12:01 <popey> how are you today?
12:01 <JoeyChan> good
12:02 <JoeyChan> how about u
12:02 <popey> great, madly busy, but great! :D
12:03 <JoeyChan> yep  I heard that RTM is ready to go
12:04 <popey> yeah, time is ticking away
12:05 <JoeyChan> will RTM available in flash channels ?
12:05 <popey> there will be a branch for rtm next week i think
12:05 <JoeyChan> or only for MEIZU & BQ
12:06 <popey> We'll carry on using nexus 4 beyond that though
12:06 <popey> and still keep landing things.
12:06 <popey> I suspect some fixes will be cherry-picked for rtm
12:06 <JoeyChan> i c
12:07 <JoeyChan> there r some new features of Shorts I want to talk about
12:08 <JoeyChan> first is opml,  u knew that
12:08 <JoeyChan> parsing and content hub are done
12:08 <JoeyChan> now I am dealing with the UI
12:09 <JoeyChan> second is   upgrading to new header
12:09 <JoeyChan> Roman is working on it
12:10 <popey> Ok.
12:10 <popey> Do you know how far he's got with top header?
12:11 <JoeyChan> just started
12:11 <JoeyChan> not much
12:11 <popey> I think the opml / content-hub should wait till after rtm.
12:11 <popey> ok.
12:12 <JoeyChan> and  the third, is a new feature we never talk about
12:12 <JoeyChan> intregrate with the download manager
12:13 <popey> For downloading what?
12:13 <JoeyChan> in some articles, they have lots big images
12:14 <popey> ah
12:15 <JoeyChan> but there's problem, we don't know how to put the downloaded images to the Picture folder
12:15 <JoeyChan> so that the users can view those images via Gallery
12:16 <popey> do the articles not have thumbnails?
12:17 <popey> I'm not sure I understand why they need to be downloaded separately
12:17 <JoeyChan> we don't have any thumbnails functions for articles
12:18 <JoeyChan> qml doesn't have any abilities for downloading binary files
12:19 <popey> hm, okay, would another approach be to render the article in an oxide (browser) container?
12:21 <JoeyChan> Well ... webkit isn't a light-weight element .......
12:21 <JoeyChan> will take much memory and CPU resource
12:25 <popey> so do you have an example of articles which are problematic?
12:26 <JoeyChan> Actually,   arcitles work well  so far
12:26 <JoeyChan> we just want to add a simple new feature to it
12:28 <popey> Part of me thinks this should go along with the app redesign.
12:29 <popey> Perhaps post-rtm we should have a concerted effort to get people invoved in a design reboot?
12:29 <JoeyChan> design reboot?
12:29 <JoeyChan> like the clock-app ?
12:31 <popey> yes
12:31 <JoeyChan> wow
12:31 <popey> I know the design team are looking at some of the core apps, but they don't have time to cover all of them.
12:31 <popey> So perhaps we can try and get people in the community to help
12:32 <JoeyChan> Sounds diffcult ...
12:32 <JoeyChan> We got Vky last month ,  but      u know
12:32 <popey> Ok, let me speak to our design team and see if we can get some help.
12:33 <popey> yeah
12:33 <popey> Leave it with me, I'll speak to the design team early next week and drop you a mail.
12:33 <JoeyChan> Cool   :D
12:34 <popey> Other than that I think we should just focus on any bug reports that come in for now.
12:35 <JoeyChan> Understood
12:35 <popey> Can you follow up with Roman on the header?
12:35 <JoeyChan> no problem
12:35 <popey> See if there's any blockage, or if he needs anything?
12:36 <popey> sweet!
12:36 <popey> ok, lets wrap and I'll get back to you next week about design.
12:36 <popey> Unless there's anything else?
12:37 <JoeyChan> nope
12:37 <JoeyChan> so far so good
12:38 <popey> Ok, have a great weekend!
12:38 <JoeyChan> u 2  :)
