Robert and others.... I have found many mentions of issues with Slovak on webdevelopment many of them revert to the UTF-8 (by the way my new setup will allow you to revert also!) while the rest are using the windows-1250 char set. I will allow the manual configuration of language sets so that UTF can be used but as I am finding most languages are working well with the ISO system. It is the best of both worlds, I get to stick to the standards and use the ISO 8859-X for the languages and if a user wants they can select the UTF-8 for thier system. I am working on the idea of a central I18N server for the lang sets so that translators can update a central system and users can download the updated language set instead of a new version everytime. (for work I still use osraids v1.1 because it does most every thing I need.) I need to get another development version out and a release, its been a month or so... I want to use the CVS system but I need a kick in the butt. I would like any submissions for the following ideas for a forward looking todo list: 1. Customer site setup report. 2. Customer address book printout 3. Consultant address book printout 4. Insert reporting idea here.........Reports are important 5. Accounting system - - should I do a cash system also or just stick to double ledger. Most "consultants" I know run a cash balance sheet. I however have a double ledger system started. later.........

Issue: CSS button highlighting Severity: very low Description: Button highlighting was broken on some browsers due to an uppercase B as shown below. Current code. <span class="tab" onmouseover="this.style.BackgroundColor='#abe'" onmouseout="this.style.BackgroundColor='#eee'"> It should be formated as follows: <span class="tab" onmouseover="this.style.backgroundColor='#abe'" onmouseout="this.style.backgroundColor='#eee'"> While this has a low severity, it does affect its compliance with the W3C.org Validator.

I have just learned that the translations will infact be easy to complete. http://w3c.org has a lot of great references and ideas about using different char-sets.

Attempt at answers. Short answer for all topics - Prioritys. I need to have some items done before I can even think about others. >OSRAIDS first run after install: >after the initial config.file is written this is displayed: > Config File created > See Below for database functions am in the process of updating this.... lots of work >but there is nothing below of any kind. ?

Items and reports will exist forever but just become inactive or voided for good accountability. >Also it seems to me that the principles or the "hierarchy" through wich one >processes the workorder from request to invoice contains too many possibilities >of user mistakes. And it does not have a specific order in wich things are done. Understood. I need to finish the process documents.

Any finished invoices should also be listed as such. (It >is as far as i know literally illegal to change an invoice that has been issued to the >customer, so they have to be locked down somehow.) Several points here - using the edit screen to look at a contact is handy to correct errors if you see them, I do agree with you on this, but having used this system for the last year I have found the edit menu is where I want to see the contact info. - in the photo I sent you I have the WR listed on the front page in order of priority. - I am working on the file upload thing, it is easy but needs to be optional. I have request for installs without the authentication so I am looking at options to control its look and operation. - invoices, and ARs "should" not change. I don't have the invoices saved because they are based off of the ARs. If you need to adjust an AR that was wrong then the invoice can change dynamicly. there is a new double ledger system in the works that two CPAs are helping me with. >Suggestion, think of this as the screen: > Customer name > adresses, mail, > phones,etc. > Nice box around it, maybe a notes section to write things >down when youre on the phone with the. > Work > Work in progress Files Invoices Request > Behind this:timesheets upload > > Something like this. its just a suggestion.

The I18N is allowing me to fix a lot of word choices in the system that may change how users look at OSRAIDS. Thank you for your ideas. I am working on a lot of things and will get them done soon. I have users from across the world and with different ideas for operation. I am sticking to a simple 3 point system at the moment (WR, AR, and if the ARs are right the accounting is done.). I will be adding additional Statuses to the WR and AR sections with better direction. I am also playing with the Sales Tickets so that I can get rid of the expense and other in the AR.

I need to test it and work out some bugs but am happy with it so far. I will extend the release to translators first to allow the creation of a good base of languages. - CSS CSS will be used to locate everything in the OSRAIDS interface from now on. For an example see http://csszengarden.com - Documentation Interested in Documentation? I am! Any one that has the spare time should submit some small articles about operating as a consultant or a service person to me for the website. I would also like to post translated content for international users. Content is a major part of documentation and I would like to offer as much content to the users as possible. - Me I have been quite busy but enjoying the stress as of late. I have two jobs at the moment and am assisting in the management of another OSS project. http://www.mondorescue.org - enjoy Thanks Andrew Latham la...@gm... - la...@ya... - la...@la... |
