Participants:
  * Laurent Claude (Project Leader)
  * Matthieu Hazon (Developer)

Agenda:
  * Development status
  * Project management

===== Minutes =====


==== Development status ====


  * Matthieu: Documentation, code refactoring and comments are in progress.
  * Laurent: Evaluation of speech synthesizers in progress:
    * For now, we have at least one solution which consists of using eSpeak as the speech engine and ship Mail2Voice with non-free MBrola voice which guarantees better results. Of course, we will have to be really clear on the fact that a non-free software is embedded along with Mail2Voice but the MBrola license allow that for non commercial use and it will remain optional.

** Reminder for developers: please use the BugTracker as much as possible. **

Following roadmap still applies:

  * More comments (!)
  * Code refactoring (estimated 2 weeks)
  * Code documentation, will be published on the wiki. (estimated 1 week)
  * Implementation of the missing features (estimated 1 month)
  * Evaluation of speech synthesizers.
  * Integration of an ** (easy to understand) speech synthesizer ** (estimation 1 week ??)
  * Fix the localisation ¨+ Review and fix translations (estimated 1 week)
  * Replace proprietary 3rd party libraries (estimated 1 week)
  * Port to linux (+packaging) (estimated 1 week)

==== Project Management ====

  * We have a new contributor, welcome Diana Ibanescu! She wants to develop for Mail2Voice.
  * Matthieu proposed to plan regular coding sessions with Diana. This should allow for more productive code on short time period and to help each other for a better understanding of the project and goals.
