It’s been a couple of weeks since our last update.

Some developments on the release front…

• Last week we released Chandler 0.7.4.
• There was also a Chandler Server release, 0.12.0.
• We are close to rolling out a Chandler 0.7.4.1 which addresses a bug that complicated upgrades from version 0.7.3.

We have started making progress on our short term strategy which Katie Parlante outlined in a blog post last week.

We have outlined a prioritized list of desktop bug fixes that we feel address some of the pain points for our users. Grant has started working on many of these and you can track our progress on the wiki. We have already started removing some components of the UI that were confusing users. Our Thunderbird plugin, although still in the work queue, has been prioritized down a bit so that Brian Kirsch is available to help us on the web side for the short term. Phillip Eby is wrapping up his work on setuptools and should have the 0.6 release out today.

On the web side we have been spending quite a bit of time working out the web work queue and floating various proposals and ideas on the list. Mimi recently sent out a list of critical bugs to fix in the Web UI that address some of the barriers for people getting started. We have also been working out the detailed use cases and designs for some of our web widgets. We are currently in the process of prioritizing the work queue and dividing up the work between Travis, Jeffrey and Brian. Travis has already implemented a very early stage quick entry widget that people can play with. He is spending most of his time in the next few weeks porting our current web UI to Dojo 1.0. Randy has been circulating a proposal on the list to tackle a security hole when users share read only items. We seem to be getting close to a final solution.

We are in the process of updating the wiki so that it captures our plan of record and all the work queues and prioritizations.

Lastly, we are still taking care of a number of lingering logistical and administrative issues pertaining to the reorganization.
