Minutes of meeting 12/03/2001 @ 2pm
Location: UKC Computer Science Meeting Room
Present: ab11, ajm4, pjm2, tdb1
Today's meeting again focussed on documentation. Paul reeled
off a list of documents he had completed, and that were now
available in cvs. These were mainly to do with the ihost and
xml data layout.
AJ had made a start on the Conient docs, although there was
still a way to go. Tim hadn't started on documentation,
mainly because he was still trying to sort the server bugs.
Ash was yet to start documenting due to assignments.
Documentation will be kept in cvs under
documentation/printable. Time has ensured that .doc files
will automatically be checked in as binary format.
It was again stressed that time was short, and that we
needed to get moving on the documenting. Paul pointed out
that the maintenance documentation took a lot longer for
ihost than he imagined, and thought this would be the case
elsewhere.
Aside from documentation, the webpages were discussed. Paul
had, over the week, put together a php page that clearly
laid out the data sent out by the server. This gives a
virtually realtime view of the data coming through the
system. This still needed tweaking, and linking with the
historical side however. The alerting webpages were still to
be done, although Tim pointed out that the server side was
"ready" but exact formatting needed to be discussed.
The group left the meeting to quiz Ian about memory leak
issues. He didn't, unfortuantely, have a "magic wand"
solution, but put forward a few suggestions. These will be
looked in to.
There will be a meeting with Ian at 2.15pm on Wednesday, and
the usual meeting on Monday at 2.15pm. There may be an extra
meeting in the week if required.
