Greetings, There's seems to be a lot of research involved in Trinity at the moment, and I guess we're probably all keeping track of our own URLs. I think it would be a good idea to keep a centralised reference area on the Trinity web site. That way it simplifies us finding the stuff later, and also makes it better for visitors (eg a visitor to the site may never have heard of dia, WebDAV, etc). It also goes a little way in publicising other open source projects we find useful :) Over the last week or so I've visited these sites in relation to Trinity: SourceForge: Project Info - Trinity http://sourceforge.net/projects/trinitydvf SourceForge: Forums for Trinity http://sourceforge.net/forum/?group_id=47078 Gnome Office - Dia http://www.gnome.org/gnome-office/dia.shtml dia Win32 Installer http://dia-installer.sourceforge.net/ WebDAV (Web-based Distributed Authoring And Versioning) http://www.webdav.org DAV Frequently Asked Questions http://www.webdav.org/other/faq.html HTTP Extensions for Distributed Authoring -- WEBDAV http://www.ics.uci.edu/pub/ietf/webdav/protocol/rfc2518_A4.pdf AutoCAD2POV for POV-Ray 3.5 http://autocad2pov.povray.co.uk/ The Apache Software Foundation http://www.apache.org/ W3C World Wide Web Consortium http://www.w3.org/ It would probably be an idea to include URLs for the relevant areas of the site (eg the page viewed, document downloaded, or whatever) as well as the top level URL. Then we (or visitors) dont have to wade through the sites trying to find the useful bits.

I had a bit of a look at webdav.org and come away more confident that we should make use of WebDAV for our repository. = It looks like the stuff that is currently "almost" standardised includes:= - basic file manipulation (create, delete, copy, move) - file locking - collections (aka directories)(create, delete, list) - properties - (eg. author, creation date, last modified date/by, etc) There are several extensions that seem to be close to standardisation: - version control - access control - ordered collections - searching They talk about the apache module which was created by them (as of versio= n 2, Apache now includes it in it's own installation and cvs tree). They clai= m that it completely implements all the things in the first list, and that = they plan to support everything in the second... So it looks good so far...
