    I have a small comment about wiki usage – I think, technically, the "children" of this page should listed as:

    OS X and Linux problems (Fall 07 Agenda)
    Error Handling and Infrastructure (Fall 07 Agenda)
    Widget Registration (Fall 07 Agenda)
    In-editor widget help docs (Fall 07 Agenda)

    Rather than the same with (Fall 2007) as the default directory in parens.

    It is a subtle thing and probably not all that important for this exercise but it contributes to bread crumbs in the wiki do not work as expected which, in turn, may contribute to confusion by users.

    Of course it could be that this wiki does not work the way another wiki I used in the past di and that this is the only way to do it.

    while working on implementing the help window, I saw the options tab in fluency editor which does nothing. When I looked at the code, it seems that they tried implementing a "Tool Options " kind of thing which did not make it into the main fluency application. I know this is something which is not a part of the work in this week, but options window has related classes which are never even referenced anywhere in Fluency's code. A little modification I did was to the code because I think that the help will work in the same way as the options window.

    I figured out what had previously confused me – the "Fall 07 Agenda" page did not have a Parent Page set and, as a result, the bread crumb was sometimes incorrect.

    Also, you could not previously find the link to "Fall 07 Agenda" on the fall 2007 Home page.

    General Comment:
    Should we start a Bug/Defects list?

    I have found some bugs which I think we should track but I don't think they belong on the high level ToDo list.

    Also, Fluency will likely need a bug reporting/tracking process when it goes beta.
