Just so people know, I've been posting fairly regular status reports on the web page forum. You can get to it from the project homepage at http://wwkb.sourceforge.net There will likely not be much progress during the rest of this week. I have two work projects that need attention and family in town visiting. By Sunday I should be back to working on it.
Because the server code is the first piece that will actually be communicating with the database, I've had to decide on what to do about data access. I have my own data access library that used to be called PeteDALLib. While it's not quite up to the task of a database of this complexity, it's not far off. So, I've decided to post the library here on SourceForge. I've renamed it DotNet DAL Lib and there are just a few things that need to be finished with it before it will be ready. You can find out more about it here: http://dotnetdallib.sourceforge.net
If you're interested in getting involved in this projects, I first recommend that you read some of the documentation in CVS in the Planning directory. That will give a much better account of the direction and goals of the project. The WWKB Code directory was a mistake. All the current code is in the Alpha Code directory. I haven't moved everything over yet as I'm yanking some older code and want some design changes in before I get it up in CVS. At this stage I'm working on the server app which I is nearly done, but I need to add some stuff to a couple of libraries it depends on before I can finish it. Expect code to start appearing over the next week and I suspect during that time the server app will be finished. The second step is to rewrite the Asynchronous Pluggable Protocol (the prototype of which can be found in the Planning folder of CVS). I'm not even sure the prototype works anymore because I was in the middle of some changes when I realized I'd have to toss it and start from scratch. It was my first attempt at writing an APP, so I was still figuring out how the whole process worked, which is why the prototype is so poorly designed.
