Ping from the basement

Attila and I am sitting in the basement of building 305 on the DTU Campus, trying to plan the day ahead: We have to rename classes, methods and fields in the existing codebase to match the glossary of our fresh domain model.
This domain model has been created in a collaborative effort between the ten DTU students that will leave for Austria in March; but now the eight other students have all been assigned to the other universities projects.


Like all great projects, we used napkins for drafting the design diagram.




So the current status of the project is: We have created some design documents i.e. the technical plan containing the domain model and descriptions of the desired features. These have to be revisited some time soon, to be ready for the developers that we will be meeting in 2½ weeks time. We have been meeting with the former lead of the original OpenARS project (Kim Rostgaard Christensen) - which turned out to be a valuable resource of inspiration for the project ahead.


First bug issue can be closed as fixed! Yay!
Attila was struggling with the qwebirc IRC webclient for the IRC server that we have set up on our virtual machine, it seemed to be timing out for strange and unknown reasons, we were suspecting that the pound proxy was killing the connections before the frontend expected a timeout so we adjusted the timeout in the qwebirc configuration to 10 secs, which seems to have solved the problem.


Until next blog post, you can take a look at our project management system trac, at trac.openarms.dk, here you can also take a look at the source-code as it is right now.
And please, make some noise (maybe just a simple pong) if you are reading this post - we already had 100 views on the first - so we know that you are out there!


Ttyl!
Kræn & Attila
