-          No news on the website.

-          Quinn did a presentation at the last general meeting about RapidSVN.  It was well received.

-          We (as a group) need to establish a protocol for use of the WALRUS repository.

o   Standard formatted text file in the folder would help with tagging code

o   TRAC PHP Site as a front-end would be a good thing?

o   Blog about new additions?

o   UITS wiki?

§  LSITO wiki question

-          Canvas wiki question?

-          The new version of commonspot is supposed to have blogging and wiki features that UITS wants to evaluate before UITS makes official suggestions.

o   PantherFile and PantherLink have wiki options.

§  PantherFile wiki as possible options for WALRUS

-          Code Repository Policies Draft

o   Should we put binaries in the repository?

o   Should we but “prerelease” code in the repository?

o   Use “release” branch and “prerelease” branch for projects?

o   Put library of functions in repository

o   Make a distinction between cfcs and other products?

o   Separate area for documents like the charter and mission statement

o   Look walrus site map for ideas?

o   Put commonspot elements in the repository?

§  Make CMS stuff its own category

o   Make snippets, CMS, components, Applications(?), Collaborations(?), Dropbox(?) and functions categories

o   Snippets server for eclipse (for within WALRUS)?

o   Give the full group full access to dropbox and collaborations and then, the Code Repository group moves projects from dropbox to where they belong in the rest of the repository.

o   Have “collaborations” and “applications” copies in existence at the same time so you can have a stable release and a “nightly”.

o   Create a “Super Awesome” folder J

o   How do you keep the development folder clean?

§  Home directory for each user?

o   This is for WALRUS stuff only

§  Divisional specific code should go into a separate repository

o   Branches of code indicated in folder name?

§  “Jason’s Code 0.1 from 1.0 of Paul’s Code”?

§  “Jason’s Use of Paul’s Code 2.xx”?
