[Bf-committers] Blender.org news update

[Tom M]

Hi Joe,

did you see last weeks meeting minutes?

[QUOTE])Meeting minutes for external sites
Tom Musgrove wanted to know whether it would be acceptable to have the
meeting minutes sent to Linux Weekly News.  Ton suggested that
'Development Digests' like those that were done on a monthly basis by
Nathan Letwory would be more appropriate. Tom volunteered to do start
doing the development digests.[/QUOTE]

Apparently great minds think alike.

There are four main areas I'm gathering information from - the blender
wiki (contains most of the prominent projects), the elysiun python and
plugin forums (quite a few scripts are announced there that aren't
mentioned elsewhere), the blender developer forums (not much announced
there), and the mailing lists.

Not sure, as mentioned in the meeting minutes I'd planned to structure
them after Nathans - and his digests included things that were not in
the official tree so it would probably be okay, but good idea to ask.

lukep is doing the dependency graph work.  The animation refactor has
been retargeted to the next release (was in the meeting minutes of
four or so weeks ago).

If you like I can send you a list of what I have already and we can
work on it together if you like, I'd planned to have it ready for the
next meeting.
