[Phylobase-devl] Aug. virtual hackathon

[Peter Cowan]

If I gather correctly, most folks are available after the 13th and  
before the 24th, except for Thibaut who is currently far away from a  
computer.

What days in that period work best?  Last time did we schedule it over  
a weekend, or did it just feel like that because I was traveling?  I  
prefer it not be a weekend, but can do it if need be.  Proposals for a  
specific starting day and duration welcome.

Before, we actually start coding, it's probably worthwhile having at  
least some discussion about the changes that Francois has made, and  
any other major changes people would like.  It would also be good to  
get the RUnit stuff checked in (if I can help at all with that let me  
know Jim) so that we can make a good dent in writing unit tests (which  
will make any future changes much easier to carry out).

Cheers

Peter
