Notes
- herd updates
- fern was on a poor connection, so he will email the list (ubiquity-core) with updates.
- 0.5.1 progress
- just pushed 0.5pre7 (=0.5.1pre1)
- called it 0.5.1 as atul wasn't sure if it would be picked up correctly
- next time we'll call it 0.5.1pre1
- Current hg (+ 0.5pre7) includes numerous Parser 2 performance improvements, potential fixes to freezing bug + flickering
- let's encourage people on lists to try it out.
- 0.5.1 by the end of the week
- Any blockers left for 0.5.1?
- see the trac report: http://tinyurl.com/ubiq051
- Keystrokes not always being registered because cancel is taking awhile to be called #741
- enter bug, hitting execute and nothing happens, appears to be fixed with mitcho's commit
- when ubiquity is opened up the first few keystrokes are sometimes lost
- Parser 2 is faster? Maybe. Please try.
- just pushed 0.5pre7 (=0.5.1pre1)
- General future work (beyond 0.5.1)
- mitcho looking at community command localization
- Current localization status (as of 0.5): http://mitcho.com/blog/projects/ubiquity-localization-whats-new-whats-next/
- Initial ideas: http://mitcho.com/blog/projects/a-visual-guide-to-community-command-localization/
- Hindi localization coming from Anant (other labs intern in mountain view)
- others working on Slovak, Italian commands, etc.
- There was a suggestion on the Google group on adding previews for the context-menu Ubiquity
- display it in the Ubiquity command line?
- how to add additional arguments?
- discussion to continue...
- Brandon's thinking about command uplift
- Consider image editing (http://blog.nihilogic.dk/2009/06/photo-editing-with-ubiquity.html ) and text-to-speech
- Command feedback mechanism
- Being able to comment on commands somehow (herd, in about:ubiquity, etc.)
- Current standard feeds don't even all include author info - Heather will come to the rescue.
- Learn from SUMO? AMO? Jetpack gallery?
- fern hopes to add commenting and voting to the herd
- There is discussion of a Ubiquity gallery, à la Jetpack gallery.
- For 0.6, the end user release:
- Think about friendlier command subscription. Please comment!
- http://mitcho.com/blog/projects/friendlier-command-feed-subscription/
- Heather is contacting command authors to do Parser 2-API conversion outreach. Yay!
- mitcho is going to do a screencast on converting a command to the new API
- Stats:
- 8-23k users on the beta line
- 30-100K users using 0.5
- mitcho looking at community command localization
