Guys,

"Can you put up a tarball on SF?  The CVS probably would have been =
useful
to watch your development process."

Not sure if this has been brought up before, but I can`t seem to find =
any mechanism in sf.net, to allow file uploads. Maybe there`s a missing =
link in the "Files" section (I can see the links to the Statement of =
Scope) but nothing else.

Richard and Mike have been working on the code, and development is still =
ongoing. I`ve let them manage concurrent versions between themselves, =
but I`ve asked Richard to put up a tarball on sf.net. We`re all pretty =
busy at the moment as well, trying to mould the "documentation" into the =
mysterious and confusing shape our advisors want it in before Wednesday. =


Anyway, in light of this sf.net problem, I`ve put the first version of =
our code (pre-"freeze") on my server so you can see where we started =
(http://supaju.com/ta.tar.gz). It started very independent from =
Back-End, so we could test our components before integrating. The =
interfaces are very basic at this point, and a few features (PDF/RTF =
download, User Account modification) have not been implemented yet, but =
these are things we are currently working on.

With respects to the documentation: "How has it changed since April =
11th?"

The only major changes are that algorithms and physical implementation =
details are now included. Evidently, an "Analysis Document" (last term) =
describes purely logical elements of system architecture, whereas a =
"Design Document (this term) takes that logical architecture and adds =
implementation specifics (variables types, languages, database types). =
The diagrams still logically show the system`s behaviour, but now =
details like "PHP" and "SQL Table" are included. The difference is =
subtle, but this is evidently what is expected of us.=20

"Which version of Back-End have you been using?"

To be honest, I don`t know: I left that up to Mike and Richard. Does 5.4 =
sound right? Mike has fell ill over the weekend, so I`ve lost touch. =
I`ll let you know ASAP.

"Busy, about to release a 7.0.1 release of Back-End.  Have cleaned up a
bunch of code within it."

Glad to hear! There was a bit of Back-End related confusion last week, =
when we were starting integration. Details to follow. Hoping Back-End =
7.0.1 will clear things up. :)
