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
