1. Feature Requests for Istanbul Release

• Desired outcome: Discuss and decide on pending feature request that need attention
• See TWikiFeatureProposals

• SiteStatisticsPage - PTh finished implementation
  • The statistics script now contacts twiki.org to get the number of plugins available for the currently installed twiki release. That will go into the report on a monthly basis, for example: plugins: 26 of 195. As part of that request it also sends anonymized usage statistics to twiki.org. There is an opt out option in configure by setting {Stats}{DontContactTWikiOrg}.
    • Consensus that is OK because of 1. disclosure, 2. anonymized report, 3. option to opt out
    • Idea to make aggregated stats available, such as average usage stats for sites with 5-20 users, 21-50 users, 100-500, 501-1000, 1000+ or the like.
• RollbackAttachmentVersion - Peter Jones is making progress
• ReadOnlySkinMode - PTh will work on this next
• BackupRestoreUtility - PTh will work on this next (critical for 5.1 release)
• CombineJumpBoxAndSearchBox - PTh will work on this as time permits

• Some plugin activity:
  • Updated: WeatherPlugin, XmlQueryPlugin
  • New: UsageStatisticsPlugin - show detailed usage statistics by user

2. Review Urgent and Not So Urgent Bugs

• Desired outcome: Identify must fixes
• See TWikibug:ReleaseBlocker

• TWikibug:Item6688: Format issue in generated TWikiFuncDotPm on TWiki-5.0.2-rc1 - should be fixed for 5.0.2 release - PTh to investigate

3. TWiki-5.0.2 Release Coordination
