Your user name is  sougatabhat. The password is the
one you used when creating that account on java.net.

Source control is under subversion. See
https://agilewiki.dev.java.net/servlets/ProjectSource
for details.

NetBeans 5.0, but both JDK 1.5 and JDK 1.4--The
servlets are under 1.4 for compatibility with various
web servers.

If you're using windoz, there's a reasonbly nice GUI
for subversion. From the office (I use subversion for
a project assignment) I just use the command line--its
easier than cvs, but similar.

I've granted everyone read access to the subversion
files, but I hope to change that soonest--I really
don't want to be spending all my time looking at patch
files.

Re: [CompStrm Wiki] new member

[Bill la F. <laf...@ya...>]

Sougata,

Thanks for the bio! I am very much looking forward to
working with you.

The GUI interfaces for this project are a bit
different, as they are XML driven and the application
software simply indicates the data to be displayed, so
the clients need to compose the displays dynamicly.

Everything is now roughted out for the clients, so
that is a good area to get involved in to start with.
But rough is the word. The User Interface model is not
very good--perhaps we can all evolve that together...
there is a bit of code (framework.UI.java) on the
server side but mostly it sits on the clients. We need
to support multiple UI models. The client passes the
initial model but then (eventually) through user
commands from the client, the server can change the
chosen model and informs the client.

But right now the area that needs work is mostly the
clients. Especially keyboard navigation--its
completely lacking. Also it would be nice to have a
back button on the swing client (the web browser
already has one, of course). The idea here is to keep
the two clients as close as possible.

Another area is fonts. Only default fonts are
currently in use.

All this work is up for grabs. Play with the software,
pick something you think needs work (virtually
everything) and declare your intent to do it! Treat
this list as a resource for getting help, answers to
your questions will benifit everyone else.

Also, any questions you have on why something is done
the way it is or how things are organized or the
intent of the project are fair game.

My earnest desire is that we can have fun working
together and produce something of note in the process.

Welcome aboard!

Re: [CompStrm Wiki] Looking for Priyanka Shah

[Bill la F. <laf...@ya...>]

Priyanka,

AgileWiki is a big project and its only going to get
bigger, and we have a number of newbies on this list
as well. Further, this project is intended to be a
platform for developers, so its sucess or failure
depends not on its technical merits but on the
accessibility and appropriatness of its API, and on
its general adoption or lack of it.

You can help a great deal just by asking questions and
reading and running the code, though believe me any
contribution is most welcome. We have not yet formed a
core development team. 

And while the custom OODBMS and top-level architecture
are largely complete, very few commands/capabilities
have yet been implemented. However I expect to enter
late-alpha phase (or is it early beta?) in about two
months when the dump/restore utilities are completed.
(Though they are not yet even been started.)

Documentation is largely abscent as yet (ouch!) except
for rough javadocs, and a new database is simply not
to be trusted without extensive testing. (Its a b-tree
with support for nested transactions. But its
customized for this project, which is how its
tremendous speed is achieved.)

My own priorities are to do what I can to bring a
development team up to speed and to implement a
minimum capability. There is already a crude Swing
client, a crude set of servlets for web access, and my
ISP is running a copy of the server so you can
download and try the swing client--hopefully we'll get
Jakarta/TomCat running there too so anyone can access
it via web pages.

I'm using NetBeans, so if you use that IDE as well,
you can simply open the various projects after
unziping the download or accessing the code via
subversion.

Are you familiar with NetBeans? Subversion? These are
easy to learn, fortunately. And I expect a subversion
client will be integrated into NetBeans and released
in about a month. (Till then, there are a few tricks
to using the two together.)

Lets keep the dialog flowing, but never appologize for
having a life. I'd rather build a long-term
relationship and build a team that has fun learning
and working together, everyone contributing at the
pace that is best for them.

[CompStrm Wiki] proposal--a simple game

[Bill la F. <laf...@ya...>]

Would anyone be interested in writing a simple game that runs on AgileWiki3? It would be a nice example of how to code up something interactive and a first demo of something quite distinctly non-wiki.
   
  But lets start really simple, like "I'm thinking of a number between 1 and 10, you get 3 tries."
   
  I realize that the very attempt to do something like this should prompt a lot of questions. That's one reason for proposing it. :-)

[CompStrm Wiki] Question for Ali Nahid, general discussion question

[Bill la F. <laf...@ya...>]

Ali Nahid,
   
  I was wondering if you would be interested in adding keyboard navigation to either AwSwingClient or AwServlet, or both? (I'd like to keep these two interfaces as close as possible.)
   
  This of course raises the question of roles and, assignments? We've now got a small group on developers on this list. How do you all want to work things?
   
  I'll also note that I haven't yet given anyone full developer status. I will. But I'm wondering if we want everyone who joins to have the privilege of updating subversion or if we want to keep that within a group of active developers.
   
  Discussion?

[CompStrm Wiki] What's it take to get to beta?

[Bill la F. <laf...@ya...>]

Some things will be left out of early beta, like classifiers. But I don't think I can leave out WikiWord resolution--the whole project is nearly useless without that!
   
  Here's a minimal list of what needs to be added:
    
   Some minimal commands for creating structures and content: ch, cr and de;  
   dump/restore; and  
   WikiWord resolution.
  My hope is to go to beta by the end of June. It will not be very usable. We'll still have the bad UI model and GUI's. But we should be able to start building content.

[CompStrm Wiki] how do you get started?

[Bill la F. <laf...@ya...>]

How do you get started on a new project?
   
  AgileWiki is an interesting project, and it has attracted a number of developers. But there are no doubt some difficulties getting started. Where do you begin?
   
