[Julian Tenney]

No problem. Thank you for all your contributions so far.

What do we want to do with this release? Here's the thing: in October we will have some of the HTML5 support and will need to release it when the Xenith project completes. If we get much closer to October, we will be saying to users 'here's an update', cue much hassle for them updating etc, and then less than a few months later we're going to put them through the same thing - that isn't going to win us any friends if we do those releases too close to each other.

There comes a point where if we don't release this build, we wait. I don't know where that point is, but it is getting nearer all the time. There really isn't much left to do, I think, and I think if we don't have this ready by the end of June, we wait. I don't want to wait because I expect the summer time is a good time for people to do upgrades etc, but maybe that isn't necessarily the case, but I think making two releases in less than 3 months is too frequent. Also, I suspect the HTML5 output will be a bigger draw than multi-language support, for most people, and I don't want to do anything that stops people engaging with the HTML5 work.

What do you all think?

I can do that, but not this week. It's really quite a lot of work and I have spend already some significant time on xerte this weekend.

Attached are some new icons currently missing from the pages menu and wizard.

I'm still unsure which xwd I should be adding these to... would you mind adding them to the xerte editor's library, and adding them to the right xwd file for toolkits please? They will need adding as icons in the wizard's library as well

Things I can see that need doing are:

Icons
When I used the menu to change the language to french, it didn't appear that anything happened (should we confirm to the user the new choice?), but the wizard, when I ran it, was in English?
Advanced Display. Does this have to be the first child of a LO? Also, it's not a page of content: this might break things that assume that children of LO are pages, particularly in situations where the navigation is 'menu'.
