[moregroupware-devel] Project Status

[David L. <llo...@ad...>]

Hi There,


Whilst I am still deeply interested in the MGW project, there are a
number of issues that I would address were I project leader:

1. Code Base

 - the code base is too disparate and feels hacked together
 - eg. Calendar2

2. Templating Language

 - Smarty requires rigorous monitoring to ensure proper Model View
Controller separation
 - Such monitoring hasn't occured

i.e. the coding is a mess; it shows good techniques but classical bad
formed code as well.

3. Underlying Structure

 - The project has clearly arisen out of one or two particular partys'
needs but hasn't had the resources to survey or identify potential
targets

So, I think we need:

1. A SWOT analysis

2. A set of strategic, broad brush goals

3. From these goals, identify who here are interested in 'project
managing' the broad goals

4. Implementing the goals

What do we think? And I ask, too, is Karsten about?
