4. svn vs cvs

• discussion of differences for those that didn't know
• repeat of vote
  • everyone about the same. Except Dave "why the hell not" Shield

• date for change: Feb 23

5. wiki status
   • status of tutorials
     • mfd not converted
     • files not converted
   • discussion surrounding links to code files
     • should files be in the wiki and editable? seems unsafe.
     • decision -- link to external files is svn/web
   • ready to link tutorials to top page?
     • yep. Wes will change link.
6. next releases and dates
   • choices:
     • 5.4.1
     • 5.3.2
     • 5.2.4
   • decisions:
     • 5.2.4 next
     • There are two different interpretations by people that were in the meeting about what to do after that:
       • 1) 5.4.1 next and 5.3.2 after that.
       • 2) no decision on what to do next and it should wait to be discussed later
       • therefore, topic will go to a mailing list.
     • 5.2.4 release manager: Dave
