<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'courier new', monospace;">Hi everyone!<br><br>Countdown has started! In T-11 days, the Last Pre-1.0 release of Parrot will be cut. I would like to check with people that are working on tasks on the task list on the wiki page <a href="https://trac.parrot.org/parrot/wiki/ParrotRoadmap">https://trac.parrot.org/parrot/wiki/ParrotRoadmap</a>, to see what the status is. First, though, I would like to ask Everybody who's interested in Parrot, to run tests:<br>
<br>Running tests<br>=============<br>For the platforms that Parrot 1.0 will support, it is essential that all tests are passing. Therefore, please run "make fulltest" on a regular basis (e.g. daily), if you go for lunch (or meeting, breaks etc.). Please report any failures on <a href="http://track.parrot.org">track.parrot.org</a>, and set the bug report status to "high". Your help is highly appreciated.<br>
<br>Tasks<br>=====<br>The following tasks are due for the 0.9.1 release. (the resources assigned to these tasks are listed in [square brackets].) Preferably, the status of the tasks is updated on the tasklist of the Roadmap, but any signal to me would suffice if that would be more convenient (and I'll update the Roadmap accordingly) First, there's 2 critical tasks:<br>
<br>Critical:<br>=========<br>* ability to create dynoplibs and dynpmclibs from installed parrot (rescheduled from 0.9.0) [allison,particle,pmichaud]<br>* pdd20-lexicals, design docs [pmichaud]<br><br>Allison, particle, pmichaud: What is the status of these tasks?<br>
<br>No status (excluding critical):<br>=====================<br>* pdd26-ast, user docs (rescheduled from 0.9.0) [pmichaud,tene]<br>* pdd19-pir, user docs (rescheduled from 0.9.0) [whiteknight,tene]<br>* parrot user documentation, objects, pmcs, dynops, etc (rescheduled from 0.9.0) [allison]<br>
* pdd23-exceptions, describe reality, user docs, exception types [tene]<br>* windows porting, windows subprocesses [allison,particle]<br>* mmd & subclasses (resolve mmd tickets) [allison]<br><br>Allison, particle, pmichaud, Tene, Whiteknight: what is the status of these tasks?<br>
<br>On track:<br>=========<br>* implement pdd14-numbers (rescheduled from 0.9.0) [chromatic,particle]<br>* fix class registry (hll), fully qualified namespace path (rescheduled from 0.9.0) [chromatic]<br>* todo/skip test review [chromatic,particle]<br>
* pdd planning & milestone edits [allison,particle,pmichaud]<br>* pdd28-strings [allison]<br><br>Allison, chromatic, particle, pmichaud: Are these tasks still on track?<br><br></span><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'courier new', monospace;">Lurkers: You can help too!</span></div>
<div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'courier new', monospace;">==========================<br>As you may have noticed, most tasks are assigned to (or taken by) a small number of people (notably Allison, chromatic, particle, pmichaud, Whiteknight, Tene). However, if you would like to help, you are more than welcome to do so; running tests is the easiest way of helping, going through the old bug tracker queue (<a href="http://rt.perl.org">rt.perl.org</a>) to see what tickets can be closed is always helpful. If you feel you can spare more time, feel free to ask anyone on IRC: #parrot on <a href="http://irc.perl.org">irc.perl.org</a>.</span><div>
