Meeting Minutes 28 November 2007
Present: Randall Britten, James Lawson, Catherine Lloyd, Justin Marsh, Poul Nielsen, Andrew Miller, Tommy Yu
Apologies: Peter Hunter
Review of last week's action items
Catherine will take a look at writing the documentation to remove reaction elements and to provide examples/best practices.
Catherine noted Sarala is still quite stressed. Will use the tracker to deal with this issue rather than raising it in meetings.
Action item: Catherine will create tracker item.
Randall to email Matt, asking him on the readiness of deployment of Plone 3
Randall noted that Matt has made a commit to the subversion repository to turn deployment script into development, and will confirm with him that it is ready for Tommy to take over.
Agenda
Publicity of PCEnv
On the mailing list Alan Garny suggested that PCEnv is to have its own site and have a better name to gain more prominence.
Unify PCEnv with Cmgui (and even COR) may be discussed in the workshop, possibly along with the above point.
James was going to rewrite the overview page to point people to PCEnv.
Action item: Tommy to create a quick links section and point to PCEnv.
Action item: Randall to check with ABI IT regarding getting PCEnv its own domain name.
CellML workshop/meeting 2008
Date is now set at 26 March 2008, which would be one day before the conference at Waiheke
The agenda will be tight, need to schedule what to do and what needs to be presented.
Taishin Nomura has a Physiome meeting in Japan at around the same time, meaning the Japanese groups may not be attending this year.
Stable URI for Jonna's CellML 1.1 models
Solution was to create a directory on the root level of the site, and redirect them to the final repository when it is completed.
Action item: Tommy will create this directory (/models_1.1)
Update on CellML 1.2 progress
There has been discussion on the CellML identifier name rules specified in the 1.1 spec. The EBNF notation differs subtly from the plain English wording.
The English implies that if the identifier begins with an underscore (or multiples of underscores) a digit may follow
However in the published EBNF notation this cannot be done, as a letter must come before any digit characters.
Need to look back at the meeting minutes from the time the specification was drafted to confirm the thoughts of the authors.
- Action item: Andrew will check relevant minutes.
- Action item: Andrew will try to create an easier way for his work on the spec to be viewed.
It will be nice to have a web view or an RSS feed of the current specification document as it progresses.
Update on PMR2
Tommy is looking at Zope schemas, and see how that could use less of Plone.
Mercurial may be a better candidate for the back end due to it being written in Python, thereby offering better integration with Zope.
Updates on PCEnv 0.3
Justin noted that the release candidate two is released, and if no major issues are found before next Monday it will be the PCEnv 0.3 release.
