Re: [Bodington-developers] Bodington Hosting and Implications forDevelopment

Your plans shouldn't affect us - we're so far from Bodington head these
days. The only impact is that we may want to draw down your new code from
head if it looks like something that will be useful.

On the reverse side of the coin, we probably have code, patches / bug fixes
in our SVN that you may want to use to patch head before you start
improvements. For example we've integrated FCKEdit and created this new
collaborative authoring tool (with 'locking') - it's just a page with a word
processor on it. It should be possible to give you access to our repo and
we'll try to help with your questions as they arise.

You may even want to consider using weblearn as a starting point (as opposed
to head). We've got most stuff (I think) from head but definitely not
everything.

| forDevelopment
| 
| Dear All,
| 
| I'm planning to launch a hosting service next year - Campus Academicus,
| www.campusacademicus.com.  (I start marketing in Spring with the
| intention of attracting schools and colleges who will start using the
| service in earnest in the autumn term of 2008.) I will be piloting it in
| the upcoming academic year with one college.
| 
| This will be a very low cost solution because a single Bodington
| installation will be shared by multiple customers.  Pricing will be
| based on the volume of uploaded files, not the number of users. My long
| term aim is to migrate from Bodington a little at a time to a new
| software product which I am planning to create myself.  However, in the
| short/medium term I need to do some fairly significant work on Bodington
| to make it work for my own application.  For example, I will be using
| administrative zones for each client but I also intend to give each
| client its own host name.  So, the top level resource menu will not be a
| list of buildings but a list of sites and the URLs of the sites will
| each refer to the root directory of a host.  As the service expands this
| will allow me to split clients off onto their own servers without
| changing the URLs.
| 
| The question is, how can my work on Bodington fit in with those of you
| who are still using it? Is anyone out there planning to commit anything
| significant into the SourceForge project over the next year or so? Am I
| going to be the only person doing any work on Bodington during this
| period?  Can I just do whatever I want or is there anyone left whose
| approval/agreement I need to gain?
| 
| Jon
