From Croquet Consortium

Present: Darius Clarke, Andreas Raab, David Smith, Mark McCahill, Howard Stearns, Bert Freudenberg

1.) Andreas asked about the location for the hedgehog source code repository.

Mark said we can easily leave the repositories where they are for on a University of Minnesota server - if we need to move them we will get plenty of notice

Mark will get the DNS name source.opencroquet.org registered and we will put the repository for the next release of croquet at that DNS name. This suggests we start hosting persistent services (like source code) on servers with .opencroquet.org names so we can easily change which institutions are hosting the servers. Mark will report back on setting up a new repository/name in two weeks - the intent is to get the repository for the new release running by then.

Any fixes to the current SDK 1.0 hedgehog release should go into the current repository

The name for the next release will be Jabberwocky

2.) David Smith will produce a draft roadmap in the next week for comment, then use the next technical conference call to update the larger community on the roadmap and solicit community input.

3.) Mark McCahill mentioned that people should look at the story about Croquet at Mark Wallace's 3pointd.com blog

http://www.3pointd.com/20070405/teledildonics-coming-to-croquet/

and the entries at about "The Naughtyizing of Croquet" at slashdong.org

We should also track how qdot is doing with interfacing personal analog interface devices to Croquet since this will be a good way to see what sorts of issues there are for someone who is learning the system

Howard said he had written to Mark Wallace about the KidsFirst project - anyone else who has a project should also let Mark Wallance know
