JR to be really cautious and not to-to break but basically were


Theyre trying trying

with or without Java and were building on UNIX and were checking it
building

out on the Mac and making sure everything is as clean as possible

MT and then the other platform would be the windows platform

now Raman he could use


JR Right we also have right
is working on that actually

some help maybe from were thinking Rick or Lloyd or uh to steal some

L1
time to make the and that as clean
studio sure meg flags get

\yi
MT Uh if you could possibly use help there are people who could help you we just 3\

need to do that

OK you need the same kind of


coverage on MAC

JR On Mac we have Gordon going so were in pretty good shape on that

Uh when you guys say UNIX builds do you mean Linux

JR uh were building on Solaris and dont know if well be testing on Linux


actually

yet but the intent is to drop in UNIX build that gets us Linux build

MT This particular change should be fairly OSE independent its removing an existing

code not writing new code thats got Linux problems

Youve got other impact on the Mac project still


pending right Scott so can you tell

Gordon when you go back to Java land to like..

MT Do the mind meld thing with Scott laughter

MI All right and then Jim Roskind you also have the IFC stuff

JR Were not shipping IEC The intent is to scrub out all Java and that includes IFC

unless we have and now Javas not shipping IFC is not shipping Sun Javas

not shipping all that stuff directly

JR what we have to do is change the title from sanitizing to .. distribution...

Right okay So well-well put comment in the bug uh well put was sanitizing

Next two have to switch over couple scripts and put it in our public

development environment so wed all


get
it Uh and then that will marked fixed

Thatll be done today

Thats gonna be today

No That will be in the same place that our development environment is

How do we get that to the net

Thats darn good question

TH Total distribution is very interesting question right now

Michael you did not query on the dial-up products so bugs assigned to me didnt

show up

MT Okay uh there was an error in


my ways and Ill fix that

Is there
any reason that someone wants the lib rage Speak now or for 31 hold

MT This is this query takes longer because were eliminating one of the major lets -j

look at less than 10000/shall we deal

You could have just added dialog instead of subtracting communicator

MI You rule the universe laughter

The good thing is maybe there may be..

Well do you want me to come up and talk to here and see Because think its all 73

you

Garret give you call at home and find out what we can do uh do to get that up

on Wednesday Bye bye

MT Three platforms to land on Everybody else said Ill be done by this afternoon or

tomorrow morning defmitely

Except for those of us waiting for security

Ml Except for that will order mixing expect this week to be order magnitude ten

bugs right and if all were doing is waiting for security would be completely

Page
Netscape Documentary
Tape Michael Toy Meeting

were on track The order is were magnitude hundred


would feel like completely

So thats the we have then-then were


bugs not magnitude ten if only problem

essentially done

Once we get through number of bugs that are show stoppers are..

MT Okay all right well do that

TH PlP2s

Tvfl Were-were attempting to do that now We didnt find any other new ones did

we This is just way too slow Lets do the fast version

have question Dan has the liv jar bug but as far as know liv jar is only used

for Java DO you..

Edits Edits is the soft update man.. and so Ijust


left mail but voice mail but

suspect that we dont need it we have it


stumped out..

MT No we dont care about soft update for 3-3 1..

JR Theres no job the claim was there was third Raman was not able to find
party

the third party in the tree by graph So were psyched for now our plan is going

for check in in fact Im trying to get the


heck away from criminal path and check it

in and let people yell..

MT Hold on am screwing this up

No we have the bugs and we have the liv jars

Oh...am competing with reg and liv jar think am Im sony that was just

test laughter

TH Liv Jar

Im sorry the jury will please disregard the comments

It might have been wrong but it sounded really good Like Im thinking maybe

because of we he said maybe well just pretend it wasnt wrong and maybe we

dont need liv jar mean we dont need liv


jar right7

What is liv jar doing for us right now

Page 10
Netscape Documentary
Tape Michael Toy Meeting

Doesnt it only do the packing and the unpacking of the files

If were through with Java we dont need liv jar

Thats exactly what my point is

The question is do we need stumps because..

Somebody else call it right so could somebody tell me whether we need stubs for

the damn thing

nominate you

Hes saying that Java script..

Java scrip uses jar you can build jars now in the clients they just read Java script

and images dont know whether we need that capacity in 331 but it is used

believe in areas other than Java

OK so do we have any issues that include Java other than the Sun issue right

cause we own the code Right so we should probably include it mean if its not

lot of effort its part of the normal distribution..

Its name affiliation with me is strictly coincidental laughter

Oh sure

So therefore it is still an issue for Dan to Sanitize it

Yes continue what youre doing

That was lot of work to find that out

And the important thing is it took lot of work for us to do that

And not just lot of us lot of really smart us

Yeah How can we get this band width thing solved

break

Were still at 103

MT Yeah order of magnitude 70 theres about 30 of these P3s

TH OK

Page 11
Netscape Documentary
Tape Michael Toy Meeting

MT Well little over 30..

POs Jeffs
OK what are the just

P3 then an emergency right now


MT If its aPi or P2...if it snot its

of
we went to the trouble categorizing
What Im asking is general question if

have P0 P1 and P2 reflects real


P3s and we think that what we as
something as

priorities

above P3 and below P3


MT Oh no theres just two universes

then
and what was the reasoning we used to set the priorities
laughter

later
become meaningful
MT To leave room for that for those to

smart people in
summarize where we that we can get the
MT All right lets just
are so

for the people who


real work All right everybody except
this room back to the

who are landing the Java car pool from


Jeff Weinstein and the people
are waiting on

the netherworid believe that they will be done by tomorrow morning..

by today or tomorrow

OK you got the head of the class and talk to Michael

OK whats the ETA on Ramero because have to talk to him abut that other

stuff ..when he comes in..

How do you forward your number

MT have no idea

Its phone who knows how to use phone

You go there and you press the forward button and you punch in the new number

and you probably press the forward button again

will do that for


you Michael

Ml Weinstein Weinsteins bugs are when check in will close them all

the list and..

dont see any e-mail notification in 3-D anywhere you know like in Ransom

Tape Michael Toy Meeting

MT Tell him to pause Im looking at that one right now Im trying to decide

What other snap judgments bit you in the ass like that one last week

Is related links in the source right now or is it just in the 4.05 thing

Aurora is in the source now but related links is not is the

Is not in the

At issue is that weve got code in there that deals with that server right ooo Ill

have Gooha about that me


to talk to
Somebody file bug and assign it to

MT Whats the bug

It is do we have any like uh legal issues with related with...whats the

company..

MT the data lives on our server..

So Terrys universe is dont ship mail and news today and ship useful mail and

news later and get permission to do that

For now it looks just as good there as it does here laughs

So Terry dont Ijust dont think politically thats going to be possible

Why

MT Because the body to do that work doesnt exist to do the two weeks worth of

work doesnt exist The body to do one days worth of work could easily exist

but the body to do two weeks worth of work doesnt exist
