Releases 2.4-beta
-----------------
Beta on SF, download page changes and lots more plugins
Missing feedback for 2.4.x
Q: Graduation for CSW?
A: Getting close, last bit of work on internal store
Q: In time for 2.4 release? It would be nice to have a headine feature
A: Ask Niels when he gets back
Q: WCS 2.0?
A: Also close! Note and WCS 2.0 Earth Observation Extension Service / User Interface
Notes:
- Above are only community modules so they can sneak in
- CSW ready for extension? Hesitation as we have not seen it used in anger
- CSW has some tutorials etc.. (http://docs.geoserver.org/latest/en/user/community/csw/index.html)
- request sanity check on the above
- lovely use of en_GB "Catalogue" but this differs from en_US "Catalog"
Glitches:
- geopkg, headers, jody wrote blog posts etc...
- app-schema "complex GML client library" changes? Ben is trying to finding out what happened ... try and ask Niels / Gabriel what happened

Release 2.3.4
-------------
Ian prepared test artifact, asks people to download and test.
Policy on stale pull requests
-----------------------------
Proposal: Link to pull request from JIRA, and close the pull request as incomplete.
Action:
- Andrea will close a few pull requests that are stalled out (ie no test)
- terminate with extreme prejudice 
- Update the developers guide? Or just do it ...
