    3 On the the 7th of August, Axel Dörfler started a discussion on the things to do in the thread [http://www.freelists.org/archives/haiku-development/08-2008/msg00079.html Haiku R1/alpha decisions]. Here's a summary of that discussion. Axel called for:
     3Voting is now open.

    55{{{
    6 The aim of this thread should be to compile a complete list of things
    7 we want to have in the first alpha release, be it feature or software.

    10  * This page lists concrete proposals that came out of that discussion.
    11  * Every item should have an adopter. This person is responsible for the implementation (which of course does not mean he/she has to do it themselves).
    12  * This page is open for editing for all users that are in the '''developers''' group. Feel free to register as adopter, tweak your adopted proposals or add new ones.
    13  * This page will be marked read-only on Sunday at 13:00 GMT.
     12 * This page lists concrete proposals that came out of a discussion.
     13 * All developers, plus people who offered to adopt a task now can vote.
     14
     15About what you are voting for:
     16
     17 * This vote is about '''requirements''' for alpha 1. This means that voting in favor for something means that you want this feature to be absolutely for sure in the alpha. So for example, if you vote in favor for # 9 (fully integrate IO scheduler), you actually say that you want the release blocked until this feature is finished.
     18 * In this same vain, voting against making a proposal mandatory for release, does not mean that in the end this feature will not end up in the release. For example, if the I/O scheduler does not get enough votes to become necessary, but it is finished in time, it might as well end up in the package. Of course, this does not work for bundled software vote.
     19
     20About the voting:
     21
     22 * The voting is not anonymous. Your vote will be registered, and anyone who is logged into Trac, can see your vote.
     23 * Voting starts at Sunday the 14th of September and it will end Monday the 22nd of September at 10:00 (AM) GMT.
     24 * During the period, you may alter your vote.
     25 * Because of technical limitations, you have to click the '''vote''' button for every vote you make. '''You cannot fill out the whole page and then click on one vote-button, you will lose your data.'''
     26 * After the poll closes, the votes will be counted, and published.
     27 * A proposal is accepted with a majority vote. When there is a draw, the proposal will go to the mailing list for discussion, and there will be decided what will happen.

    6795=== Prop # 8: Finish and Include Swap File Support ===
    6896
    … …  
    7199Swap file support is GSoC project. It should be got into a reasonably working state and enabled by default. Without swap file support machines with less than about 800 MB RAM won't be able to build Haiku.

    77107As reported the CD boot is extremely slow. Finishing and fully integrating the I/O scheduler should improve this situation significantly.

    83117=== Prop # 11: Recruit release manager ===
    84118
    … …  
    87121The release manager should be responsible for the creation and maintenance of the R1/Alpha1 branch. That might also mean identifying changesets against trunk that should be applied or even ported to the branch once it is set up.
    88122
     123This person differs from proposition # 6, as in that this ''manager'' is a developer maintaining the actual code part of the release, and the release coordinator performs the marketing, mirrors and other logistics behind the release.

    92130
    93131There are still some pending issues with our "ide" bus manager. The "ata" bus manager seems to work better, but a) takes a long time to boot, and b) does not yet implement DMA. We should either fix "ide", or complete "ata" for the alpha.
