[Openfirst-cvscommit] Recent Flood of CVS Commit Messages

[Tim G. <tim...@sy...>]

Please accept my apologies for the recent flood of CVS commit mailings 
(the near 50 of them).  They are due to a major restructuring of the way 
the openFIRST system works.  The new way of doing things provides much 
more intuitive addresses, and a common setup.

However, with these new changes, several links within openFIRST modules 
may be broken.  I would like to ask everyone to check for these broken 
links and make the appropriate patches as soon as is possible.  For most 
of the files that appear to be missing, they have been moved to 
'index.php' as they represent the main purpose of a particular module. 
Also, please perform audits of each line of code in each module to make 
sure it complies with the established standards, and make note of 
configuration information that must be collected for each module (ie, 
things that were once part of globals.php but no longer are, or those 
which required module-specific configuration options).  These 
configuration options will be dealt with in as timely a manner as can be 
managed at this point.


I also realize that now is exam time, or nearing exam time for all of 
us, and that none of us have as much time to work on openFIRST as would 
be desired (myself included).  However, the changes must be made, and 
openFIRST will be a much better system for it.  Documentation should now 
begin to be written, as the current file names should be considered as 
relatively stable (exception to this general rule: files in config 
dealing with managing things, and some files in members).
