[xmlWiki-developers] 15 Nov meeting minutes

[Arnaldo C. <ar...@mi...>]

All,
    Long (90 min) but very productive meeting:
-Iterations that have been finished: Save, Create, Preview.  Work has =
been done on Browse, but it hasn't been integrated with the rest of the =
code quite yet.
-Our project velocity would have us on track to finish Edit by the end =
of the 2nd iteration (which is also the first release, and the end of =
the semester)
-Hugo suggested that a dual-hatted Customer/Coach may not be the best =
idea; new Coach is yours truly
-Everyone, send me any thoughts you have to be included in the initial =
draft of our "reflections" document that will be turned in with our =
final artifacts
-Radu will be running meetings next week for those who are available =
during the Thanksgiving holiday; I'll be back in the saddle Nov 26th
-implementing controller module in Wiki architecture: we decided to go =
with a strategy that uses a special centralized controller servlet
-Jim wisely stressed the need to write rigorous tests before coding; one =
of the best ways to show that we're following XP.
-After much discussion, the group is going to dogpile the Edit story, =
the controller, and debugging/refactoring/integrating existing code:
    -check in code *as you go* to CVS
    -log into the xmlWiki chat room as you work to ensure that no one =
else is doing the same work as your pair simultaneously
    -hopefully "everyone being assigned everything" in this iteration =
will encourage more collective code ownership that was a bit lacking =
last iteration
    -it should also serve to enforce more frequent check-ins to CVS
    -work on Translate, etc. is extra credit: don't let it get in the =
way of the Edit story or the controller, and don't let it get in the way =
of a good book report or a good grade on your final (we want everyone to =
do well in the course, not just the project)

So, let's go get that Edit story, and the controller!  I'm on my way =
home for the Thanksgiving holidays.
