Minutes of meeting 27/11/00 @ 2pm Location: UKC Computer Science Meeting Room Present: ab11, ajm4, pjm2, tdb1 Absent: None AJ reported back that the configuration system is finished, and has been fully documented in a seperate document. Paul informed the group about the database bits he did, and the changes to the filter setup. Ash said the Java host should be checked into CVS later on. Tim told the group that the TCP parts of the Filter were complete, and the whole system was in a working as it stood. An issue was raised about the use of /experimental and /source in the CVS repository. There was some confusion between the group members over what should be put in each section. It was agreed that code which would be part of the product would be put into /source, whilst /experimental would be used for seperate bits of code - generally those testing an idea before it gets merged into the overall system. Next the group reviewed the current state of the code. Everyone seemed happy with how things stood, and everyone got a good understanding of how the whole system went together. It was decided that Tim should try and put together some coding standards based on ones used previously. These should be adapted to suit the current situation, and then be presented to the group. Once agreed, all code will be checked to ensure adherance to the standards. The database was another issue raised. It would soon be necessary to ensure all data is logged into the database, and this requires some database design and planning. Paul agreed to put together a design for the database for review by the group. He also plans to look into, and implement, the java side of the database connectivity, and the PHP user interface. Before the next meeting Ash will have checked in the Java host, and it should at least be able to send data to the server. Paul will have a database design, and maybe some documentation for the XML data. AJ will generate some more documentation, and a nicer version of the GUI-based logger. Tim will patch up a few of the missing bits around the server, and produce some coding standards and logging documentation. The next meeting will be on Wednesday afternoon after the meeting with Ian. Meeting room is booked 3pm to 5pm.
