Charlie discussed the builds we are producing for EPF Composer. Integration builds should not be used for any production use, including EPF content developers. These builds are intended for testing by the community. Milestone builds will be stable for EPF content developers and anyone else. Test automation is currently under development.

Milestone 2 for the 1.0 plan will be complete on or around 15 April 2006. Many new features have been merged into the source code, including support for export to Microsoft Project. Two integration builds have been posted to the download page for testing. Testing integration builds by community members will be greatly appreciated.

Peter presented new potential features for the upcoming tool milestones. Included in the discussion was deep copy and process contributions. See the Raindance recording for an audio/visual presentation.

  1. Enter new EPF Composer features into Bugzilla and begin community voting (Peter H)
  2. Comment on Peter's vision document, available from this page (Everyone)
  3. Headless build, packaging and posting of EPF Composer after 1.0-M2 (Jim T, Jao T)
