4. Discussion of some forum threads/posts that people have found interesting, or want clarification on, or maybe a question answered:
pickpocket skill - http://andorstrail.com/viewtopic.php?f=4&t=2413
Steal from houses, containers, guards can search you.
Might be done by using the current quest system but might need updated features.
TODO: Someone in dev group: Add as a task in taskfreak.
condition resistant items - http://andorstrail.com/viewtopic.php?f=4&t=2458
Seems like an interesting idea, stats have some balance issue but would be an interesting addition.
These types of items could either provide resistances to a whole group of conditions (physical abilities etc), or one particular condition (e.g. poison).

smoother character movement - http://andorstrail.com/viewtopic.php?f=4&t=2515
(Sarumar asks if we can introduce smooth movement instead of the current jerky movement)
One option would be to just introduce animations when moving actors. Another option would be to make it so that you can stand on other places than the center of tiles, for example on the edge between two tiles.

TODO: Anyone in dev group: Create task in taskfreak about introducing items that drop at 1% chance (rare?). Potions/weapons, trinkets, books.

TODO: Anyone in dev group: Create task in taskfreak about updating the editor so that you can save/load from your google drive instead of the current export/import stuff.
Health bar bug- http://andorstrail.com/viewtopic.php?f=3&t=2294
TODO: Anyone: Create an issue report in the issue tracker.
TODO: Some developer: Investigate and create a fix commit in git. Could be that the edges of the 9-patch png file is too small (some changes were introduced in android4 that requires larger edges).
New AC “terror struck” - http://andorstrail.com/viewtopic.php?f=4&t=2523
Or we could introduce conditions that, when active, prohibit you from moving close to monsters.
Or conditions (drunk) that make 20% of all you steps be in the wrong direction.
5. What should we have ready for the next meeting?
TODO: Everyone in dev group: Review and add things to the next meeting minutes document.
6. Open Discussion
Partial translations optional have the ability to switch to english without switching phone state?
Sure, we would like to change the translation format to using a more standardised file format (po files?). By doing that change, we could be more flexible in what options we present to the user.
I came onto the forums, and saw 7 new pages of pure spam.
