Drupal 8 Initiatives

Events happening in the community are now at Drupal community events on www.drupal.org.

This group is an announcement list of major discussions and happenings in Drupal 8 initiatives, cross-posted from their dedicated groups and issue queues (listed below). If you only have time to read a single channel of info on Drupal 8, this is the one!

Content is along the lines of:

a) We think a decision has been reached, and here's the decision. Feedback?
b) We're trying to reach a decision, and we need help. Here's where to chime in to help us reach it.
c) General status reports about "Hey, if you've been busy for the past while, here's what's going on and what things you should know."

Unfortunately, this group needs to be kept invite-only in order to keep the content curated to only important announcements of general interest, but you are warmly encouraged to comment and participate on any discussions posted to this group!

Start: 
2012-02-29 17:00 - 18:00 UTC
Organizers: 
Event type: 
Online meeting (eg. IRC meeting)

It is that time again! We'll review current top priority tasks and discuss new ones to work on.

We have a big set of focus issues now due to the sprint on the weekend before last week and we are picking up steam making progress! We have some pretty interesting tasks in the current focus, like introducing language support to all entities (http://drupal.org/node/1454538), providing much more flexible settings on entity language defaults (http://drupal.org/node/258785), track customized interface translations (vs. community provided) (http://drupal.org/node/1445004), and make it possible to edit plural translations inside Drupal (a feature we have been missing forever - http://drupal.org/node/532512). Help and reviews on these issues as well as any other focus issues is welcome!

The meeting is in the #drupal-i18n channel on IRC. See http://drupal.org/irc for more information. The time above is marked with UTC - check in your own timezone.

Report from the Budapest sprint on Drupal 8 Multilingual Initiative issues

We just held a one-day sprint in person in Budapest (sponsored by the NIIF Institute, heavy Drupal users themselves) and over IRC on #drupal-i18n this past weekend to make significant progress on some of the D8MI issues. Given almost all in-person attendees were new to Drupal 8, some new to working on Drupal core, I chose issues which were easier to pick up but great help for D8MI to roll along, as well as asked people to help review existing issues and work on (upgrade) tests. All-in-all, we had the following people in attendance in person: @balagan, @csg, @Desire, @eager, @hairqles, @kalman.hosszu, @pkiraly, @roderik, @tanarurkerem, @zly and myself. In attendance over IRC were @clemens.tolboom, @fubhy, @reyero and @tstoeckler. (Hope I did not leave anybody out).

We made very good progress on the following issues.
