+ | |||
+ | === Unresolved Issues from Last Year === | ||
+ | |||
+ | * Three outstanding RFC's are awaiting Group voting | ||
+ | * [[pear: | ||
+ | * One new RFC is awaiting a vote | ||
+ | * [[pear: | ||
+ | * [[pear: | ||
+ | * it was decided to address these RFC's first as they are non-controversial and straightforward. | ||
+ | * Action Items | ||
+ | * New group members will catch up on [[pear: | ||
+ | * Group will vote on PEAR2 policy and standards RFC's at beginning of next meeting. | ||
+ | * Other RFC's will be discussed in detail during next meeting. | ||
+ | |||
+ | === Testing and Continuous Integration Server === | ||
+ | |||
+ | * agenda item was mostly skipped as Christian and Daniel are not present | ||
+ | * QA needs to be emphasized for PEAR | ||
+ | * PHPUC is on sg1 for testing with multiple PHP versions | ||
+ | |||
+ | === Attracting New Developers === | ||
+ | |||
+ | * Community outreach via blogs, social networks, etc was suggested | ||
+ | * PEAR needs mention on Facebook, Twitter, etc. | ||
+ | * Group members' | ||
+ | * Group members should post PEAR-related posts to the shared PEAR blog. | ||
+ | * this will include meeting minutes, vote outcomes, security notices, etc. | ||
+ | * The website was mentioned as a place where PEAR could improve its appearance to attract new developers. It was suggested that the website should include tutorials and screen-casts for new developers. | ||
+ | * The members of the PEAR group should all use Pyrus and promote | ||
+ | its use to other developers. | ||
+ | * High-quality packages with active developers will encourage other developers to use and contribute to PEAR. | ||
+ | * Being friendly, timely and helpful to new developers will help retain and attract new developers. Recent technical issues caused some slow turn-around recently, but these issues have since been fixed. | ||
+ | * Being quick to respond to new accounts and karma requests is important. | ||
+ | * IRC support is being handled pretty well. | ||

+ | * Bill will look into wrangling control of the pear and pear2 Twitter accounts. | ||

+ | |||
+ | === PEAR2 === | ||
+ | |||
+ | * Brett and Greg (cellog) are the only two developers working on PEAR2--they may need some help. | ||
+ | * website needs assistance in terms of development and design | ||
+ | * PEAR2 cannot launch until at least PHP 5.3.1, but the website and bug-tracking infrastructure likely won't be ready by then anyway. | ||
+ | * Marketing | ||
+ | * Teaser posts on Pyrus features will increase interest in PEAR2. | ||
+ | * Major marketing will be withheld until the stable launch of Pyrus. | ||
+ | * Bug Manager | ||
+ | * a functioning bug tracker is needed before PEAR2 can launch | ||
+ | * some PHP internals developers want a global bug tracker for all PHP projects | ||
+ | * PEAR2 developers want to build a stand-alone bug tracking package that could be used for PEAR2 and for other projects. (Bug Manager) | ||
+ | * either of these goals will take some time | ||
+ | * Action items | ||
+ | * Bill will look into assisting Greg with the Bug Manager package | ||
+ | * Christian will work on getting pearweb running on PHP 5.3.x to test the Bug Manager package with real-world data. | ||
