[Esims-devs] Status Update | release| svn changes | users | et al

[Juby V. <vi...@ne...>]

Hi All,

Hope you guys are in the best of spirits, I have been working on the 
project quite a bit and we have reached a phase where all the entities 
and core data flows(CRUD) has been completed.

Now that the code base is pretty much stable, I've moved the entire code 
base to the trunk.

This will be the base version of the code, and any further releases will 
spawn out from this code base. ( We can expect that some schools may 
need customization)
 From now, the latest code will be available under
https://esims.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/esims/trunk/app/esims-phoenix.

'phoenix' will be the first release and I think the first release can 
happen by May 15 2007.

I have also repo'd  the docs and the website of the project. If anyone 
of you could help in documenting the project ie User Guide, Admin guide 
, Setup guide etc, it will be of great help. However I know that all are 
very busy and I'll try to do something on that front too if no one 
volunteers.

Another update we have is that we have got some potential users who are 
ready to try the application.Two of them are in Bangalore and one is in 
Tamilnadu ( India). However these are private schools.Apart from that at 
least some of you maybe aware of the NGO from Pune (India) who contacted us.

Ive updated the official website a bit, you can have a look at it @ 
http://esims.sf.net if interested and have the time.

Sooner or later there maybe one more guy getting added to the project 
who has the functional knowledge of the system, and has contact with the 
schools who are willing to use eSIMS.

Finally I'm trying to add one more UI designer to help out with the UI. 
This is one bottle neck I see in the release. However, I hope that 
things will turn out at the right time and May 15 will not be overshot.


Thats all for now,

Thanks and take care
