Re: [Ginp-developers] Next Release...

[Doug C. <do...@cu...>]

I think all known issues are covered in the current release so it is 
good quality software.  It does not have many features, but it does what 
it does and does it well.

I tried to test GermanChars-äöüÄÖÜß.jpg on my Tomcat 4.1 installation 
but the operating system could not handle these file names so I give up 
on the idea of Non-Ansii file names.

I try to step back and say what is the most shit thing about the project 
and attack that.  The docs are not great, the code could be cleaner, 
better logging, better javadocs, more sample styles, better styles, 
sexier public website.....????  but I think that at the moment it is the 
data and features because search is an important thing for big 
collections.  As a user I want to associate data with pictures so I can 
write (Locale specific) comments about the pictures.  This means getting 
the DB stuff underway.  You mention a lot of stuff which you should add 
to the ToDo.txt Doc.  I think we should make a start on the db stuff and 
see what happens.  When is stabilizes again we can release, but there is 
lots to do and it is all worthwhile.  So get Hacking on stuff you find 
fun and useful, as it is all just for fun, or attach what you find the 
most shit thing about the project.  Your outline of good features for 
the next release all sound good to me.  I will play around with the db 
form stuff as discussed earlier, but feel free to dive in.

We had a good Webstats month last month.  I am not sure if they are from 
crackers interested in the security links or genuine users, but hits are 
hits.

All the best,

Doug
