[Qingu-developers] results of last town meeting

[Jago <ja...@no...>]

Hi,
for those who could not attend and for those who attended but can't 
remember here a short summary of the last meeting.

It was decided to use the proposal from Ragin for the graphical 
framework. But the info about the installed graphic package should be 
stored/read to/from a cookie instead of a difficult file read. This 
saves coding effort and bewares of Javascript incompatibilities.

Also the concept of frames is not needed anymore because most browsers 
cache the pictures today and broadband connections are widely used. In 
addition the transfer amount that is saved is minimal for the server and 
can be reduced if necessary by using zip'ed transfer mode if possible.

A task until 11/15 for everybody on this list is to look into available 
GUI frameworks and discuss the dis-/advantages of each of it here on the 
list. At 11/15 a decision will be made, which of the frameworks will be 
used. Due to limited workforce the main overview page and the archive 
(which will be rewritten next) will be the demo parts in the game to 
show the new framework.

And now to the work that was assigned to single persons:
write config.inc.php to prepare for automatic setup -> Badman (until 11/15)
rewrite archive to object oriented structure -> Orkala (until end of year)

If I forgot something, please add it.
