Erich, I'm not sure how much work is actually been completed on the database merge but I believe it is mainly an outline at this point. There are a few items ahead of this for upcoming test releases.
That being said, it is primarily a time issue, rather lack there off. If you have interest and time we (oscar devel) would love to have more help to get that part of the system merged. I myself will not be attending the Ottawa Linux Symposium (OLS) this year. I'm not sure if anyone else who's active in oscar will be attending. As you mentioned the database has space for this information, there was just a coherency question b/c many of the SIS tools are still used in the testing (CVS) area. Some of the items ahead of this, include routines to help reduce the use of SIS tools and as I understand matter, this could then make ODA the source that could generate a SIS database if the SIS tools are used for management, etc. Anyway, I hope that gives you a bit more information. Let us know if you're interested in helping with development on this matter. Other OSCAR developers: If I'm off base in my comments, please set me/Erich straight! :) later, --tjn _________________________________________________________________________ Thomas Naughton [EMAIL PROTECTED] Research Associate (865) 576-4184 On Thu, 15 Jul 2004, Erich Focht wrote: > Hello again, > > trying the direct path to the authors of the article on OSCAR4... > > On Sunday 04 July 2004 11:48, Erich Focht wrote: > > when browsing through the OSCAR2004 proceedings I saw the section on > > "Centralized Data Storage" in the Oscar4 paper.
