AJ reported back that the configuration system is finished, |
| 8 |
and has been fully documented in a seperate document. Paul |
| 9 |
informed the group about the database bits he did, and the |
| 10 |
changes to the filter setup. Ash said the Java host should |
| 11 |
be checked into CVS later on. Tim told the group that the |
| 12 |
TCP parts of the Filter were complete, and the whole system |
| 13 |
was in a working as it stood. |
| 14 |
|
| 15 |
An issue was raised about the use of /experimental and |
| 16 |
/source in the CVS repository. There was some confusion |
| 17 |
between the group members over what should be put in each |
| 18 |
section. |
| 19 |
|
| 20 |
It was agreed that code which would be part of the product |
| 21 |
would be put into /source, whilst /experimental would be |
| 22 |
used for seperate bits of code - generally those testing an |
| 23 |
idea before it gets merged into the overall system. |
| 24 |
|
| 25 |
Next the group reviewed the current state of the code. |
| 26 |
Everyone seemed happy with how things stood, and everyone |
| 27 |
got a good understanding of how the whole system went |
| 28 |
together. |
| 29 |
|
| 30 |
It was decided that Tim should try and put together some |
| 31 |
coding standards based on ones used previously. These should |
| 32 |
be adapted to suit the current situation, and then be |
| 33 |
presented to the group. Once agreed, all code will be |
| 34 |
checked to ensure adherance to the standards. |
| 35 |
|
| 36 |
The database was another issue raised. It would soon be |
| 37 |
necessary to ensure all data is logged into the database, |
| 38 |
and this requires some database design and planning. Paul |
| 39 |
agreed to put together a design for the database for review |
| 40 |
by the group. He also plans to look into, and implement, the |
| 41 |
java side of the database connectivity, and the PHP user |
| 42 |
interface. |
| 43 |
|
| 44 |
Before the next meeting Ash will have checked in the Java |
| 45 |
host, and it should at least be able to send data to the |
| 46 |
server. Paul will have a database design, and maybe some |
| 47 |
documentation for the XML data. AJ will generate some more |
| 48 |
documentation, and a nicer version of the GUI-based logger. |
| 49 |
Tim will patch up a few of the missing bits around the |
| 50 |
server, and produce some coding standards and logging |
| 51 |
documentation. |
| 52 |
|
| 53 |
The next meeting will be on Wednesday afternoon after the |
| 54 |
meeting with Ian. Meeting room is booked 3pm to 5pm. |
