Hello everyone,

During today's meeting on EVO (which, by the way, seems to
persistently suffer from sound problems - as a result of which we'll
have the next meeting on Skype) we have decided to tag 0.8-alpha very
soon - on either Sunday evening or Monday morning! The reason for
waiting until the weekend is that there are still quite a few
0.8-related "fixed, needs review" issues in the tracker and at
least some of them pertain to new features in this version; therefore,
even though most of these issues are quite old and require merely
pro-forma verification, it would be good to have them signed off before
the tagging.

At present the list of such issues looks as follows:

34, 44, 57, 58, 70, 81 - to be reviewed by Titus;
54, 71 - to be reviewed by Jenny;
37 - to be reviewed by Namshin;
66, 80 - no reviewer! Fortunately these are not feature freeze-related.

Good luck!

On a related note, Chris has pointer out an important issue pertaining
to fix submission: with Pygr code changing quite rapidly it is very
easy on one hand for a patch to stop applying cleanly, on the other for
the devs to forget whether a patch has actually been committed :-) In
order to address this before it becomes a problem we would like to
introduce the following policy: each patch which has made it to the
fixed-needs-review stage is to be committed into a dedicated branch
(named, unimaginatively, "issueXXX" or something like this) of the
GitHub Pygr repository; these branches would then be deleted as the
code is merged into the main repository. Given that most (if not all)
Pygr developers have already got write access to that repository, the
overhead of this approach would be minimal while greatly facilitating
keeping patches under control.

What do you think?
