2006-09-15 Thank you all/#2021

I just wanted to thank all developers for the last few weeks. So I started this internal news folder.

It was the most intense developing phase streber had seen so far. Some keypoints:

• New translations for Norwegian, Polish, Swedish, French and Slovak
• Fixing about 10-20 errors I could never have solved on my own
• Quick edit form and new, improved taksView
• Sorting Companies and People in useful groups

This is just breath taking! I am very sorry that I currently have not more time to implement new features and release versions more frequently, but I sometimes find some time on weekends and evenings. I try to read all submitted code and check for inconsistencies. I really hope nobody takes this to personal ;-)

We should do some plans for the weekend and the upcomming weeks:

• I changed the server at streber-pm.org to php5. So we could move streber.pixtur.de to this domain.
• We should change the comment header of the source files from

# streber - a php5 based project management system  (c) 2005 Thomas Mann / thomas@pixtur.de
# Distributed under the terms and conditions of the GPL as stated in lang/license.html

into something like...

# streber - a php5 based project management system  (c) 2005-2006 streber development team / www.streber-pm.org
# Distributed under the terms and conditions of the GPL as stated in lang/license.html

• I should finish version v0.069 (fix Versions, Styles) and release it with the current features.
• Maybe we could restructure the team a little bit. I see that I am not capable of releasing the versions requlary. Maybe two developers could handle this tasks. Tino is already doing a tremendous job at answering questions at the forum and I see how much time this saves me for looking at the code.

Discussing upcomming features:π

• I will try to push the jquery-features a little bit and remove the old js-code.
• I really would love to implement anonymous browsing of streber.streber-pm.org. This would allow us to move the old mediawiki-content directly in to streber and probably even would save us from installating a CMS.
• We should split the tasks into categories (task categories) to separate the documentation/wiki from real tasks.
• Now that there have some other developers looked at the code, we might discuss some internal code structures. (e.g. DB-Backend, fields, html rendering).

Please give some comments.

So once again: Thank you very much. Although I will have some hours for coding at the train, I might not have internet access at the weekend...

greetings from Berlin
