 With unlimited seats and join via a web link or from a web page or e mail.

Subject: The TurboCASH Roadmap
 
1) The TurboCASH Developers List
2) The GNU GPL
3) Developer Collaboration

"He who receives an idea from me receives it without lessening me, as he who lights his candle at mine receives light without darkening me." - Thomas Jefferson

Malcolm don't be scared to use the developers list (I did remove you from it at your instruction). The members of the turb...@googlegroups.com list are here because they WANT to follow what we are doing. Members of this list can opt for Consolidated Digest Mail, Web only interface or remove themselves whenever they like. The tendency in a project of this nature is for people to form into fragments. We have to keep avoiding this and getting them back onto the Highway that is what the Roadmap is about.

My Late Econometrics Professor, Geet deWet gave me this Tip about Research. He said - "Spend 20% of your time revising and documenting your work.". If you spend all your energy pressing the boundaries of knowledge, eventually you put your head up, take a look around and you don't know where you are. So once a week spend 1 day, not going forward, but consolidating (A bit like doing your accounts in TurboCASH). I take this one step further I spend one week an month and on month per year doing this. It works for me - try it.

Each of us working separately does not help the Group or the Project.  - Read my Book "Death of the Hero Programmer".
--------------------------------------------------------------------
I am not avoiding you on the licencing, I just don't understand it.

What you are suggesting looks to me like a whole lot of complicated work. When there are similar things like making sure that every label is translated -  that will buy us more  punch in the market. Rather concerntrate on getting all the labels into the program is a similar text exersise. Create specilised Australian reports in Reportman. These are the things that  will count.

Please take my lead here - I have spent $ 100 000's on trademark and copy right. I am also fully aware of the pitfalls and traps. I have been to the Supreme Court of SA,  where I have spend huge money on this. Don't look for licencing issues - they will find us. Right now we don't have any - lets keep it that way.

Here is my offer - I have received your stuff, I see it, I prioritise to put straight development ahead of it. Both Sylvain and Pieter are critical resources. Let us use them for the things that I regard as priority. Once we have subversion fully functional we can deal with this. Noone other than you is hassling me about the licence.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
I agree with you about the Sourceforge, however we need to set up a collaborative system. We need to balance ease of use with the tendency to randomness. Sourceforge is the leader in this field, yet there are many of the bigger projects that opt our of using their technology. I think we should take a look at this. The Module owner for Project structuring on TurboCASH is Jan Verlaan. He has a career of experience at this. Please let us follow his suggestions.

We also have an ulterior motive for using Sourceforge, their policy is that use of their tracking system raises you up their rankings. We want to be up their rankings!

Jan - a number of developers and testers complain about the complexity of  entering a bug or feature ticket on Sourceforge. This is particularly true of the larger contributors who are dealing with many in a day. I am suggesting the Wiki as a means of  collaboration.

I have set this up to begin for TurboCASH 4

I have already been working with Pieter on it !!

I CAN compile but there is a number of bugs that he is fixing.

I did not want to bore everybody so sent the list direct to Pieter.

I know.... Use sourceforge to report bugs.  This way is more direct
Until we get a stable product.

I even have TC4 running from a Windows SBS2003 Server !!

Please answer my request to include "Exhibit A" in source files.
