 This page acts as a status whiteboard for the Haiku R1 alpha 1 release. It should contain a list of tasks that need to be completed.
 
-== Discussion 7th of August ==
+== Alpha 1 proposals ==
 
-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:
+There was a discussion, then followed a vote, and now we have a list of proposals for alpha 1. Below is the final list of accepted proposals.
 
-{{{
-The aim of this thread should be to compile a complete list of things
-we want to have in the first alpha release, be it feature or software.
-}}}
-
-'''Update:''' there is a page with [http://dev.haiku-os.org/wiki/R1/Alpha1Proposals all the proposals].
-
-=== Features ===
- * [http://www.freelists.org/archives/haiku-development/08-2008/msg00080.html BGA]: 
-{{{
-Speaking in general terms, the important thing, even for an alpha, is 
-that we have no know bug that can cause data corruption. As long as 
-we reach a point where we are reasonably certain that this is the case, 
-everything else can be attributed to it being an alpha. :)
-}}}
- * What about calling it DR1? [http://www.freelists.org/archives/haiku-development/08-2008/msg00118.html Fredrik Modeen])
- * Welcome package
-   * Initial idea: ([http://www.freelists.org/archives/haiku-development/08-2008/msg00120.html Zenja Solaja])
-{{{
-Even though the Alpha is primarily intended for developers (and should
-probably be called Developer Alpha to avoid confusion), there will be a
-lot of hobbyists who will like to try Haiku after hearing about it in the press.
- Even if they're fortunate enough to have 100% supported hardware, they
-will stare at an empty desktop and say "OK, now what?" 
-}}}
-   * User Guide
-   * Links on the desktop
- * GCC 2/4 hybrid ([http://www.freelists.org/archives/haiku-development/08-2008/msg00127.html Donn Cave])
-{{{
-I don't know where your plans for gcc4 are at this point, but I personally
-am keenly interested in the rumored gcc2+gcc4 variant, whether in the
-alpha distribution itself or as a build from source option.  So I'm
-hopefully reminding that self-hosted gcc-4 will want to be part of the
-package, too.
-}}}
-
-=== Software ===
- * [http://www.freelists.org/archives/haiku-development/08-2008/msg00080.html BGA]: 
-{{{
-Whatever we decide to include, it should be as complete and integrated as
-possible. For example, fixing Firefox drag & drop would be great. Also I
-am more in favor of native applications than ports, but there are cases
-where ports will be required
-}}}
-
- * Development tools (including subversion).
-   * Currently: gcc 2.95.3, autoconf-2.61, automake-1.10.1, bison-2.3, flex-2.5.35, jam, libtool-1.5.26, texinfo-4.11 and Perl 5.10 ([http://www.freelists.org/archives/haiku-development/08-2008/msg00115.html Rene Gollent])
- * Firefox
- * OSS ([http://www.freelists.org/archives/haiku-development/08-2008/msg00083.html Salvatore Benedetto])
- * BePDF ([http://www.freelists.org/archives/haiku-development/08-2008/msg00094.html Michael Lotz])
- * [http://www.freelists.org/archives/haiku-development/08-2008/msg00097.html julun]:
-{{{
-Are we allowed to ship the original BeBook as we have it on haiku-os.org?
-}}}
- * [http://www.freelists.org/archives/haiku-development/08-2008/msg00105.html Stephan Assmus]:
-{{{
-Personally, I'd love to see a few more media applications (sound), but I
-would also be ok with reducing it to just development related apps. I don't
-know how you guys feel about WonderBrush in that case. Hopefully this
-doesn't come across the wrong way, but maybe it is good to include a few
-more bigger apps besides just Firefox to show the system can support them.
-I'd be willing to provide an unlocked Haiku only version of WonderBrush.

- * Webkit ([http://www.freelists.org/archives/haiku-development/08-2008/msg00113.html Ralf Schulke])
- * Vision ([http://www.freelists.org/archives/haiku-development/08-2008/msg00113.html Ralf Schulke])

- * [http://www.freelists.org/archives/haiku-development/08-2008/msg00087.html BGA]
-{{{
-Sorry, but an updater is *ESSENTIAL*. Even if not fancy. By updater I mean a
-way for the user to easily check if there are fixes and to apply then without
-losing data or having to completely reinstall the system.
