Hi Tom
re points 3 & 4 How will the authentication work on the beta forum and
install? e.g. linked to community site/forum accounts or additional? Happy
to help with instructions etc.

Ok. succeeded in doing that (almost)

I need someones help to catch the close event to ask whether the drawing
should be saved or not.

Other than that, it works, only now you have to make sure that you push the
save button yourself.

See the usual test install :-)

I am going to take the following actions in the course of this week:

1. Commit editor code to editor branch
2. Merge editor branch into develop (at that point we have a unstable
release on the website) 3. Make a closed beta-test forum with instructions
4. Make a cosed beta install available 5. Continue implementing the
deprecated attribute for the xwd pages and parameters on the editor branch
to be merged into develop later on 6. Look at the list of issues and decide
what features to implement for the next release 7. After we have finished
the features create branch 2.2 (or whatever version number we are thinking
of (3.1?)) to start a public beta

Let me know if this suits everyone?
