Re: Weekly News & Status Report

[Jason Pincin <chardros@linuxkb.org>]

Jason's Status Report:

Massive updates to functions.php3 and finally a Commit.  This is the last
major functions commit before go-live.  Everything crucial is in place.

Updates to DB structure to handle new Security system - Mainly the
addition of "Permissions" as a table.

1st LinuxKB Developers Conference was hosted by myself at The Networks
Facilities.  There will be a longer email coming out shortly summarizing
the activities, but for the purpose of news:
Lots of learning took place.  I think I cleared up a lot for Chris Buzby
and Dan.  Some outlining of where we're going, and what our milestones
are.  The order in which we'll be getting forms done, esp. now that
functions.php3 is behind me.  And some thought on how to correct some
current Page-Design display problems.  Lots of marker board diagrams and
work flows going on :).

Thats all for now.
