It's a good start, but will need improvements 07:40:03 #info richardm had actually documented plural forms already at https://wiki.mahara.org/index.php/Language_Packs/Plural_forms 07:40:37 improvements or extensions... 07:40:37 so the basics are there and can be expanded on. 07:40:49 anitsirk: agree 07:41:06 Iarenaza is not here for second item 07:41:11 So 07:41:11 i have his update 07:41:36 iarenaza apologizes for not being here. he talked to laurent and that's what laurent said: 07:41:41 "I hoped I could be able to port the plugin last spring - between two projects - but unfortunately it didn't happen. 07:41:41 * anzeljg has to go and will return in 15 minutes 07:41:41 The goal is still to integrate the plugin but it will have to wait a bit. We have some Mahara developments that will take place in the next few months, which are currently in the preparation stage. This will be an opportunity to integrate the plugin. Otherwise I should have a bit of time when we do the next update, maybe this spring. 07:41:42 One aspect is the need to adapt the plugin to work with the new filter system, that will take a little more time than to do a simple port. In any case I've had a look at the docs to submit a change in the core. I've already done most of the operations but I find the process a bit cumbersome, especially if it is for ad-hoc developments. 07:41:43 In any case don't hesitate to contact me (again) if you need any info - if I do not answer your mail is probably because it has disappeared into the bowels of my mailbox" 07:42:50 #info laurent is still planning on implementing oembed into core, but has other priorities at the moment. it needs a big more work to work with the new filtering system. 07:42:52 Excellent 07:43:26 Just a clarification as I couldn't be here for the last two dev meetings. There was a discussion around the safeiframe feature, oembed and embedl.ly. Embed.ly is a plugin that anyone can install on their Mahara instance (no matter whether big or small), but it would not go into core as it could cause problems down the track if APIs etc. change (see Google Apps issues). It's not just for big installations. OEmbed is different as it is built on open 07:43:26 standards and does not rely on a third-party server to operate to show embedded media files (as far as I understand it). That's why OEmbed is proposed for core, but not Embed.ly. 07:43:49 .. 07:44:08 That all ge passed on? 07:44:20 Thats all of action items 07:44:38 yep 07:44:43 #topic mahara 1.6 release 07:44:49 Anitsirk 07:45:01 Well, since it's now just the three of us, not much to talk about the release. ;-) 07:45:13 Well, it'd be in the logs for the others 07:45:14 Thought so: -) 07:45:33 #info RC2 is out and there is one last thing (keep fingers crossed) that needs fixing and then we can release 1.6. 07:45:56 elky: do you want to name the date? 07:46:37 aquaphone, have you identified the issue yet? 07:46:54 Haven't fixed but have idea 07:47:02 estimate? 07:47:28 Tomorrow hopefully 07:47:29 * anzeljg is back... 07:47:45 that was a quick 15 minutes, anzeljg :-) 07:47:48 hi rkabalin 07:47:52 Hi rkabalin 07:47:53 anitsirk, we might be able to get it out on Friday, but if not, it'll go out on Tuesday 07:48:02 #info Ruslan Kabalin - Lancaster University, UK 07:48:06 hello 07:48:27 hi rkabalin. we're discussing the eta for 1.6 :) 07:48:45 ok 07:48:49 reading through... a question: is 1.6 release set to tomorrow? 07:49:01 anzeljg, Friday or Tuesday 07:49:06 #info one last issue to fix for mahara 1.6 and release will be made friday, 19 October 2012 or Tuesday 23 October 2012 07:49:22 Tuestad, 23rd? 07:49:29 Depending on the resolution of an annoying clash of responsive design and tinymce 07:49:30 Tuesday i mean 07:49:46 anzeljg, yes 07:49:59 NZ has a public holiday on monday 07:50:01 It would be great since I'm presenting Mahara and new features on Thursday, 25th... 07:50:13 anzeljg: great. 07:50:18 excellent :) 07:50:44 you could already present them on the RC as there aren't going to be any new features. but of course saying that 1.6 is out is much better. 07:51:02 Right that all for release discussions?
