Updated OAL 2.1 posted

[Phyllis]

All,

The OAL project repository was updated today with a change in namespace. It now points to groups.google.com as it did prior to April 2015. This may not affect your systems, but the latest schema should be used for production systems.

Hi all,

thanks for restoring the namespace.

I think, we should agree on a few important points:

• Before changing anything, first ask the group
• If a version is released, it's "forever" and must not be changed
• In case we feel the need for a change and have agreed on it, a new version is to be used
• To support the users of our apps, we should try to provide a transform for the upgrade. This won't be possible in any case (new mandatory fields with no sensible default, ...), but we should at least consider it.

Last but not least, please take my apologies for being so lame with answers. My workload in the professional job is quite intense. Not enough, my mother passed away some months before and there is so much to do. All this means, very often I'm just too tired to turn on a computer if I can avoid it.

Different topic, @Wim: once I tried to upload observations into DeepSkyLog. There was an error if the observations contained such with non deep sky objects (planets, comets). When I filtered this stuff away, import worked fine. Maybe you can adapt DeepSkyLog to simply ignore what is not supported as the targetType?

Best wishes and clear skies

Tom

Hi Tom,

I agree with your points. In retrospect, we should have taken a little more care with the move from Google Code to GitHub, but I think we are where we need to be now.

I'm sorry to hear of your Mother's passing. I wish you the best in a sad and difficult time.

Hello Thomas,

I’m in the process of going through the code of the OAL import and that’s exact one of the things I want to do. 

A lot of strength after the passing of your mother and hope that you have some more time very soon!

Cheers,

Wim
