[dev] Horde 3.2 Alpha Releases: Status and call for help/participation

[Chuck Hagenbuch]

Horde Community:

We would like to release the first alpha of Horde 3.2 and the primary  
release applications (see http://wiki.horde.org/ReleaseManagement)  
this week.

To this end, here are the things that need to happen:

ShowStoppers
------------

We have compiled a list of "show stopping" issues here:
http://wiki.horde.org/ShowStoppersThreeTwo

* We need to do a little bit of work to spec out the listTimeObjects  
feature to support multiple time objects. For example, when you are  
viewing tasks on your calendar, how should we represent the option for  
whether or not to only see tasks with due dates, or future tasks? What  
about the various dates available from Whups tickets? Not all of this  
work needs to be done for the first alphas, but we should have the  
feature speced.

* We need a script to migrate Turba data from the old format (single  
name and address fields) to the new default schema (separate first and  
last name fields, separate fields for pieces of address data). This  
script does not need to be perfect especially at first. A contribution  
of a basic script would be VERY helpful.

* We need to fix a maintenance bug with PHP 4  
(http://bugs.horde.org/ticket/?id=5111)


We also need to know if there is anything missing from this show  
stoppers list!


Release Announcements
---------------------

We need release announcements for the initial release applications  
(Horde 3.2, IMP 4.2, Ingo 1.2, Kronolith 2.2, Mnemo 2.2, Nag 2.2, and  
Turba 2.2).


That's basically it - the release scripts will take care of the rest  
and we'll be on our way to Horde 3.2.

Thanks in advance,
-chuck
