[openFIRST-devel] Module system working and what's next

[Jamie B. <ast...@gm...>]

Tonight I committed to CVS HEAD a working implementation of modules.
(I actually installed openfirst.base, openfirst.awards, and
openfirst.modules from scratch.)

What is needed most to debug it and make it more stable, IMHO, is to
check the DataBase implementations on DBMSs other than MySQL.
Especially the structure manipulation methods.

The next step in the plan in my head is to move basic user services
(login, logout, registration, profile management) from
openfirst.members to openfirst.base, so that we don't have a
dependency on a module in the core code.

After that, I think we'll be fairly close to releasing something. Far
from perfect or complete (real skins, options page integration, etc.),
but the major features should be ready. (Skinning may go in there,
since it is kinda integral to certain parts, like slug advertising.
It's just that I'm trying to avoid putting in too much so can we have
something by kick-off.)

Can anyone assist with this? Primarily debugging is needed on a more
configurations. (So far, it's just Apache 2.0.52, PHP 5.0.2, MySQL
4.0.21, Windows XP Pro SP1.)
