Retrospective

What did we do well?

Medha Parlikar (Unlicensed): We managed to get the release ready and integrated.
Kyle Butt: glad that we had acceptance tests written, and verified that the tests ran fine.
Medha Parlikar (Unlicensed): Former user (Deleted) and Henry Till worked well together to get the tuplespace integrated.
Medha Parlikar (Unlicensed): We exceeded our plans for the release. We can support more than the SDK release. But we can't support the complete Mercury grammar.

What should we have done better?

Medha Parlikar (Unlicensed): Lack of specification for integrating the REPL into the node, Chris's departure resulted in a last minute drop of the work into Pawel's lap.
Medha Parlikar (Unlicensed): Persistence flag was a miss, and Henry had to drop his Storage work to get it done.
- Medha has specified the next release, performing spec and ticket review on Thursday to estimate and set dates.
Kyle Butt: We were missing a task to make the CLI accept file names and not just a REPL. This led to not running the Mercury tutorial tests.

Action Items

@Medha Parlikar (Unlicensed): Review node-0.3 Release Plan with Kyle, Henry and Pawel.

@Kyle Butt: Create a ticket for native processes in the interpreter for the time being. There isn't any way to have system processes in the system. Ambient Authority to print on a public name.
