Meeting Details

If you can't dial in for some reason, let us know your info so we can try to bridge you in.

bug 503069 – Registration server-side validation error does not appear on screen
bug 503349 – Forgotten username function doesn't present an error if the user's email is not in the database
bug 503594 – Ctrl-J from the command line editor doesn't close the window

Kevin is working on file browser actions - tell the file browser what you want to do to a file and it will prepopulate a command line for you
Joe's filename completion helps with commands as well, but is only active in two commands (newfile, load). There is also completion for settings.
Bespin now has "builtin" plugins and a bit more robust auto code reloading. This is still very alpha.
Julian's quickopen changes are in
- You can now jump to a project in addition to a file.
- You can also search just part of the tree
- Dion thought that the second input field for project was a bit confusing
- Dion suggested "Find File in <projectname>" where <projectname> lists the current project and lets you select another
- Ben: it's really just a matter of polishing the interface a bit so that the interface remains quick to use but gives the user good visual cues. We'll have our designer take a look and produce a mockup.
bug 503594 (ctrl-J should close the command line): We may not want ctrl-J to exit the command line in the new interaction (with the file browser at the top, etc.), because you'll use ctrl-J to switch from the file browser view to the command output view.
Ben and Dion met with Mozilla.org webdev folks regarding Doctor last week. They will try to loop in Gordon, who expressed an interest in helping them use Bespin as an editor.
