I am not seeing where scout tracking would need plug-in capability.
Given the fact that the BSA changes advancement requirements
periodically, hard-coding advancement criteria would seem to be
short-sighted, and my inclination would be to go with a database
driven approach.
However, the requirement to support both thin clients and thick
clients, would argue in favor of this type of framework.
I'm thinking of a plugin framework so that others can write plugins
(such as DTG or other things we haven't thought of yet). Someone
suggested we use the eclipse plugin framework. I'll look into that as well.
I've not used this framework so it may not be suitable. For the
database, we could use Derby or One$DB. Again, I'm totally open to
other ideas here.
I would recommend that we ship with specific, small database, such as
the two you refer to, but that as a design principle, we validate that
we can easily install and run on one or more of the commercial caliber
DB's such as MySQL.
We could use hibernate which is somewhat DB agnostic. It does not
"officially" support Derby or One$DB but reports are that it does work
with Derby. I just wonder of hibernate would be somewhat overkill.
I believe that there needs to be two different discussions. One from
a technology perspective (which platform, technology, DB, etc) and
then a "Features" discussion (look & feel, type of information to
track, etc). I'm in the process of setting up a wiki wherein we
could all collaborate on these types of documents. I need another
month for this to be complete.
A mailing list may be faster to set up and would free up the bandwidth
on this list. Could such a list be set up on the same server as this
one?
Yes it could.
