[rcml-devel] tonight and THursday meeting

[John B. <jx...@ga...>]

  Been running around all day without enough sleep; I won't be there
tonight.  Too much trouble getting in from Waco in the middle of the
night and looking for a voter registration card today and other
assorted messes.

  Whoops -- group I doesn't have group II's design.  There is a file of
pseudocode for it at gamma2:/home/jxb9451/rcml/xml_inter.txt .  The
class diagram hasn't changed fundamentally, and I believe Pramada has
entered it into Rational Rose and sent it to the list (good job,
Pramada!).  It takes a while for large files to go through; it should
be there tonight.

  Group II's coding is all but finished with a couple of tiny things
(outputs to screen instead of file).  I'll try to figure out what the
problem is later this evening.  Meanwhile, group II, please start
looking into the issues involved for branching.  You'll need to make
changes especially to the RevisionNumber class, the DTD, the
getRevision method of the RevisionTree class, and a few other things.
Remember, a branch is an odd number of numbers separated by dots (as
in branch 1.5.6, or branch 2), and there are multiple versions on each
branch, each designated by a version number.  Alltogether, the branch
number and the version number are the revision number.

  Group I, if you can't get the design finished before tonight,
that'll be okay.  We'll readjust deadlines if necessary in the
Thursday meeting.  Try to get as many issues as possible worked out,
though.  Do not, under any circumstances, start coding before the
design is completed.

  See you all Thursday.
