GIT Flow
- Basic GIT tutorial http://gitimmersion.com/
- Two git-flow processes
- (1) Simple, but no hot-fix branch: http://scottchacon.com/2011/08/31/github-flow.html
- (2) Perhaps too complex, but with hot-fix branch: http://nvie.com/posts/a-successful-git-branching-model/
- Rules
- Clean up feature branches
- Recreate release branches from tags
- Honza make a wiki page describing the flow
Testing
- Some tests failing.
- The test-bot needs from GIT: github.com/firebug/firebug/tests
Next Goals
- Better Parser API, Sebastian and Simon
- Firecookie, Honza (but what about Swarms?)
Swarms
- What about having a panel with extensions?
- How far is the Swarms idea to be finished?
- Sebastian: post a Swarm status.
Module Loader
- Christoph doing progress
- Modules join on the fly
- Support for packages
- Could enable independent package/module development in the future
