Since many people were away, the meeting last night was rather 
informal. A few topics were discussed including:

* ideasman's (campbell barton) work on the OOPS Schematic, posted in 
the forums:
It was decided to give him access to tuhopuu to work in there, giving 
the code testing and feedback.

* tooltip patch:
broken hasn't yet had a chance to look at it, promised to do so soon.

* optimisation:
lukep mentioned the idea of replacing glFinish with glFlush to 
supposedly give a performance increase across GFX hardware. Potential 
compatibility problems were noted, lukep will try to test soon.

lukep also mentioned some testing on the float vs double issue, 
reported it give strong speed ups in texture code, but seems to go 
slower in other parts, depending on scenes. Raytracing code is much 
slower, while procedurals are 15% faster. lukep proposes to make a cvs 
patch against bf-blender for platform managers (or whoever wants to) to 
release testing builds with in the test forum. Estimated 2-3 weeks 
before he has something to show.

* madprof's help menu patch:
Not much has changed since last week, still some positive reports and 
some reports of slow delays before opening the browser (possibly due to 
some sort of timeout?) Perhaps more attention should be called to 
testing this feature in the tuhopuu test builds.

* Panels button layout etc:
Work by Weirdhat and blenergetic based on Monkeyboi's proposals is 
noted, however it does not have adequate design, planning and process. 
broken has asked Monkeyboi to step back and prepare an information 
architecture (in text) that can be discussed and turned into a plan to 
allow future growth, which he is currently preparing, rather than 
diving straight into graphical specifics.

lukep also wants to propose some clear layout guidelines (I suggest he 
looks back at the old bf-funboard discussions and forum threads on this 
issue, too).


And that's about it.

Cheers

Matt
