Keep your own lists for now, and we'll put them somewhere common, thanks,

I'm just going through all the page types now and have found a few small problems - are we emailing everything we find to the list or putting them on the google doc somewhere?  Where is that?

Here's a good example of the level of detail we need to test. I create a bullets page:

The default for delay is 10 seconds. This doesn't seem appropriate for a default.
The label is confusing: what does Delay (in 0.1 seconds) mean?
The gaps between the bullets on the page are too big, should be 20 pixels to be consistent with other spacing.

And that's just bullets.

Guys, we really need to test this properly. I don't know how we do this, because we are all busy. But if we don't, we might as well not have bothered.

OK, I'm making a list of the things I find that's wrong, because when the list gets busy like this it's impossible to keep track of what's going on.

Sounds like a logic fail in the code (will check at lunch)

Back to that publishing thing: if a project is private, I see a greyed out publish button: if I set it to publics, there's no button

no, when you publish it creates a copy of data.xml in the folder for that project in USER-FILES

This needs looking at. If I create a LO, add a page, preview, and quit the wizard, I get prompted to publish. I say 'yes'.

Then export fails.

Erm, silly question time, but when I click the publish button, I get this form: but there is no 'publish' button? So how do I publish it?

I think you fix it by making sure you publish the project before exporting... (just a guess)

I make a simple project, graphics and sound page: looks like this:

Export a deployment zip, I get this:

Not good. We need to test everything again now, please, I need everyone's help, because if we start deploying stuff with problems it's just going to be a massive PITA for everyone, and we'll lose people.
