> Key: MIFOS-2407
> URL: http://mifosforge.jira.com/browse/MIFOS-2407
> Project: mifos
> Issue Type: Task
> Components: Custom Properties
> Affects Versions: Release 1.3
> Environment: Platform: All, OS: All
> Reporter: rwhitney
> Assignee: Kay Chau
> Priority: Major
> Fix For: Unscheduled
>
>
> I'm filing this per Kay's recommendation as I'll be traveling during the
> triage.
> I was doing some testing for SECDEP and walking through the configuration. A
> lot of the settings that applied to SECDEP were the defaults we had for Mifos,
> so I thought I wouldn't uncomment them. But as I thought more about it I
> realized that was a bad idea for most of those config settings. Take the
> rounding rules. If a MFI uses the defaults (by leaving the config portion
> commented), this could cause major issues if they upgraded Mifos later and the
> default setting had been changed.
> So I'm bringing this up as I know there was a discussion long ago about
> whether
> to have config settings commented out or not. I believe we decided to leave
> them commented out in case we came up with better or new default settings we
> thought are better. But as I was configuring, I realized that would be very
> bad.
> I think we need to decide either of two things
> 1. We never change defaults once they are set. If we come up with a new
> setting, then we put that in the release notes and post to the community
> about a
> new possibly better default
> 2. We leave the file uncommented or set a best practice that MFI's really need
> to be implicit in their configuration selection.
