Who is working on fixing the module dev right now?
As really if we are going to make it what we need as a few of us have been discussing via IM………. Then it needs making into a full module repository and fixing centre in one go…it doesn’t need to be as it was before, yet refined loads to make it much better:::
1) A full repository for all our modules (hosting files on the server that the Foundation owns for us) + maybe using Sourceforge as backup to clean up the system and keep all items in one place.
2) Much more functional error reporting system and commenting for us to use on development and discussions for improvement (releases on the News can then be for glory and not as an error reporting system).
3) Clean and easier management system as to act as a full repository (each item from this point can have a description like before, yet more interactive where items get fixed and bugs and patches are easily submitted……. and not when you ask, you are told to wait and find the original author….fixes are there to improve user functionality for all and sometimes module authors are no longer around to ask.
4) Clear and informative up to date manual and development guidelines for incorporation of modules into the XOOPS system…now though this could be on a XOOPS Wiki, it needs direct linking in one place (so people can post and then edit code for improvements before acceptance into either module or core).
5) SVN copy of modules built in as to see latest development and fixes implemented into a working module, which can then be downloaded directly by any user. Anyways loads more on this wish list, yet if we aim this way rather then backwards anymore, then perhaps we might get some work done around here….
