Team Management Changes

As we move closer to the final release of MP 1.1.0, and start to gear up for MP2, we have been discussing what is required for the Team to manage the transition. 

As a result we have created new Group Managers for our Test Group and for MP 1 development  

New Test Group Manager

Mark (elliottmc) will take over my position as Test Group Manager.

By doing that, we ensure to have one dedicated team member taking care about our Quality Assurance, while I will have more time to take care about the background management tasks.

New MediaPortal 1 Development Managers

As more developers switch to MediaPortal 2 Development, we want to keep MediaPortal 1 alive.

There are many pending patches from the community which we could not include in 1.1.0 because of the feature freeze.

After the 1.1.0 final release, Arion (arion_p) and Simone (Chemelli) will oversee the further development of MediaPortal 1 as MP1 Development Managers.

They will ensure that MP1 development stays organized, and that those patches provided by the community get added to the application.

Please understand that we do not plan to do any more radical or big changes to MP1.

Further releases are meant to be maintenance releases, to be used until MP2 reaches a state where it can replace MP1.
