[Trackem-discuss] TrackEm 2007

[Jason G. <god...@gm...>]

Hello.

We should probably start thinking about TrackEm development for next
year. Here are my thoughts.

What we NEED for next year
  - TNC Support working
  - Updated route information (won't have until late in cycle)
  - Much testing
What am I missing?

What I would like to see for next year
  - Rethink the GUI to make it more task based. (Try not to clutter
things with most of the functionality on one screen.)
  -  Get rid of the topology information in the network layer
  -  Package it up into a JAR file. Ideally rxtx would be included so
that we don't need to separately install it
  -  Bonjour not required to run on an RF only link

What we should have to be able to consider TrackEm "released"
  - Program to edit the configuration database
  - Documentation
  - Installer?

So, those are my thoughts. I'm sure I'm missing things, and of course
things are open to debate. Please bring up your thoughts.

Also, are there any new developers on this list?

And on a side note - I have a few small commits to make. They are anal
changes to the way .equals() is done in some of the model classes.
I've been having issues with my configdb though, so I haven't been
able to test them yet. (Thus no checkin.)

Thanks
- Jason
