Hello all,
Because of a screwup on my part, address@hidden isn't accepting my
emails (they've cached a bad lookup for my mail), jivera has agreed to
forward this for me. Please reply either to the list, or
address@hidden
Its time for me to release some plans on what I intend to do with
gnuarch.org
Short term plans
----------------
1. Build pages to allow the creation of archive objects
2. Build pages to allow the creation of arch user objects
3. Build pages to allow the creation of category (useful for desc.)
4. Build pages to allow the creation of branch (useful for desc.)
5. Build pages to allow the creation of version (useful for desc.)
(the list goes on to infinity -- this is a good start)
Some loose plans:
----------------
1. I plan to automagically populate the archive objects with the info I have
available
2. I plan to automagically populate the arch user objects
3. Where possible, I will automatically populate the owner relationship
between archive and user.
4. Initially anybody will be able to edit anything. When things have
slown down, I'll turn on authentication.
What I'm asking for at this point.
---------------------------------
1. Somebod(y|ies) with a better fashion sense than I visit the free web
template sites and find something that has mass appeal.
2. More people to review the schema. Don't be scared of it!* If you look it
over for more than a couple minutes, it'll be self explanatory. Is it
worth it to be able to store phone numbers and addresses in user
objects? What other data would you guys like to see stored? Are there
objects out there that we may want to represent in the future? Changing
schemas after the fact is moderately painful, so its MUCH better to
add plenty of extra fields and objects that are even rarely used.
3. More participation! Things can only be as open as the number of people
that help out.
** gao stands for "GnuArch.Org". LDAP attributes and objects share a
global namespace, so most references encourage using a prefix that is
reasonably unique to the organization.
Here is a 19 line mini-howto for schemas.
____A globally unique identifier. #OID
/ is assigned by IANA
