[phpwscommerce-devel] SF.net

[Wendall C. <wen...@83...>]

Everyone here probably knows that the sf.net permissions system is crap.
I made everyone tech/admins for everything. If I missed somehthing for
someone and you can't do something, just let me know. It wasn't because
I was trying to keep you from doing it. If it needs doing, just do so.
Makes life easier, and I trust everyone in this group. If we bring on
more people that are unfamiliar, as developers or testers, I don't think
I'll just set them up with admin access to everything. This has been bad
for us in a couple situations in the past.

Don't worry about commiting fugly code, so long as it's well commented.
I'll write up a doc for how the comments need to be constructed, since I
want to use some auto-documentation tools for the code base.

I'll speak for Don, since I've worked with him for quite some time now.
But neither he nor I get offended if something we wrote or did could be
implemented better and you change it. Please always feel free to fix
stuff that needs fixing. Just comment well and communicate on the
changes you are making. I think everyone is this group pretty much
leaves the ego at home, and this will be a good thing for getting things
up and running in a reasonable amount of time.

We will be adopting the same coding practices lined out on the app state
site. Basically follows the same standards as used for PEAR. We'll get
this added to the wiki. I think everyone here is familiar with these.
I'll put up a copy of the module developer best practices doc that Matt
wrote for Fallout as well. We'll be doing some things a bit different to
help migration to Fallout. Especially in the area of database design.
We're not going to use any "mysql" specific syntax for example. The more
databases supported the better. MySQL, PostgreSQL and Oracle are
probably ones we'll want to cover initially. Pretty much everything that
the PEAR::DB will deal with for now.

Just one last thing. Verdon Vaillancourt is the latest addition to the
team. Welcome aboard everyone.