  1. You need J2SE 1.5. 
   
  Yes, the servlet uses 1.4, but lets ignore the servlet to begin with.
   
  2. Start with the download.
   
  It is a big download, but it includes the javadocs. There are some README.txt files in the top 2 levels of directories. The talk about how to run AgileWiki.
   
  Each sub directory is a NetBeans project. Right now we're only interested in the dist directories.
   
  3. Just run it.
   
  In the top level directory, there are 3 bat scripts. Start the rmiregistry first. Then the AwServer. And finally the AwSwingClient.
   
  Try the help command. 
   
  4. register
   
  Use the register command to create a user. This is your system, so use AdMin for your user name. Next time you use the swing client, you can use the login command.
   
  Once you're logged in, try the help command. You will note that there are a few more commands than before you logged in. (Still not very many.)
   
  5. Then what?
   
  Play with it. Ask questions. It will take a while to get oriented--the GUI's in pretty bad shape at the moment and is really only good for testing.
   
  6. Next step is to begin experimenting with the code. If you use NetBeans, things will be easier. You can just open the AwServer project by entering its pathname. The open the project properties and go to the libraries. You may be using a different version of Java than I am, so you will need to select the platform you've installed on your system.
   
  7. Where do you start? 
   
  This one is easy. Start with the data moving between AwSwingClient and AwServer. In the AwServer project, open org.agilewiki.framework.Portal. This is the (ONLY!) code in the server that talks with the clients. The clients use RMI to call the processClientRequest method.
   
  Add this line at the beginning of processClientRequest to print the requests from the client:
      System.out.println(requestDoc);
   
  Add this line just before the return statement at the end of processClientRequest to see what the server sends back to the client:
      System.out.println(response);
   
  8. Play with it. Ask questions. Have fun.
   
  Well, I hope this helped some. Getting started is never easy.
   
  Bill

Thomas (who is also on this list) came for a visit this evening. He is a coworker at Sun Microsystems and was an employee of mine back when I had a business in Raipur. And a nicer person you will never meet.
   
  I gave a demo of the web pages and swing client, and we found a bug in how plain text content is handled. Then I walked him through the GUI code and showed him how the displays were so simply composed using the XML from the  back end.
   
  But the nice thing was in talking about Rolonics. I illustrated it with two circles, one inside the other. Call it a cell, the inner circle being the nucleus of the cell. Then I attached the rolonic terms:
   
  The cell nucleus is the descriptor unit--it controls the behavior of the cell.
   
  The outer circle (the cell membrane) is the classifier unit--it controls the inter-relationships with other cells.
   
  The body of the cell is the ledger unit--it is the current state of the cell.
   
  Then the history of the cell is the journal unit--a listing of all the events which have affected the cell.
   
  Then a second picture. Its just a box subdivided into 4 equal parts, which are the Descriptor Unit, the Classifier Unit, the Ledger Unit and the Journal Unit. This is a rolon, or a first-class user object (call it a portlet if you want).
   
  Now the advantage of using a comprehensive theory like rolonics is that you can systematicly implement all the data and metadata of an object. There are really only 3 kinds of data elements--rolons, name/value pairs and a document.
   
  The Journal Unit is a list of all the transactions which affected the rolon--each transaction being another rolon.
   
  The Ledger Unit has LEnts (Ledger Entries) which are just name/value pairs. It has the documet, which is just a long string. And it has LSecs (Ledger sections), which are other rolons.
   
  The Classifier Unit has LEnts and CSecs, and there are some inverted tables to facilitate lookups. A large part of the Classifier Unit is implemented by the container (the Ark).
   
  The the Descriptor Unit of a rolon is a set of DEnts, as well as another rolon which is called the DescriptorUnit. Think of this other rolon as the class of the rolon, and it can have multiple instances. Also the LEnts of the descriptor unit are inherited as DEnts and the LSecs are inherited from this Descriptor Unit as DSects. One example of a DEnt is the MimeType, which describes the document in the Ledger Unit.
   
  And that, though its a bit much, describes the OODBMS of AgileWiki3. There are some complexities, but really not too much.

[CompStrm Wiki] team page

[Bill la F. <laf...@ya...>]

I don't think the team page can be published until we convert the main page over. Perhaps I'll just do a rude and crude main page for now.

Re: [CompStrm Wiki] bios needed for team page

[Bill la F. <laf...@ya...>]

James, this is not a full time job. A little bit here and a little bit there really is all that is reasonable. But drop me a note any time--its always good to hear from you.

  Hi Bill,

It is six thirty in the morning here and I am up because of a huge storm going on outside. You should check out the Houston Texas radar. 

Anyway I am going to be busy for most of the weekend so I'm not going to be able to work on much of anything until Sunday night. I'll get a picture for you soon.

  Norm, you should provide a better bio, please!
   
  James, you've got to have a photograph to add. (My wife took one look at mine and said we need to replace it TODAY!)
   
  I've also attached a VERY crude project page (and not using the required templates). And this is all already under subversion in the www folder, with pictures of Norm and myself and the last logo you sent under www/images. Please feel free to update it if/when you can.

Hi Bill,

It is six thirty in the morning here and I am up because of a huge storm
going on outside. You should check out the Houston Texas radar.

Anyway I am going to be busy for most of the weekend so I'm not going to be
able to work on much of anything until Sunday night. I'll get a picture for
you soon.

Re: [CompStrm Wiki] a nice looking web page...

[Bill la F. <laf...@ya...>]

I'm full of nonsense today. I meant to say that TortoiseSVN is strictly for windoz.
