Well, it's time to stop lurking and start contributing.
Excellent!
My main complaint lies with the business UI dialogs. I find them to be clunky. I'd like to see some(all) of the following: - pop-up lists of vendors (enter bills dialog) - pop-up list of vendors with unpaid bills (pay bills dialog) - amount owed to specific vendor in pay bills dialog - keystroke entry of vendor name in bill entry/payment dialogs - auto-completion of vendor name in bill entry/payment dialogs
FYI, pop-up lists are going to be hard because, technically, you don't ever have a list of all vendors (or customers, or employees). They are all database searches, and API-wise the only way to get a list is to perform a database search ...[snip]
Well, given that currently one must use either [Search...] or use data validation of a typed name; there's already a database search involved. In any case I've got a learning curve to scale and I'm a long way from even thinking about implementations.
I'm starting with HEAD--and sticking to function descriptions for now.
I propose to start by adding documentation for the functions in business/business-core. How about it?
Are you looking at the HEAD branch in CVS? Lots of the functions are already documented there. If you're not working in HEAD, you probably should (or perhaps the G2 branch). Docs should be updated in HEAD. UI work should probably be done in the g2 branch.
Anyone want to help me get off on the right foot?
Do you have specific questions?
I thought I'd start with gnc{Vendor,Customer,Business}.[ch] and play around with doxygen. (You wouldn't happen to have a Doxygen config-file lying around somewhere, would you?)
No specific questions yet, but they'll come up.
First rule: Break no code! Second rule: Don't assume semantics
