would again like to ask everyone to concentrate
your efforts on real bug fixing and testing, including demos and other
vital parts of the web site. Please avoid

* merely cosmetic changes
* major refactorings unless they are motivated by a bug which cannot
be fixed otherwise
* new features within the core of eXist (everying inside src/)

I would like to invite everyone to discuss this and other topic at
another developer's teleconference Friday next week.

Wolfgang
