Hi folks!
Ok, its weekend and I am not hacking much over weekends. But I still wanted to give you all a quick status from my perspective.
We will do a test deployment at Micronic during the coming week and then we aim at going live with a first group the week after. This will obviously be a limited Gjallar version, but we still think we have enough functionality to satisfy this first small specific group.
So the next week I will be focusing on details, bug fixing and I also want to do some small performance tweaks and add some smaller features. I hope to be able to set up a more complete test of the txn model - rebuilding a db by simply applying all txns in series. Making sure this works is a good precaution for doing future migrations to new Gjallar versions.
As it looks today I will only be left working full time on Gjallar until the 16th. After that I am off to another customer and a totally different job for at least 3 months. But I will keep working on Gjallar "on the side" and we do have several leads to follow that might generate more paid work on it further down the road - from the Hosit conference here in Stockholm there were a bunch of seriously interested people. Toolkit is dedicated to move Gjallar forward the best we can.
I will also work paid support hours on Gjallar from now on, then we will see what happens at Micronic over the next months and how they plan to move forward.
The promised 0.3 release is very, very close - I will make sure it gets done during the coming week.
regards, Göran
Hi Göran,
thanks for Info! Now, what bothers me is how wie could organize a little bit what is to do and who want to do something and what. I think it is not necessary to make a complete project plan, but to be aware what work would be good to get done might help. As far as I know, Brian Brown looks now for the port, I can do something (if it is not time critical :-), and there are others (Herbert etc......)
My suggestion is: to wait for the 0.3, and then collect a list of things to do. To have that if you leave the full time Gjallar work would be nice ;-) As medium I would suggest your Gjallar wiki.
Regards
Hans

I definitely agree.

I will start such a list and try to make a sketchy plan forward - based on my own feeling of what are "the next steps". But this is mainly to show my ideas - it does not imply that we need to follow it. Everyone should ideally scratch their own itch. :)

PS. One thing needed is some kind of approach for the back button. I have completely ignored it so far and I am also not that versed in dealing with it properly. If anyone would like to tackle this I would be most grateful. :)
