[ECUArch-gen] Status Report

[Mike P. <pa...@se...>]

Hi,

this is the first status report for the ECUArchitect project. I plan to
release those at random, in particular during the quite silent planning
and prototyping phase, where the project site is typically not updated
too often, especially since the sourceforge cvs statistics are dead and
always show 0 commits.

So here is what happened since the project kick off:

*	application framework wxWindows has been evaluated and picked as
project environment
*	mySQL has been evaluated and chosen as backend engine (default
one, alternatively use your own plugin and hook into your own DB/PDM)
*	the base application shell has been implemented (in cvs right
now), providing the typical VC++ project GUI. There may be multiple
graphical views of a model opened at the same time (MDI), while a tree
and another information view describe the active view/object.
*	Core requirements have been logged into the "Requirements"
tracker. For developer issues another tracker was recently started
(still quite empty, since I used an excel sheet before).
*	Project focus has been sharpened from a rather general
development tool, to something one would maybe call a "logical
architecture modeler", at least for the first release.

Cheers,
Mike
