[Saute-develop] Welcome all.

[Conan H. <hei...@ya...>]

Now that most people have joined the list, I just thought I'd give a
formal hello and current state of affairs.  

First of all thanks to everyone for wanting to help out. I know that
there are a lot of reasons out there for why, but I know that most of
you want experience and/or exposure.  So, I'll do my best to give you
opportunities to do that.

On this mailing list we have two groups: those mostly interested in
developing the software and those mostly interested in developing the
web site.  For now, we'll leave them both here since what one group
does may affect the other group, and this keeps us all on the same
page.

Yesterday I finished a little intro to "Getting Started with saut¨¦"
in the documents section.  Everyone please read it (it's _really_
short), and if you have any suggestions/comments/questions, please
post them to this list.

Already we have two more additions to saut¨¦.  Graco made some
compatability and consistance changes to dbsetup.pl, and Olivier
added a simple recipe viewing window to saute.pl.  Good job, both of
you.  I have added both to CVS, so be sure to do a 'cvs update' in
your src directory.

Also, if anyone is having problems using CVS, please ask, as this
will be the main method of getting code.  It can be a little
confusing at first, but is nice to use once you get it.  If you would
prefer a GUI interface, Pharmacy seems like a good tool.

I am also facing a small administration delema that I would like feed
back on.  By adding developers to the list-of-developers list (as
opposed to the mailing list) they automatically have write rights to
the CVS repository and the group directory (which houses the web
site).  Since I personally have royally messed of this repository
when I was learning CVS and have seen similar situations at work, I
am a bit hesitant to give this right to everyone helping out. 
However, I don't want to be a tyrant or anything either.  Any
suggestions how to handle this?

For now, code updates will come to me (hei...@ya...), and web
related stuff will go to Jerry (ye...@ho...).

That's it for now.  Have fun.

conan.
