Organizational Meeting Agenda for 2006, May 29

News and Questions

As things stand we have three branches:
- rel_2_2 - stable, old-style MARC-in-SQL
- dev-week - rel_2_2 codebase with Zebra support
- head - new codebase, new features, but buggy, partial Zebra support
- hdl_auth - for some authorities improvements. (based on 2_2)

We need to clarify our expectations about what versions will be released and what they should contain
