Hi all,
My name is Larry Lam. I am the technical owner of the application WebRTI
which is used by many consolidations within Sun to manage code changes
to their projects. It is a form based process which developers use to
request source code changes and evaluators can use it to approve or deny
the request.
Brian Kidney and I have been supporting the application for the last 2-3
years after the application was initially developed by a different
team. We were requested to look into making WebRTI available outside of
the Sun network and to support opensolaris development. We have decided
to name this project "OpenRTI" for now.
I am sending this email out to kick start this OpenRTI project. What we
would like to propose is that we create a new project on opensolaris.org
with accompanying mailing lists, etc. so that we can communicate with
the community at large and get feedback on the communities requirements.
We were thinking that we could put up some screen shots of WebRTI on the
project site, to give people who haven't used WebRTI before a feel of
the application.
We would appreciate any feedback on what would be the best way to go
about this and what is the process for creating a new projects on
opensolaris.org?
We would also like to use this opportunity to find out information on
two key modules we will need to replace in WebRTI to turn it into OpenRTI:
* In WebRTI, we are using the Sun wide LDAP process to authenticate
users. Is there a OpenSolaris equivalent? Or we should maintain a
separate login/password in OpenRTI?
* Every WebRTI request has to have at least one bugid/CR to identify
the changes. Within Sun, WebRTI extracts information from the
Bugster database. I was told that we should be interfacing with
the Bugzilla database for OpenRTI. Any information you have about
interfacing with Bugzilla is appreciated.
Regards.
