Subject: [Dynapi-Dev] API3,alpha
I've been filtering thru and printing all
non-duplicate threads so I can break down the input from all
effectively. I will probably produce a rough
dicussion-brief divided into two key areas with
subsections:
1) DynAPI issues still requiring
focus.
2) DynAPI3alpha discussion brief which will
include everyones inputs on "anything" topically related to the next-gen of
this API.
I will most likely distill the first draft as a
PDF file that I hope stays under the 40K limit, but eventually we are gonna
need a more colaborative environment probably located at the DynAPI
homepage. Thoughts on web-based colaboration tool options would be
appreciated. Might actually be something right here at Source
Forge.
This tool should allow for draft inputs and
notations to a more text based document with supplemental drawings and
diagrams (knew I had a special purpose here), I don't think the standard CVS
will serve in that roll.
Additionally, I think all thoses who would like
to actively "be involved" in this "Planning Stage" should raise their hands
now and express an interest, or throw a rock. I recommend we develop a
"start-team" of those interested to at least get us through the planning
stages and to a presentable draft that can then be shared with
everyone in a open forum.
All of the above is of course subject to
administrative change, I am just trying to create a better environment for an
open-source team effort and I truely think having a "plan" is the best first
step here.
