able to meet?

Cheers,

Sorry for the delay in responding. I just ran across this in my junk  
folder.

We were able to meet and lots of good things came out of it.

On the design side we made great progress. The page editing interface  
was completely revamped in the new template and some work was begun on  
designing an asset manager (yes you heard that right). Many of the  
other views in the prototype were brought into the new design as well.  
If you are interested in the progress, please take a look at the  
radiant-prototype project on GitHub:

On the development side, a lot of things were done that have brought  
us much closer to the 0.7 release. Maybe Sean or Adam could post an  
update on what was done. I know a bunch of bugs were squashed, tests  
written, extensions brought up to speed, and things were generally  
made a lot more solid, but Sean could give us more of the details.

I guess I’ve delayed long enough, so here’s my report!

In the morning before I arrived, Adam W., Nathaniel T., and  
Rick DeNatale worked on getting the dataset plugin up to speed to be  
used with Radiant, and completed the integration shortly after I got  
there. (Once all the kinks were worked out, we saw a 50% decrease in  
the amount of time to run the model specs. Yay!) Meanwhile, Clinton  
Nixon and Brandan Lennox worked on converting existing extensions in the  
core repository to be compatible with the recent REST refactoring.  
Trent Albright contributed a number of bug fixes and integration specs.

Later on in the day, Nathaniel and Rick paired (tripled?) with me to  
rewrite extension migrations, which now write to the schema\_migrations  
table instead of extension\_meta. Radiant::ExtensionMeta is officially  
gone, and your extensions should be able to properly support timestamped  
migration version numbers. I also officially deprecated  
Admin::AbstractModelController – from now on you should use  
Admin::ResourceController or write one from scratch. Adam combed  
through a bunch of spec code and removed dependencies on the ancient  
test\_helpers – all of the fixtures are gone so you should write your  
own or use the datasets (formerly scenarios). I finished the day by  
working with Brandan to convert extensions over to dataset.

Overall it was very productive, and we got some more people involved in  
the core development. I’m very excited about the upcoming 0.7 release!
