OI2 status report (2005-02-24)
------------------------------

For the first status report an overview is probably in order. Here's
what I see right now as upcoming releases, subject to change as
typical:

2.0 beta 6 (1.99_06)
Target: mid March
- Fix the remaining issues in JIRA
- Cleanup log messages according to recent emails as much as possible
- While doing that localize error messages throughout system.

2.0 beta 7 (1.99_07)
Target: late April
- Fix outstanding issues.
- Integrate existing 'delicious_tags' package to core and replace
some application functionality with it (like news sections).
- Finish log message cleanup.
- Finish localizing error messages.
- Get someone who knows design to help out with website/CSS
- Get infrastructure to support Class::DBI and simple
sample app working (need to learn more)

2.0
Target: late May, early June
- Hopefully small fixes
- More localization messages?

Recent work lately has been:

- 80% done: Being able to package and install OI2 application
packages using CPAN tools. So you'll be able to do something like:

# install to local perl

perl -MCPAN -e 'install OpenInteract2::App::PhotoManager'

# install to local website method 1
perl -MOpenInteract2::App::PhotoManager -e 'install()'

# install to local website method 2

oi2_manage install_package --class=OpenInteract2::App::PhotoManager

- 95% done: Create little objects and an organizer to figure out which
OI2::Action object to run based on the URL (or whatever). I
referenced this in a recent journal post:

http://www.cwinters.com/news/display/?news_id=3333

This is in OI2::ActionResolver and children and kicked off in
OI2::Controller.

- 95% done: Create little objects and an organizer to run setup
routines; this tore apart the monolithic OI2::Setup class into a
number of little classes that get organized at runtime by
Algorithm::Dependency. This change makes it possible to easily add
your own routines that get run at server startup -- all you need to
do is be in the OI2::Setup namespace and tell us a little about
yourself (name and dependencies).

- 100% done: Added FastCGI interface. I haven't used FastCGI before
but it works and seems simple enough...

- 80% done: Rewriting the 'base_error' package and its support to
not store errors in the database but use the filesystem instead.

I can go into detail on these, but this is already a long email...

Later,

Chris

You read my mind.
