Meeting to discuss development. Other issues to wait till next week.

Present

  • dan
  • kim
  • krusty-tranny
  • lordrich
  • statto

Agenda

  • Discuss services page, one at a time. Talk about How, What and Who for each one. Think about how services integrate with other services, where/how we store a user database, whether we can use external services for some of them (eg. getsatisfaction.com for support).
  • Do we need to use all open source?
  • Talk about modules and what content types we want to create within Drupal, which will depend upon how we do moderation etc.
  • Discuss how the site's been setup, and a Subversion intro for those of us used to CVS repositories
  • Decide priority of what we develop first (ease of implementation, importance, dependencies etc)

Minutes

  • We will use open source where possible.
  • Given lack of modules for D6, we will use D5 for now.
  • We will be discerning in our module choice to avoid too much work for ourselves when we come to upgrade - picking too many badly coded modules that have lost other developer support would be bad. Good modules will be ported anyway, so if we have a high quality control we should be fine.
  • Use Trac for version control.
  • We will alternate dev and process meetings.

Modules to implement

  • We will use Markdown with smartypants and see if our beta testers like it, rather than rich text (with all its semantic issues) for now.
  • Spam module for spam.
  • To add: pauthauto, xmlsitemap, invite, printer friendly pages, porter stemmer, devel, views and cck.
  • Try hidden, modr8 and workflow, and see which we like best
  • Don't worry about panels until we identify a need for it
  • install organic groups and multisite manager and have a play

Action

  • kim will install d5 and trac and install site wide modules (authauto, xmlsitemap, invite, printer friendly pages, porter stemmer, devel, views and cck.)
  • lordrich will look at OG and multisite manager, as well as continuing mailman integration research & testing.
  • dan to look at calendars and help with site wide modules
  • kim & lordrich to investigate mysql subversion integration
