Hi all,

Here's notes from today's meeting in irc.freenode.net #blendercoders.

1) Projects for 2.70

- Sergey Sharybin has a big commit waiting that fixes most of the reported 
regressions related to his work on threaded object updates.

- FBX woes: Autodesk is fading out the FBX version we use, attempts to support 
the newer versions (7.3/7.4) run into troubles because a lack of public specs. 
There's some hidden checksum that validates files - or so. Bastien Montagne and 
Campbell Barton work on it. Help welcome!

- A lot of time was spent on finding out how to move on with UI work with 
adding 'tabs' in regions that have too many button panels. We'd like to get 
some minimal guidelines, so other module teams can handle tabs in their own 
editors. Jonathan Williamson  confirms this is a 2.70 target still, and he'll 
handle a guideline a.s.a.p.

- Tamito Kajiyama proposed to update the Freestyle API, but it would result in 
breakage for old scripts....

- Meeting agrees on moving to "BCon 3" - the maintaineance/bugfix period, no 
new branches or big new features added. But we accept as exception the above 
two topics (freestyle, tabs).

2) Other projects
