Re: [pilot-db-list] Re:New db version 1.1

[marc\.chalain\@laposte\.net <mar...@la...>]

I never used CVS on sourceforge (my modem and my wallet didn't
accept to=
 use it) then it's normal that you didn't find a good
version. I'm knowi=
ng that Scott used it more, but that all. I
don't know the current versi=
on on CVS.

The last source code is the source code that every body can=

download from the website. On my computer i have another
version which=
 contains some corrections (i forget which ones),
but i didn't change a =
lot things.

But i want to keep your attention that the users are very=0D
=
strict on the stability of the software. You HAVE to be the
more careful=
l on the version that you release.

An other thing that i will inform y=
ou, it's the distribution.
You must survey which files that you distribu=
te and test each
one (the applications first: main application + the plu=
gins),
but the text files too ( the help files should contain the
good =
informations...).

For the end, i will tell you that to develop pilot-d=
b is one
thing and it's the less difficult, after you must:
 - make the=
 distribution.
 - inform the web world (palmgear, handango, other palm w=
ebsite).
 - coordinate the work of the others peoples, when you receive=0D
=
a translation file, you must build the overlay, when you
receive a patch=
, you must test it, when a beta-tester send a
bug trace, you must look f=
or the correction.
 - answer to the questions and the features requests.=

At the end you will spend a lot of time on your mailbox.

I don't wan=
t to afraid you, but there is just a lot of work
for one people and to f=
ind motivated peoples, it's not easy,
and to keep them, it's more diffic=
ult.

I will release a last 1.1.1 version, but you can begin with
the =
current version. There will not be a lot of modifications.

Salut,
