Notes from the admin meeting on 2006-11-03

1. next meeting:
   • 11/17/06
2. 5.4 issues
   • configure patch
     • still at 2-0 even though more requests were made for me to write it.
     • Robert +1, will write to coders
     • other reviewers would be good
   • python support
     • no known issues
   • memory inconsistencies
     • we should release stuff as it has been done before, regardless of whether that is wrong.
     • If we're inconsistent between OSes then we shouldn't change what a OS reports from 5.3 to 5.4 for an OS
     • We will have to create a new object(s) that are define properly and report the correct values consistently on all OSes. This is functionally a bug fix and can go into all patch branches too.
     • various people even agreed to do comparisons and will report back to coders. We'll fill in holes after we see what people test.
3. 5.4 schedule
   • posted to HTML
4. wiki
   • darix has possible suggestions about speed and will write coders
5. binaries (trogl)
   • wants to turn on sensors
   • group mostly agreed to turn it on for 5.4 in the source
     • rstory will create the patch and post to coders
