There is a titanpad here: <a href="https://titanpad.com/xerteDev">https://titanpad.com/xerteDev</a>. I’ll write down as much as I can think of, but could you all check I’ve got everything you’re working on, and anything else you’d like to see added. I’ll then tidy it up into a more detailed plan before the end of this week if you can all put down your thoughts before end of Thursday?<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>We really want to get the release done in time for the Apereo conference in Baltimore: that is the first week in June, so we have something like 15 weeks to get the next release fixed up. Perhaps we need to work through a few phases: a good first phase would be to get a running install with the bleeding edge code running on it so we can all run the latest code; then to work to finish the development, and then we need to have a decent amount of time for testing and fixing up the final codebase.<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>It might also be sensible to break the work down into sub-projects and divide responsibility for those between us? I’m happy to put some effort behind managing the whole thing, and to put some time into testing – and to help out wherever I can as well, obviously,<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Julian<o:p></o:p></p></div></body></html>
