Where to begin? This is the first MyHeadlines release that has been managed using the Source Forge CVS repository. The feature set for this release can be found at http://www.jmagar.com so I won't go over that here.

What I will address is the Source Forge related updates to the project. First off I have changed my mind and made the CVS repository viewable to the public via the HTML interface. Second I have decided to include the CMS Abstraction layers in the CVS tree too! This decision is due to a change in my release procedure. I have constructed an automated release script called Mr_Build. This allows me to checkout, tag, export, assemble and zip the 8 target release architectures in less than 1 minute. Pretty nifty. All based on the CVS tree here at Source Forge. So there it is. My first release from Source Forge, and I kinda like it!!!

Now that the project has been openned up for other developers to contribute to the code base I have drafted the following project charter to define the "rules of engagement".

As this is a new thing and I haven't really thought about all of the various interactions you and I will have as we develop this code base, here are a couple guidelines as to how I see things working:

1) I reserve veto powers to remove, edit, deny, etc. any developer or code contributed by any developer. My decisions are final, I will try to be fair and objective, and will listen to all sides before exercising any veto.... read more

Well, I am bending to the public will and making the development process a little more open. I am now accepting applications for membership into the MyHeadlines development team.
