[Ton Roosendaal]

Hi all,

1) Current projects

- Reminder: check module owner page to update status:
http://wiki.blender.org/index.php/User:DingTo/ModuleOwners-New

- Martin progresses well on his network render script. He needs OSX  
help though, making the .app with scons might not work.

- Benoit gives update on the logic editor project.
http://wiki.blender.org/index.php/Dev:Source/GameEngine/NodalLogic
He used zlib license on the logic handling module itself, for future  
re-use. The module will handle execution and evaluation, the Blender  
node system itself will be used for node tree editing and storage.
For that some extensions on Blender's nodes are still needed though,  
like other socket placement rules and (hierarchical) grouping/ 
collapsing or other ideas for more pleasant editing of complex setups.

2) Blender 2.5

- Brecht, Campbell and Ton sat down an afternoon to go over the target  
list for the next release. Notes for this are still in pencil and  
draft, will be posted here later. Most of this is common and known  
stuff.

- Ton mentions he would prefer a more strict usage of the official  
property and operator names in the panels. At least for the official  
release, a full consistant and naming will help searching properties  
and tools in the UI and in Wiki a lot, it helps translating the UI,  
and people writing books, and so on.
Topic needs some design to check on how to tackle drawbacks (like  
duplicate names) best.

Laters,

-Ton-
