Hey Folks, As your both aware I've started doing things towards a new version of SPMS, despite my leanings towards Java code recently SPMS will continue to be a PHP project (However, I have considered a Java Port ;)). Initially I'm calling this SPMS4 rather than SPMS 3.1, all of the version 3 source code and database layout has been dropped. I'm re-developing SPMS from the ground up, this is in response to the feedback I've been given by users and because of my own experiences with SPMS. The main aim of the project is to remove a series of security concerns I have with version 3, and to re-build the core of SPMS in to a series of objects. Additionally I am going to be adding functionality beyond that provided by previous versions of SPMS. I tidied up the Sourceforge site a little yesterday, I have disabled CVS access for everyone but us at the moment. While I'm working on the SPMSCore package I would prefer it if I was the only person committing code to the repository, I have set up a CVS ACL which limits commit rights to the three of us (Yeah, we're the only ones on this list right now too, I'll add other people back if they request it). Currently I have a draft requirements list for SPMS4, as I analyse each requirement I'm designing it too. Currently I have a firm design for the SPMSCore Package and for the manifest system, other sections of the system will be designed as a get through the mountain of possible additions and modifications to version 3. As I get further through this I'll send out more updates, because I'm LOA from stuff Thursday and Friday this week I suspect I'll have most of the Core written (hotel rooms are lonely places ;)) ~Dan |
