Meeting notes:
Status: a lot of abandoned branches were deleted by Sébastien (the production-ready ones were merged into 1.x, e.g. Redis cache), 1.8.x is merged into 1.x.
Sipke modified the AuditTrail module according to the discussion last week and renamed the "Rollback" feature to "Restore". The "Recycle Bin" was also added enabling users to restore deleted content items. Permanent delete feature was also added that removes the content data too, but it's a bit controversial.
Demo by Benedek: DotNest tenants can now run using different language packages (other than American English): French, Italian, Russian, Simplified Chinese, Spanish and Hungarian. Kudos to the localization contributors!
Adrian fixed markup and embedding in a lot of places in the Orchard Documentation.
Discussion topic by Sébastien - future of data access: we've enumerated the current ways of getting data out of the DB (pros and cons). There are a few problems with NHibenate that should be addressed. Content Manager API could give abstraction points for direct SQL-query snippets for performance gain. The usage of a micro-ORM is also a possibility (like in the case of Umbraco with PetaPoco). Discussion to be continued on the forums!
