Re: [ecf-dev] ECF 3.0 project plan (in EF approved format)
|
Hi,
I have a question regarding the status of bulletin board API. I know
it's been quite a while since that hasn't seen any development (sorry),
but I just resurrected one of my projects that makes use of it and I
will be working on it *a little* anyway. Unfortunately, I can't give you
any specific estimate about when the code will be "done" (so I'm not
suggesting adding it to the plan). Could it still be included in ECF 3.0
in case I get it done early enough even if it's not in the plan? Or are
you still interested in the bulletin board API as part of ECF at all?
There is also a problem that may cause the bulletin board API providers
to require constant maintenance: as the forum software packages (phpbb,
vbulletin) are developed, they may easily break BB providers, as those
rely on screen scraping. So far, the actual changes needed due to this
have been quite small, but they happen at unpredictable times. Also, a
major new version of phpBB is out already and I haven't even looked at
how different it is.
Regards,
Erkki

Hi Folks,
I've created a first draft of the ECF 3.0 project plan in
foundation-approved xml format. See here:
http://www.eclipse.org/projects/project-plan.php?projectid=rt.ecf
There are plenty of things to change/fix...I'll leave it as an
exercise for the reader to help me find them :).
Note that the move to the runtime project is ongoing and I'm not sure
what the effect on the bugzilla entries will be over the next day or so.
If you have comments/criticisms/thoughts/etc please say so here. Also
if you identify simple edits and are a committer with access to the
web documentation for ECF please feel free to make them in <ecf
documentation home>/plans/ecf.plan.3.0.xml
Thanks,
Scott
