Forum OpenACS Development: Response to Open 4.6 items & project status

Collapse
Posted by Samir Joshi on
Hi Neophytos,
Myself and colleagues have worked on these :

FAQ
Wimpy Point
Glossary
Poll

Open 4.6 items
1. FAQ port to Postgres
2. Wimpy Point and Glossary : bug fixes
3. Wimpy-Point and glossary : XML import/export
4. Wimpy-Point : Printer -friendly view of presentation ( Thanks to Carl for suggestion) . Konequeror browse has print to PDF file feature, thus any presentation can be converted to single HTML or PDF file.

Notes :
1. Item #1 above is committed to 4.5 HEAD branch by Dan Chak for dotLRN. Before starting work on it I did not know Robert had the port for it. I think and ETP page per package on new site will help avoiding these kind of duplication.
2.No upgrade scripts required
3. Items # 2-4 are almost done and I can post changes in couple of days. Though I am not sure if you and community will like to include #3 above. In general, Dan W 's idea of having XML i/e generically from CR is facinating. We can have a mapping tool that can map a particular DTD/schema to CR data model. There is a post in this thread by a Sydeney Uni. student - Sandhya - that she wants to work on ETP export/import on similar lines : https://openacs.org/bboard/q-and-a-fetch-msg.tcl?msg_id=0005Ws&topic_id=15&topic=dotLRN%20Development)
