Mozilla Status UpdatesSaturday June 10th, 2000The Mozilla status update page, now maintained by Chris Blizzard, is a great resource to catch up on the state of Mozilla development. Old updates are archived, so you can see Mozilla's progress over time. The updates occur every two weeks, and this week Chris has updates from the XPToolkit, Mail/News, "Gecko XML+DOM", Composer, "Necko/Imglib", and OS/2 development groups, as well as status updates on the Mozilla Architecture meetings. you can see from te uodates, the the module owners send status updates *every* week. Would be nice, if the page updated weekly as well. Couldn't this process be automated somehow? I don't have anything against Chris handling it, but I'm wondering if it could be more up to date all the time? It could be a kind of news posting system. Every module owner could post news whenever he want. news.mozilla.org - many of the module owners post weekly updates to their respective newsgroups. How about a n.p.m.status-updates newsgroup that all module owners crosspost their status updates to? That way you can subscribe to that if you're interested in general status information even if you can't keep up with *every* individual component. Stuart. Yeah, we need some kind of status-news page where module owners and other developers can checkin their weekly bits of news. This could be realized with PHP and mySQL (Chris?). I'd love to see such a system... cu Tintsch I would be very willing to write such an application, if someone will put me in touch with the relevant parties. (using PHP & MySQL preferably) Lemming email: ian@lemnet.com web: http://www.lemnet.com We could use a newgroup as proposed in the other subthread (which is a good idea IMO) and then use a NNTP->WWW gateway to still display the status on the website (so visitors find it and see we're actually working :) ). |
