Happily Azalea freeze bug <https://gna.org/bugs/?8752> seems to have vanished. The only important issues remaining are: - System doesn't behave very well when an application crash (it's often impossible to log out). I don't plan to fix it before livecd release unless I find enough time to investigate it. - <https://gna.org/bugs/?9047> which cannot be fixed in a short amount of time according to Yen-Ju. Another issue is related to GNUstep.icontheme icons which are drawn in OuterSpace with pretty ugly drawing artifacts on the border. I think this may come from png format which isn't always properly read by gnustep-gui. Jesse, were GNUstep icons saved to PNG with Photoshop?

I'm not sure we will have enough time to check whether documentation is always accurate but at least, we should check documentation is properly output for XMPP, PaneKit, RSSKit, System and IconKit. I have a skeleton makefile that should output documentation for any modules which include it. If we have time we should probably upload the documentation on website. Did I forget other important modules? > Any comments? Quentin, did I forget anything? You mention the important stuff :-) Here are some additional points which doesn't really matter for the LiveCD but could be more or less important for release 0.2… --> App Names and Icons We should discuss renaming some applications now. I suppose that it would ease the job of distro packagers if they don't have to handle many renamed packages in future. The following applications should be considered in the renaming process: - StepChat (better name without Step?) - Vindaloo (needs a name which makes clear it's a PDF-related utility) Also some applications have no icons: - Vindaloo - Sketch (I don't think it's really important since it's probably going to move in Developer/Examples at some point in future) --> Repository Layout, Code and Installation Other tasks which needs to be done: - XMPP framework must be moved to Frameworks, probably by creating an XMPPKit. - Jabber directory must be renamed to match new StepChat name. - Fix PreferencesKitExample to use PaneKit (rename it PaneKitExample by the way) - <https://gna.org/task/?4923> - Improve setup.sh to be more flexible (DESTDIR and setting defaults on Étoilé start if they aren't) As a reminder various tasks still to be done can be found here: <https://gna.org/task/?group=etoile> May be it's good idea to try to use this task tracker more often. --> Website and Documentation Three weeks ago iirc, I reorganized few parts of the website, it should now be cleaner. Some work remains though… - Ensure applications and frameworks page is up-to-date. Frameworks and Applications pages must only mention modules available in - stable. Modules in development or at planning stage should be mentionned on a distinct page Also if we have enough time… - Upload documentation on website (we could upload documentation for non-documented frameworks too, that's useful to browse their classes quickly) - Output and upload on website every files written in ReST (like READMEs and INSTALLs). I would be in favor of moving all content put on each page describing a framework or an application to their related README in ReST format. It means we don't have to update the website anymore for each module-specific page, we just display its README rendered in html.
