+## Catch up on March 5, 2015
+
+_[Scrapy 1.0](/scrapy/scrapy/milestones/Scrapy%201.0) tickets review_
+
+### Attendees
+* Pablo Hoffman ([@pablohoffman](/pablohoffman))
+* Daniel Graña ([@dangra](/dangra))
+* Mikhail Korobov ([@kmike](/kmike))
+* Julia Medina ([@curita](/curita))
+
+### Updates
+* Python logging is nearly finished on [[WIP] Python logging](/scrapy/scrapy/pull/1060) PR
+* We no longer have someone assign for Python 3 port
+
+### Decisions
+* We’ll try to wrap 1.0 between this month (Q1 goal)
+* New [Scrapy 1.1](/scrapy/scrapy/milestones/Scrapy%201.1) milestone for wanted issues that we’re not going to tackle for 1.0.
+    Issues moved to 1.1:
+    * [Centralized Request fingerprints](/scrapy/scrapy/issues/900)
+    * [Promote a new CrawlSpider that allows overriding \`parse\`](/scrapy/scrapy/issues/712)
+    * [Python 3 support](/scrapy/scrapy/issues/263) (mainly because of time concerns, it’s still a project idea for GSoC)
+* New features for Scrapy 1.0:
+    * [allow spiders to return dicts instead of Items](/scrapy/scrapy/issues/1064)
+    * [Modules relocation](/scrapy/scrapy/issues/1063)
+    * [item_scraped signal is not fired when crawler is called via API](/scrapy/scrapy/issues/451) (we should check first this is in fact happening, and fix it since it’s related to the API changes)
+
+### Further work
+* Send a poll (on the next Scrapinghub newsletter) for the name of the ‘extract_first’ feature for selectors in [xpath1, xpath_one or xpath_first](/scrapy/scrapy/issues/568).
+	Contenders:
+    * extract_one
+    * extract_first
+    * extract1
+    * get
+    * first
+    * one
+    
+    After that merge [#624](/scrapy/scrapy/pull/624) PR (and close all related issues/PRs) with the winning name
+* Assign someone to help with pending tickets, especially the documentation ones
+* [Support relative urls better](/scrapy/scrapy/issues/548): for now, just add urljoin() to response.
+* Continue with [[WIP] Changes to crawler API](/scrapy/scrapy/pull/873) (Assigned: Julia). There are two different tasks here:
+    * Clean up what’s currently developed, this is the intent of that PR
+    * Improve APIs usability. We should start with making examples on how we want to use the API as a library, and investigate their feasibility
