    • Management
      • Non-developers?
      • Third party dtd's?

Merging Sty/CT

  • If the 0.2.8 branches are wanted, maybe they should be merged and become 0.2.9?
  • Merging trunk development
    • Per-feature branch theory
  • Trigger protocol
    • Need a way to let servers define new controls

Future Direction

    • OpenGL ES
    • GPL exceptions?
  • Scripting
    • Python scripting fork (removes Ruby "support")
  • Feature requests via bug tracker?
  • CMake and other stagnant branches

User Experience

  • Menus
    • Item Reorganisation
      • Implementation Details, better kept for future dev-only discussion
        • Use hooks to generate menus on the fly
          • eEvent branch uses boost::signals, finalise and use that?
        • Add menu entries statically, but better
    • Better Look


Testing after(for?) 0.2.8.3

  • Trunk
    • Quite unstable yet, not good for tournament servers. -- Branch 0.4?
    • Authentication threading not working, drop zthreads and use boost threads as we already use boost ?
    • New features
      • Referee votes
  • Windows 7
