Whiteboard
2008-05-27 bryce: Discussions were conducted at UDS. Other specs will cover the projects that were decided on. Noteworthy decisions include:
* We do not anticipate xserver 1.6 to be delivered in time for Intrepid, so we will focus on having xserver 1.5 in Intrepid.
* xserver 1.5 is currently pending release of mesa 7.1, which it depends on
* Upstream is developing two memory managers - TTM and GEM. We will wait to see which one is taken upstream, and pull that into Intrepid if there is time.
* input-hotplug will be a major focus (see separate spec)
* l-r-m will be broken up into individual drivers (see separate spec)
* x-testing-
* For Hardy we focused on -intel bugs; for Intrepid -ati will be the prime focus, with the goal of getting it to <100 bug reports
* We have over 1600 Xorg bugs presently. Reducing this to <1000 is a stretch goal for Intrepid
