Re: [Imca-developer] Web Application Data Administration Module

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

I give up.  Did not find anything that actually makes life easier. So I
will do it with use cases and custom built tiles.  This is a bit tedious
but so is trailing the web and evaluation frameworks etc...

Maybe we should have a look at creating custom components.  This will be a
lot of work but we can maybe have a feature rich component for: boat,
person and event.  They can have lots of IMCA login built in.  Therefore
this maybe a good solution to think about long term.

If you have any better ideas let me know.

All the best,

Doug
