Hi Sean,
Please see my reply (*>* ) to your queries .
I am sending next mail on 'What' part.
I will send Blog link to my initial proposal by Sunday.
Regrds,
Chintan.
Hi Chintan,
Thanks for the introduction.

We have a dedicated server and the interface requires access to BRL-CAD
functionality. How would we support a user opening a .step file with Code
igniter? With the current approach, we can directly call BRL-CAD?s step-g
importer along with dozens of other tools.
*> CI is just framework for PHP. I will use shell_exec command of PHP to
use existing tools of BRL-CAD . Similar to .g to .obj converter and step-g
importer we will be able to use other tools. *

I note that this is a whole lot of ?how", but not ?what??
What I mean is that I don?t see what you?re proposing that will look any
different to a user. it looks like you?re proposing to essentially rewrite
OGV for a different framework. While I don?t doubt that is a lot of work
and there obviously would be tradeoffs, some good and some bad, I?m not
sure I see the value in doing that on something that is not even deployed
yet.

If everything goes to plan, by the end of GSoC we?ll be ? exactly where we
are now. No?

done for quick deployment.
I think a proposal should primarily focus should on features and usability
myself. What user-visible enhancements are going to be implemented? What
deficiencies will be corrected or improved? What about real CAD geometry ?
parametric NURBS? If back-end changes are going to be made, it should be
because it?s blocking something from being implemented in a timely fashion.

CI will facilitate MVC for PHP, so it will not be blocking.
Keep the thoughts coming.
> Sending next mail which will address some visible features.
Feedback from our devs that have worked on OGV in the past will undoubtedly
be more useful and insightful than my own.
Cheers!
