[Team] Release 0.9

[addyosmani]

We've all been super busy over the past few months, but I think we should try to get a new release out in early July. If for no other reason, to give developers an opportunity to see what the project offers and decide if it's something worth exploring. Wdyt?

I and @sindresorhus will be tied up with Yeoman for another week, but after that I'd like to do a proper screencast that we can include on the homepage. I would also like to finally get an Aura app into TodoMVC.com to help us build interest.

@sbellity I'm happy to help with the release prep. One thing I'd like to ask of you is whether you would be down with an interview-style questionnaire that covers some more developer questions I think we might get asked on HN after the release. Up for that?

Hey @addyosmani sorry... It's just crazy out there in TechStars ;)
@xcambar and @oliger just joined us here yesterday. Let's meet all together this monday if you can to actually prep this release.

We have other folks here that will be available to help us put together and review documentation / code examples and screencasts.

@team, anyone else interested in helping us ?

Let's do it !

I'm down for helping with whatever is needed.

Completely understand @sbellity :) To work around meetings/timezones we all already have during the day, we could hang out on #irc (maybe the aura channel?) Monday to wrap up the release.

Let's make the homepage super-easy for those new to the project to get started with. Will follow up with a few specific things we could use help with.

and thanks @buritica!

Cool. I'll be hanging out on aura channel on monday. It's #aurajs right?

Yep! That's it :)

If you have time this weekend or Monday, one thing that we're really interested in is a few basic widgets that beginners can look at to get a feel for what an aura widget is all about.

Perhaps we could start with a simple contacts widget? (like the one on http://cujojs.com/?)

Cool. I've got some stuff to do over the weekend but I think I can come up with something on Monday. 

​We'll discuss on IRC then.

@sbellity and I had a chat last night about the release. We're going to review where we are on Wednesday morning and make a call whether we're going to launch the new version that day or hold off until next week. A few things left to be done:

• Bring in the latest changes to the site and push them live to aurajs.com (Stephane and Hull have done some amazing work here of late)
• Put together a more comprehensive FAQ pre-release to help us with questions we might get
• Complete widgets we can include on the site
• Put together tutorial or tutorials for the guides section of the site
• Screencast if we have time

[buritica]

What time on Wed? I can try to join.
