Progress is not fast enough. We need more people to join in! + +*Website backend progress:* + No report yet, welterde could not attend the meeting. + +*Location for development discussion:* + Most people agree that IRC is not an ideal location to post long-winded development discussions, it's too volatile, not backed up and not everyone can read it. **All developers are advised to post their discussions (or a writeup) to another medium, like zzz.i2p, mailing lists or forum.i2p**. + Opinions on the alternatives are a bit more divided. zzz.i2p is currently the location for most discussions, but a number of people also like the idea of a mailing list. No decision has been made on which alternative would be best suited. + +*Task appointing and disagreements:* + Currently, people appoint themselves to a task by editing the team.html page (this requires monotone access, so there is at least a level of trust implied before being allowed to appoint yourself). + However, what happens if people disagree? + + The discussion pointed out that when disagreeing, a discussion should be held (for example on zzz.i2p). If that doesn't resolve the issue, a vote is a possibility, or the Project Manager (zzz) or repository maintainers (welterde, eche|on) can make a decision. + +*Status updates:* + Status updates will be started next weekend. They will mostly consist of a 'what work did you do last week?' and 'what work will you do next week?'. + +*Development conferences:* + Nothing big was mentioned. + +*Promoting the usage of the bittorrent protocol inside I2P: pros and cons:* + Filesharing in general and bittorrent more specifically can be either good or bad for I2P. + On one hand, they could give I2P a bad reputation. On the other hand, they could boost I2P popularity. + What to do? + + Filesharing on I2P will not be promoted specifically. Instead, general usability should be looked at and improved. + If people decide to use filesharing on I2P (or any other service, like e-mail or browsing), it should become easier as a result of improving the usability. + +Full IRC Log +------------
