Fwd: [Fofredux-devel] 0.4 Roadmap

[Evan R. <eva...@gm...>]

Hey guys,

i'd be happy to jump in to help on multi-user stuff.  i had started hacking
that into an older version of fof over a year ago.  (it's also one of thing=
s
i do for a living)

my initial thoughts at the time, which might have been a few steps too far,
were to handle each feed only once.  which means, we'd need to pull all the
status info pertinant to each user into a seperate table.  It's a bit of
extra work, but you have two major advantages:
1.  db will remain a slim as possible
2.  you aren't hammering feeds unnecessarily.  i'm running 3 installs
currently for myself and 2 others, and i've gotten banned on slashdot a few
times, since the cronjobs to update-quiet were going off too close to one
another.  ie. simply being a good netizen.

i just need to get eclipse to play nice with the sourceforge subversion.
then i'm good to go.
do we have a dev guide somewhere?  anyone organize specific tasks...or
basically a free-for-all headed toward a certain goal?

later
/evan
