[Aimmath-developers] Welcome

[Gustav W D. <gw...@yo...>]

Dear Neil, Ken, Gregg,

I just added you to the developer's e-mail list. I thought this would be a
convenient way for us to communicate. The list is only open to AIM
developers, of which there are currently only us 4 but I would hope more
will join soon.

I am completely inexperienced at this business of administering a
development effort. So I would appreciate any plain-speaking advice you have
for me.

I have placed the last official release of AIM (version 2.1.0) into the
SourceForge CVS repository in the directory AIM (you may want to rename it
to ROOT locally so that it runs without changes). I did not place the
automatically generated files under CVS control.

To check out the system I committed one changed file (implementing the
"mark" and "validate" links in each question's navigation bar on the
student's quiz page). In future I will always send a message to this list
before any commit.

Ken suggested that it would be useful to have our own little guide to CVS on
SourceForge because the documentation on SourceForge is a little
overwhelming. Is there a volunteer for writing this? If not I will try to
write a page next weekend even though that would be a bit odd because I
believe that I am the least experienced member of the current development
team.

Best wishes,  Gustav
