Then you can consider coming back when you have capacity? 19:10:24 popey: I've got someone coming out to look at my A/C, so I'll be on and off for a while 19:10:45 larsgk: family definitely comes first, hope he gets feeling better 19:11:12 mhall119: ok. I am looking at your latest blog post in the rss reader ☺ 19:11:43 I like it 19:11:59 are we using any of the designs submitted to balsamiq? 19:12:08 larsgk: dragly: ^ either of you know? 19:12:27 don't know 19:12:46 popey: about replacement: could be nice for now, if possible 19:12:54 I like the current implementation, except the split display of the content, it's too small even on my Nexus 7 19:12:54 yes mhall119 19:13:08 https://ubuntu.mybalsamiq.com/projects/ubuntuphonecoreapps/RSS_reader_step1.1 19:13:56 ok, I will put the call out. thanks for letting us know, and I hope everything works out. 19:14:05 mhall119, popey: and thanks for the concern 19:14:09 #action popey look for new developers for RSS reader 19:14:09 * meetingology popey look for new developers for RSS reader 19:15:11 was there anything else you wanted to discuss larsgk ? 19:15:14 popey: I'd like to still be in the loop though - and I ordered some devices to do tests on 19:15:48 ok. you can keep an eye on the meeting records at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Touch/CoreApps/Meetings 19:15:49 * mhall119 might take a couple evenings to hack on the rss reader 19:16:00 popey: well Roman seems to have produced very well - any idea on how many features are missing for the first alpha? 19:16:04 it does look similar to the reddit reader you made mhall119 19:16:16 yeah, might be able to re-use some stuff 19:16:23 * mhall119 has to sign the CLA... 19:16:31 hah 19:16:50 larsgk: I'm not sure without some more testing.. 19:17:01 we are looking to get as many of the apps that are functional, baked into the daily image as soon as possible 19:17:12 this will give us more visibility, testing (and bug reports) 19:17:17 true 19:17:31 I agree with mhall119 about the split reading view 19:17:48 I'd rather have the whole screen dedicated to the content when i click on an article 19:19:47 btw - a webkit reviewer/rss fanatic I know moved from Google Reader to http://www.feedly.com/ - and seem surprisingly pleased with how that works. 19:19:48 popey: can we make a work item to put the content in a separate Page? 19:20:02 I'll take it if I have a free evening 19:20:12 ok. will add it 19:20:23 thanks 19:20:39 target it for month-1 milestone, that should give us time 19:21:31 done 19:22:22 gosh that feedly is nice 19:22:27 very visually appealing 19:22:40 popey: yes 19:23:02 and my friend LIVES in RSS feeds.. when not hacking webkit 19:23:27 maybe later on we can look into supporting web service backends like that 19:23:38 yeah 19:23:49 for now I'm happy just throwing rss feeds at the app and viewing individual articles 19:23:55 I think that's sufficient for an alpha release 19:24:35 yeah 19:25:41 larsgk: am I right in saying the two items in https://blueprints.launchpad.net/ubuntu-phone-commons/+spec/initial-rssreader-development month 0 are now "IN PROGRESS"? rather than TODO? 19:26:12 popey: yes - but I think it makes more sense to build new stuff on Romans commits 19:26:25 ok 19:27:00 popey: it's very few files we will end up with - no need to polute with different strategies so early in the process 19:27:12 ok 19:28:18 I can remove my name from them (or you can) - but please don't take me out of the loop. I can review, test and more still 19:29:39 ok, great, thanks 19:29:52 lets wrap up in time for the next meeting. all the best larsgk 19:30:09 #endmeeting
