JavaROSA Tanzania Conference 2009
Coders Corner Outcomes
- J2MERosa is happy to be dependent on Polish.
- Going to try to get the formdef model to work in "picoRosa" (core +
new code). If that fails, we will use epihandymobile as the starting
point for "picoRosa" that runs on low end devices
- low-end device means: 256kb jar / 600kb heap CLDC 1.0 MIDP 2.0
- Put the names of XForms in XHTML
- Single JAR built for the JavaRosa Core
- automated testing to make sure that xform parsing gets obfuscated out
- eclipse environment will also show any changes with modularity
- Repository restructure and generating JARs. (see JARs.rtf)
- Breaking RMS (without an upgrader) is a major version change
- Each JAR is versioned.
- Community only releases set of JARs together. Zip up JARs and release them all at once.
- All 11 candidates are part of the steering committee
- Reasonable response time to proposals is expected (unless vacation etc...)
- We will use review-board for code review
- Definition: JavaRosa is a brand name used for funding purposes.
- Definition: JavaRosa Core is a library published by the OpenRosa Consortium
- Definition: OpenRosa is a standards body.
- [devices] every minor release we run a standard javarosa-demo and fill out a table to know which devices work with which versions of javarosa
- Add support for <label lang="xxx"> for XForm internationalization
- Remove the JRSP. (replaced by individual services that are either singletons or factories)
- Use issue tracker on bitbucket
- Developer home is the JavaRosa wiki on bitbucket
- javarosa.org is public facing website for non-developers
TODO List for Developers
