Currently no fix naming theme, but it is possible to have a display name beside the filename (10:15:43) lgodard: the display name is localizable ? (10:16:30) mdamboldt: Currently the Extension Manager simply displays the filename (10:16:52) mdamboldt: For the future we plan to have a Description of the Extension to be diplayed (10:17:11) lgodard: mdamboldt: yes for the description, but optionally and localized (10:17:21) mdamboldt: We planthat this description can be localized.

(10:33:17) mdamboldt: but like to point to a page with much mire details where the binary is hosted (10:33:30) slopez: I'll be back in the aftrenoon when I'll start working on the things ;) (10:33:39) slopez: ++ (10:33:56) mdamboldt: Question is if those external binaries can be put into the update feed, too (10:34:39) SunNF: Now talking about 1_2007-8-23: find out whether ClamAV is available for the platform our extension site server is running on (10:34:50) lgodard: mdamboldt: depend on the trustability of author (10:35:48) SunNF: Idea is to implement a hook when uploading a new extension to be able to do a check at that point in time (10:36:59) SunNF: Martin is waiting for feedbak who is able to work on this (10:37:53) SunNF: As long as this feature is not available, the files will be checked within the file system (10:38:41) SunNF: Now talking about 3_2007-8-23: provide Action plan for Localization Framework (10:38:54) lgodard: SunNF: ok i report this AI for slopez (10:39:01) SunNF: Thorsten is in contact with Simon to set up a environment to work on this (10:39:05) lgodard: - drupal fremawork installed on his server (10:39:11) lgodard: - site installed and running (10:39:18) lgodard: - documented on drupal framework (10:39:25) lgodard: - starts coding experiences this afternoono (10:39:33) lgodard: - will send a complete report before end of teh week (10:39:51) lgodard: - might be more active on the chan, so do not hesitate looking at what he's saying (10:40:00) lgodard: - he will also communicate on ML (10:40:14) lgodard: so the AI is in Progress (10:40:44) SunNF: lgodard: Thanks, will be reflected to the minutes (10:41:08) lgodard: may be put one other AI for "Prototype for translation" (10:41:57) SunNF: who will own this? (10:42:20) lgodard: SunNF: slopez as it this the normal continuatino (10:42:33) lgodard: of its previous AI (10:42:44) lgodard: its/his (10:45:36) SunNF: We should follow up on this on the list, e.g. to collect requirements etc. Juergen will trigger this. (10:45:57) lgodard: yep (10:48:14) SunNF: In the meanwhile, we walked through the open issues list. Status will be within the minutes. (10:49:17) lgodard: did you read the mail from Leonard Mada regarding UI (10:49:28) lgodard: popsted on, ML the 28/08 (10:50:14) SunNF: Yes, but feedback is pending.

(10:57:20) lgodard: In the meanwhile, we walked through the open issues list. Status will be within the minutes. --> no way to have a small description here ? (10:57:36) SunNF: discussing about when we like to go live - we will have the "get more extensions ..." button in 2.3, so this will be a good date (10:59:28) lgodard: does the button send any language code ? (10:59:40) mdamboldt: no (10:59:43) lgodard: so that the the translation part can be de-coupled (10:59:58) lgodard: mdamboldt: i think this will be a must have (11:00:08) SunNF: good point! (11:00:48) lgodard: what information are actually sent by the get more extension button ? (11:02:11) SunNF: As far as i know, its simply a link to the site (11:03:44) lgodard: problematic point as it may be seen as a "call home" feature. OTH, could be helpfull to send some basic informations (11:04:19) lgodard: should be extensivelly discussed outside the extensions project (11:05:12) lgodard: AI proposal : post a call for comments on ML (user experience, native-lang, ooo dev, extensions) ? (11:05:39) SunNF: hey, it is just a http url?! (11:06:11) mdamboldt: lgodard: Discuss opening a http URL in a browser??? - Not with me! (11:06:36) lgodard: hum (11:06:43) lgodard: may be i misunderstood (11:07:20) lgodard: how would you transmit the language code ? by appendig to the URL  ? (11:08:36) mdamboldt: As said there is no language code right now (11:08:53) mdamboldt: We simply open one url language independent in a browser (11:08:56) lgodard: and as said, there should be one (11:09:09) lgodard: the url then should be localized (11:09:20) mdamboldt: Probalby the default browser langauge will sometime define which language will be shown!??! (11:09:21) lgodard: or forged from OOo UI language code (11:09:32) lgodard: mdamboldt: no (11:09:53) lgodard: browser language != OOo language (11:09:59) mdamboldt: lgodard: How do you know? (11:10:41) lgodard: mdamboldt: that is the point, we do not know (11:15:15) mdamboldt: discussing again when to remove disclaimerfrom site and the test extensions (11:22:53) SunNF: we should remove the disclaimer and clean up the repository until 2.3 latest after we asked for more feedback and testing on the list. (11:25:40) SunNF: We should use issue tracker for feedback (extensions,www) (11:26:38) SunNF: more? (11:27:32) mdamboldt: ok, so talk to you next week latest
