Cool.

Well, 1.3.9 is more or less feature-complete. It needs some work on
filtering SQL injection attempts and lots and lots of testing. Also, a
good look through the list of open bugs can't hurt.

I doubt that they can help with these, so we'll have to look for work to
be done after the 1.3.9 release.


I've outlined 3 tasks here, which are also pretty much self-contained:

<http://lists.geeklog.net/pipermail/geeklog-devtalk/2003-September/
000299.html>

#1 (cleaning up the upload class) would improve maintainability (and
troubleshooting) a lot.

#2 (parsing RSS and future feed formats) will also help with
maintainability and extensibility (in case the Atom format catches on, we
will need a parser for it and integrating it into the current code could
become, erm, interesting ...).

#3 (Daily Digest) - it seems that the Daily Digest feature is quite
popular but it eats a lot of CPU time and runs into timeouts in hosted
environments pretty quickly. The task is to look for alternatives and/or
improve the current solution.

I have some more that I would need to flesh out. And there's always
<http://www.geeklog.net/article.php?story=20030803155454822> in case they
want to pick their own tasks.


The question is, however, how much of that workforce do we want to direct
at 1.3.x and wouldn't it be better to get them to help on GL2? On the
other hand, they probably have the same problem that lets me spend so
much time on 1.3 - we have sites running and need this and that feature
NOW and not at some (possibly far-away) point in the future ...

bye, Dirk

It will be interesting to see what features they need to add. We should
probally brainstorm about 1.4 features.

Regarding 1.3.9. I have a little bit left to do on the new block admin code
that will also us to move blocks up/down and left/right from the block
listing.

1.3.10 - I don't really want to edit all the documents again. Let's see
if we can catch up with Apache (currently at 1.3.29 ;-)

FWIW, kudos to Dirk. I just had my first article with a photo on Iowa 
Outdoors that forced an autmatic thumbnail that is clickable. 
Excellent, looks professional and lets people blow up the image 
(something I have always wanted).

Actually, kudos should go to Alexander Schmacks who contributed this code.
