Hi Julian,

The community website (www.xerte.org.uk<http://www.xerte.org.uk>)  is technically up and and running. I will try to work on it next week and hope to show you all the first version in a week or two (very basic version) If you agree then we can try to release it together with the new 1.8 version of XOT.

Bye,
Inge

Yes, I think this is just growing pains as well. I don't want the deadline to sound like we are imposing one: that's not really what I'm driving at, I'm just trying to coordinate several activities, and resources here are scarce. In time we will have people's capacity to look at stuff again. Maybe it's better to be much more incremental, rather than trying so much at once. There has been loads of activity in the last six months, and I'm really grateful for it. I'm hopeful that the PHP will eventually really stabilise - and we can't think of anything it doesn't do (!).

I think in the end I'm starting to think of the Xerte Project belonging to the community, rather than to Nottingham - at least that's the direction of travel, with us contributing in part along with everyone else. Our new site is very minimal, just the old one, re-focusing on toolkits as the main product and sorting out some nomenclature re: Xerte 3 which just confuses everyone, and I'm hopeful we get the new community-based site off the ground in the next six months as well.

1.9 will be the first html5 output. I hope, for October.

I just have loads on of my own stuff to do (and I don't get anything

directly from XOT). The code has been out there for testing for four

months after all.

I think we sort of need a roadmap though - because now we've got a

deadline that is Nottingham's and it is defining everyone's work. But

the majority of the work here isn't being done by Nottingham (and is

for free). At some point a Nottingham person is going to have to start

coding on this again, and it'll be a bit weird (because we've got

different coders doing different things, that database queries are

sort of PDO in some parts, and not PDO in other parts).

I get the feeling this is just a growing pain, but we could do with

some thoughts on say

What will tag / branch 1.9 be?

What sort of coding standards are there (the only thing really I would

say is text strings for internationalisation are upper case - but some

of the commits are indent changes - so are we going drupal like? I

don't mind what we do - it just makes sense for people looking to

commit changes they know it'll work. Once we got a commit for the PHP

header change for the export code, but I never committed it because it

broke Nottingham's export function. This isn't a big deal, but the

idea of nightly build, or a test version before approval makes sense?

Some sort of PHP doc commenting per file (@file version 1.1 timestamp

(unix time at that point?). At the moment there aren't a lot of people

supporting the PHP side - and as David says bits are him and bits are

me - but I don't understand all of his as well - so there is a point

where support will get awkward.

If everyone uses bugfixes.txt as well that helps a lot, so all fixes

are explained simply and listed for people to use. That way everyone

can be on the most up to date version without worrying about anything.

I know the SVN does it, as does the RSS feed - but it's not obvious or

tied to the install in any place.

Don't worry about the flash stuff, I can do that. Pat's time is scarce, so

if we can help him to help us that will get things moving,

OK, I'll start doing that.

Who shall we assign particular types of bugs to?

I'm up for anything to do with templates, and the xerte stuff.

Volunteers for other types? Pat and David for all the php?

I'll do whatever I can - but some bugs will require Pat's knowledge of how

everything fits together - I have minimal knowledge about how the flash

stuff works (for example)
