Meeting Notes

  • Julian has things in his Bespin repo, Th repo and Dany has some things in Th repo to be pulled
    • Ctrl->CMD changes
    • Copying text into vcs clone window working
    • Line selected and you press enter, should replace line
    • Dany has Thunderhead editor and some bugfixes
    • Copy/paste and quickopen fixes
  • Gordon has some work on svn repositories that needs to be pulled
  • Command line has new features thanks to Joe
    • Completion for filenames
    • Better layout of command code (separate files)
    • Illegal commands are turned red immediately so that you can tell when it's not going to work
    • Lines 24&25 in shared.css aren't working, which is causing highlighted text on the command line to appear as yellow on white background (essentially unviewable)
  • Project command is broken
    • do want project in quickopen in
  • Plugins
  • Julian pointed out that Th in Bespin repo makes for big diffs
    • We may rethink the way Bespin source checkouts deal with Th in the future
  • mozilla.org is considering replacing Doctor with Bespin, if it makes sense to do so
    • This needs SVN support (which Gordon has provided a patch for)
    • Ben is meeting with the relevant folks tomorrow
  • Usability issue: commands don't check to see if your file is saved (like newfile)
  • First thing is that a command that is going to replace the current editing buffer really should check to see if it's saved.
    • Gordon thinks newfile should just create the file but not open it
    • Perhaps we should make it more like new file in traditional editors: create an empty buffer, prompt the user for the file at the end.
  • Bookmarks bug has a new patch attached to it
