New Project Section on ez.no

Hi Paul, You're back on-line finally ;-)

Indeed, we agreed to make someting available on pubsvn based on what we have here (typical project management tools, action lists, bug reporting, forums, file sharing, the most powerful search plugin in te world ....

But it is holiday period, Kristof and I will both be back at the beginning of august.

Cheers

Paul

Hi Paul,

Just back from holidays myself :)

Sounds good. I hope svn will be included :)

It would be very nice if the project system was in svn itself to allow it to evolve.

Since this work is in your hands does this infer that eZ systems will not be working on developing the system with you at least for the first version?

How long before something goes online? Post-holidays of course ;)

A small update on this topic:

SVN integration has been implemented. Each project can have it's own SVN repository, with only read access for anonymous users and write access for project members. The user accounts of the eZ publish site are also used for the SVN repositories.

Hi Niklas,

No guarantees, but a first preview version could be ready by the end of this month. We also eat our own dogfood (the projects site is one of the hosted projects) ... which generally helps advancing and maturing.

It will contain also use some nifty extensions like the Lucene based search plugin along with the dedicated extensions our ezp wizard Kristof made for this.

Hi Kristoff,

Its a good start. I created a test project which i assume is in a workflow somewhere :)

Could the project system be self hosting?

Hello Niklas

The section editing workflow event based on the access type you selected (<i>Accessible by</i>) will need eZ 3.9.

I'd like to have some clarity from eZ systems on the usage of our application:
- Will our system replace the old pubsvn community repository
or
- will eZ systems use our application on ez.no (with svn repositories on ez.no or on pubsvn.ez.no)
or
- will eZ systems do something on ez.no with an application of their own?

The community won't be better off if we have 2 complete applications in paralel for the same purpose. What I've build so far is of course useable at the SCK for our own projects so in either case it won't be work for nothing.

Hi Niklas

http://pubsvn.ez.no/projects/plain_site_user/ezprojects/subversion (warning: still contains some hardcoded id's)

Any help is welcome. I'll send you a mail.

It seems so quiet on the eZ systems' side, did they fell asleep? :-)

Hi Paul

I know our way of working is quite chaotic at the moment, that's why we definitely need the projects site :-)

I published a document with some details at http://pubsvn.ez.no/projects/plain_site_user/ezprojects/files

I'll upload the necessary class packages there too. Then you can test the solution and give us any remarks you have.

I will also publish a forum for this project on the demo site so it's easier to keep track of any related discussions.

When i visited the files area I didnt see anything but clicking on the 'files' menu then showed the 'implementation details' file!

It's a design issue, the current template does not show any children.

Keeping the discussions on the project site is a good idea, imho. Keeping it self-hosted as much as possible will greatly help development.

Btw, how are you handling the cache. Is it all turned off for development? If not how would a developer get the cache cleared? :)

It was not my intention to let the contributors work on the demo site. They can just checkout the code and use it on a local eZ publish installation.

I've had a read of your document and looking through the svn there is a lot of work to do before the site is usable with all features.

We can start with some features (subversion, forums, files) and add others later.

If eZ are collaborating can we use their current bug system, or perhaps integrate with their new system? Are eZ developing their own system?

I have no idea what they think about it and if they have made a decision. I mailed Sandro and Lukasz a few days ago but did not get any response so far.

From your last comment Im not sure if you need help to develop the system. How would you like this to proceed?

We will give access to our project (svn repository etc.) to people who want to contribute. We can discuss development details on the project forums. As soon as new code in the repository can be considered stable then I'll update the demo site with it.
