Return to CSuite Workshop Index
Agenda:
David Benoit and Carrie Gates presented a demo of
progress on their jitMail system, which will provide
delivery of bulk messages as each user logs in. Those following the
development activities will recognize this as the evolution of the
previous "bulk mail" project, with a name that more clearly represents
its purpose.
Return to Topic List
- Pine
- Translation much slower than expected :(
- Problems handling variable substitutions, as the alternate language
syntax might locate the variables differently from English, and handle
pluralization differently.
- Apache
- Carrie Gates reported that
version 1.2b4 is running as main httpd on csuite.chebucto.ns.ca, with
language preference recognition. She is working on internationalization
of Apache's user messages.
- Lynx Setup Page
- The version of lynx in csuite:~jkeast/lynx2-6/lynx has
the new Forms-based Setup page, for testing. The version is otherwise,
at this date, raw lynx 2-6.
- Translation
- login as visiteur on csuite
- Set character-set in lynx appropriate to your terminal emulation's
capabilities. On a Macintosh, probably use Mac 8-bit, on a PC use
appropriate Code Page to correspond with your display setting.
- Only this version of lynx has been internationalized.
- Start Page
- no progress
- plan to make a Grand Transition on CCN after 1.0 release
- including
- Start Page,
- Lynx 2.6 International,
- Pine 3.95 international,
- translated pages
- Passwd / quota / zmailer
- shared library is built
- passwd looks at shadow password file
- Zmailer
- router still dumps core
- CSuite Database
- Andrew Dacey is building forms to report system configurations on
which CSuite is successfully built, along with bug report forms.
- A user list will help us to be more pro-active in follow-up with the
user community.
- It was suggested that MSQL be used as a "proper database engine" to
handle this requirement.
uname -a and the Posix interfaces can be used to
retrieve most of the configuration data needed for the database.
- Testing
- Some tests require parts of several branches to create a successful
logical test.
- Make is under consideration as the tool to control those tests.
- Make session planned for Thursday February 6.
- Function deadline
- Monday February 10 was named as the deadline for adding functionality
to beta 1.0
- Then full testing, bug fixing and finalize install procedures.
- Support
- Database
- Support center plan
- David
Potter will investigate the RUST problem tracking system and report.
