Weekly check in 2013.04.18

• 13:35 <demory> hey all, should we do a quick check-in?
• 13:35 <mattwigway> sounds good!
• 13:36 <demory> i just got back from the American Planning Association conference in Chicago -- presented on mobile technology for transit on monday, including OTP
• 13:37 <demory> pretty good crowd / interest, considering it was a 7:30am session
• 13:37 <demory> will be focused on TriMet OTP work from now until my trip there in May
• 13:38 <demory> currently working on enhanced UI widgets for viewing stop/route details
• 13:40 <mattwigway> I'm working on accessibility analysis with OTP, currently working on implementing bicycle parking support
• 13:40 <FrankX> two bugs submitted to the list that need investigating (and assigned to Andrew, with his approval). https://github.com/openplans/OpenTripPlanner/issues/1043 and https://github.com/openplans/OpenTripPlanner/issues/1044 ... some very strange behavior from these two issues, which make me pause to release a new version of OTP. These are issues sent earlier via Bibi -- they are not walking distance related to path choices (1044
• 13:40 <mattwigway> Also I''m implementing some of the accessibility measures from the literature as batch processor accumulators.
• 13:41 <mattwigway> FrankX, you got cut off after "related to path choices"
• 13:41 <FrankX> ...path choices (1044) and snapping issues (1043).
• 13:42 <mattwigway> is abyrd going to be on today?
• 13:42 <demory> FrankX, thanks. I'll check in w/ Andrew about the routing bugs -- just haven't had a chance to since I got back this AM
• 13:43 <demory> (ran into some serious delays thanks to the storms in the Midwest)
• 13:43 <demory> mattwigway, not sure -- I don't see him on G-chat either
• 13:44 <mattwigway> I'll have to catch him later then, unless anyone else knows about how accumulators work in the batch processor.
• 13:45 <FrankX> Yeah, not too worried ... current OTP production running okay (a few bugs there too ... namely a tendency to plan large walking legs vs. transfering, which is resolved in head) and would like to see all issues with OTP routing investigated and fixed rather than rush something out.
• 13:46 <FrankX> Also want a new release of OTP once all routing bugs squashed... (Prefer to release 'stable' branch code to production)
• 13:47 <demory> mattwigway, sorry, i won't be much help there. i'll let him know you want to chat about that if i talk to him soon
• 13:48 <demory> FrankX, agreed about a new release w/ routing fixes
• 13:51 <demory> anything else for right now?
• 13:52 <mattwigway> does anyone have suggestions about how to specify an arbitrary formula in a spring config file
• 13:53 <mattwigway> e.g. I'd like to have a param formula = "..."
• 13:53 <mattwigway> e.g. formula="1/(x + 1)" or "ln x", &c.
• 14:00 <FrankX> no idea matt ... would think a to use a property file, but really don't know the policy between spring .xml config files and .properties files (although I did add .properties files early on for localization -- more as an example)
