1. Start

    Mr. Brown started the meeting at 16:15 

2. Assessment of the situation

    We're in the middle of coding. We should assess the situation to know how
    to prioritise our coding. The assessment was the primary purpose of the
    meeting.

3. Discussion

    I Assessment and prioritisation    

    Assessment of the situation was done person-by-person and the means was to
    identify:
    A) what the person has been working on
    B) what the person plans to work on next
    C) what the person needs from other persons to be able to proceed

    Jari

    A) XML reader is now ready
    B) 1. To complete the DataView with methods that are still needed
    2. To design how the scenario files are saved. The following stuff
    will be saved, one object per item:
        - AnimationSequence
        - NoteManager
        - GeneralSettings
    C) Jari needs to know what's still missing from DataView


    Jonathan

    A) Miscellaneous improvements with MainFrame
    B) To get the EncPanel started
    C) Help with the Enc stuff


    Jarkko

    A) Working with MainFrame
    B) 1. Manipulating settings objects through MainFrame (from UI)
    2. Handle saving the scenario file from the point of view of MainFrame
    3. Get different dialogs hooked with MainFrame
    4. Make MainFrame actually use the Control Signals Framework
    C) If there are any specific plans about the settings stuff


    Vesa

    A) Coded some parts of MSCPanel (header panel, column data, lines for packets)
    B) 1. Other parts of MSCPanel (area units, dropped packets, field values)
    2. The localisation wrapper class (lower priority than MSC)
    C) Needs test data to be able to actually see the MSC panel in action


    II Other discussion

    The meeting had a lively discussion on different algorithms needed for
    Enc panel, and if the panel should have hard-coded app/trans/net layers or
    if it should be generic. Jonathan thinks he has some fairly comprehensive
    ideas on the layout and contents of the Enc panel, but he needs help
    with implementing the stuff with Swing.



4. Action points
   
   The B part for everyone.
   
5. End

    The official meeting ended at 18:00.
