03-17-102 12:09:51 Agenda Item 3: Old Business 03-17-102 12:11:37 a. First, Rat-Salad, could you please add the OS2_Treasury to the Index on the left, when you make the change please? 03-17-102 12:11:52 Hope my word order isn't to confusing? 03-17-102 12:12:09 to=too 03-17-102 12:12:56 yeah, I've been planning to do that... is it ok for the menu to just say Treasury? 03-17-102 12:13:56 the reason I haven't do this stuff already is because I'm working on another web project right now ($$$) 03-17-102 12:14:14 I can see why you might think the "OS/2" is redundant. :-) 03-17-102 12:14:45 OTOH "Treasury" by itself seems a little naked. (At least to me.) 03-17-102 12:15:47 I mean just for the menu to on the left.. its not the redundancy.. it's more a space issue :) 03-17-102 12:16:13 Oh..OK, that would be fine. 03-17-102 12:24:50 Does anyone have any other old business? 03-17-102 12:25:47 I'll take the silence as a no. 03-17-102 12:39:33 Agenda Item 4: Status Reports 03-17-102 12:39:40 Well, that would fall under New Business anyways 03-17-102 12:39:58 a. Web Site - Jeremy 03-17-102 12:42:12 At this point, I would like to thank you for all your hard work over the past year or so. 03-17-102 12:43:02 b. DB2 - Doug 03-17-102 12:43:08 it's been great helping the project 03-17-102 12:43:34 I am on the last class of the 6 classes that make up the connection manager thing 03-17-102 12:44:05 I am hoping that I can take a section from one of the other classes, copy it and reverse the direction of how the data is traveling 03-17-102 12:44:27 and use it for the last class - however I have not been luck on ANY of this thing so far 03-17-102 12:44:34 sounds like a lot of progress has been made 03-17-102 12:45:12 Yeah - but I ran against a number of time sink holes - a compiler bug, etc. 03-17-102 12:45:50 This last piece is the part that sends blobs to the database - which we need for data input and changes 03-17-102 12:46:36 Since I already have the part that gets the blobs from the database, i am hoping that sending them is no big deal (now) 03-17-102 12:47:04 Well - if you believe the literure for software development - no one. 03-17-102 12:47:35 Object Oriented technology was supposed to fix the "never on time" problem. Before that it was CASE tools, before that .... 03-17-102 12:50:03 I hate to ask you this, but what is your ESTIMATE of when the CM will be done? 03-17-102 12:50:04 So it is coming along .. slowly 03-17-102 12:51:03 If I don't run into anything else unforseen (like bugs, documentation problems, stupid mistakes) , this week 03-17-102 12:51:32 Ok, but we're not going to hold you to that. 03-17-102 12:51:34 I would like to get a sample menu structure to RS for him to look at (I promised that 2 wks ago) 03-17-102 12:52:22 I.E. we won't send any worms, cyber-bombs to your computer if you don't make it. (VBG) 03-17-102 13:00:02 Agenda Item 5: New Business 03-17-102 13:00:39 I have a couple of items 03-17-102 13:00:48 I have only tiny matter of new business to mention. 03-17-102 13:01:38 1) does anyone know how google's translation engine gets started - meaning is there some way that we can hook into that in order to provided translation on our site 03-17-102 13:02:33 2) there seems to be a number of sites out there that do something similar to WD - or similar to part of what WD will do 03-17-102 13:03:15 In an ideal world it would be nice to coordinate amongst the sites, at least to exchange information if nothing else 03-17-102 13:03:55 Doug: We have tried with some before, but people just want to do things themselves. 03-17-102 13:04:41 I would like to change the agenda names for WarpDoctor to "WarpDoc_2002-03-17.html" 03-17-102 13:04:53 I am afraid that will be the case most of the time. I was hoping that maybe we could set up some system where we exchange data, i..e hardware tips, documents, etc. 03-17-102 13:05:47 almost like mirroring an FTP site, except for specific types of data 03-17-102 13:06:14 Sorry, Doug: I didn't mean to butt into your presentation. 03-17-102 13:06:36 reply to the language translations: we can easily link to the different languages.. here's the WD site in German: http://translate.google.com/translate?u=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.warpdoctor.org%2F&langpair=en%7Cde&hl=en&ie=ISO-8859-1&oe=ISO-8859-1&prev=%2Flanguage_tools 03-17-102 13:07:07 Doug: That would be great. I was told that Golden Code was working on something similar, but they were limiting access to their customers. Also os2.org and os2world.com have a lot of information. But no one was interested in the past. 03-17-102 13:07:08 I saw a program that would do mirroring awhile back. It's probably in Hobbes. 03-17-102 13:07:40 Thanks RS _ I will get with you offline, cause I have some questions about how that works 03-17-102 13:08:14 I think to exchange information we would have to come up with some categories that would define what information we are willing to send,accept 03-17-102 13:09:12 and so that we could figure out what we were getting from others, with a minimum of effort. Hopefully the process could be automated where we would send all new items to other sites, and get new items from them that fit into the categories we were 03-17-102 13:09:15 interested in 03-17-102 13:09:17 Have the WD DB2 entry system running will be a big step in that direction. 03-17-102 13:10:28 That should help us alot because we have to establish the categories in order to stuff the data into DB2. The other sites might have more of a problem 03-17-102 13:10:41 I think we need to get WD up first so people can see what it is capable of. Then perhaps we can talk with them about mirroring it. 03-17-102 13:11:02 I agree. 03-17-102 13:11:18 I agree get WD what we want it to be capable of first 03-17-102 13:14:14 Anyway 2 thoughts (I'm done) 03-17-102 13:15:01 Any additional comments on Doug's suggestions? 03-17-102 13:16:44 OK: the only thing I wanted to mention is that I plan to change the WD agenda filenames to the format: "WarpDoc_2002-03-17.html" 03-17-102 13:17:14 This makes them consistent with the LOG file names (and helps my sanity). :) 03-17-102 13:17:20 That shouldn't be a problem 03-17-102 13:21:14 Mark, do you have any business you want to bring up at this meeting? 03-17-102 13:23:48 Well, does ANYONE have any new business? 03-17-102 13:25:38 Well, before we adjourn, let me state that the next meeting is March 24 at 3:00pm (20:00 GMT) [I hope that's right!] 03-17-102 13:26:00 Motion to adjourn. 03-17-102 13:26:52 All in favour of adjourning the mtg, type Aye. 03-17-102 13:26:58 aye 03-17-102 13:26:59 aye 03-17-102 13:28:54 Ask for opposed? 03-17-102 13:32:06 All opposed?
