@a_zed, @kobojunkie, @all,
I must say i'm impressed with you guys for pushing on with this project, you've truly earned my respect. sad i'm not a part of it, (terribly busy) but i'm with you guys "in spirit".

@A_zed, I think I have enough data at this point, for us to move forward.

Sorry all for the time away. I just relocated to a new country and i'm trying to settle down. I'll go through the last post and i should make a serious comment regarding the project.

Ps since data is available thanks to kobo, lets suggest a language/framework.
I'm comfortable with vb.net and php, beginner level with python, java and C#

Wait is this a desktop or a web application ?

It's a web app.
Re: [Project] 2012 Summer Of Code - WORK HAS COMMENCED by gozzilla(m): 10:05am On Jul 12, 2012
@xterra

I believe it is a web application.

@A_zed

You can create a poll. Let the most active guys in the post vote on which language they will like to go with. For me I say the option should be between java and python. But again that is my choice.

A_zed have you got time on your hand so we can talk.
Re: [Project] 2012 Summer Of Code - WORK HAS COMMENCED by Kobojunkie: 12:57pm On Jul 12, 2012
@A_zed, you need to make yourself more available here. We are here to help bring your dream to light and we would really appreciate it, if you get more involved and help move this forward, faster.

yeah we can talk.

I will be more available from now....
Re: [Project] 2012 Summer Of Code - WORK HAS COMMENCED by Kobojunkie: 1:51pm On Jul 13, 2012
Good to know. I went ahead with the idea of building a data service to serve the data that we hope to put together. I am still data transform work but data that I am 70% ok with, I will make available via the service should anyone need it. The service is built using WCF .NET technology with SQL Server on the back.

Please put together plans on how to build the client application so we can get people who have been waiting, working on that piece at least.

I will work on that.

@Kobo
Are you using vb.net or C# for the service?

I built it using C#. Since the messages could be soap or XMl, it does not really matter what technology you chose for the client application. Also, in .NET you can use various languages, for instance. The Service is in C# but the unit test is in VB.NET.

does it mean that anyone can write a client in any language and pull data from your service?

Technically, it does. But would I really want to let ANYONE use my data? undecided

I see...

Kobo, I thought that was the long term plan to make this data accessible to many.
So what's the way forward

gozzilla: Kobo, I thought that was the long term plan to make this data accessible to many.

Well, yes, but for now, the data cannot be said to be correct data so making it available to people now would be serving them data we are not 100% of. Like I said, what I have is probably 70% guaranteed to be correct. There is still the 30% to be taken care of that would imply having to comb through it all bit by bit after we are done with extracting it, and that will take some serious time.

By the way, how far have you gotten with the one you are working one? do you have anything I can merge into this?
Re: [Project] 2012 Summer Of Code - WORK HAS COMMENCED by gozzilla(m): 3:03pm On Jul 14, 2012
I should send it in this evening when I get home. An sql dump of the data ( I used mysql).

Since you already have it in SQL, can you send me a script of what you have then? I am working with SQLServer, and can more easily run the script on my database and then convert it all into portable CSV.

@kobo
I would write the client but i need to know the public methods of data service.

ps i know you don't want private im's but i would like to contact you.
Re: [Project] 2012 Summer Of Code - WORK HAS COMMENCED by AZeD1(m): 11:19pm On Jul 16, 2012
If anybody is interested in working on the project let me know. You don't have to be a programmer.
Re: [Project] 2012 Summer Of Code - WORK HAS COMMENCED by gozzilla(m): 10:44am On Jul 17, 2012
@A-zed

I think I will have to send you the dump, to send it directly to @kobo. The stuff is not attaching here. And yes just go ahead with the next task.

The service is not online, and you will have to decide later on how you want to handle that, so for now we can simply mock a connection to data in the application. Also, please consider the question asked below. . .

harryobas: @kobojunkie Do u have a sort of baseline architecture for this project that can serve as a quick learning aid for interested developers who which to know more about the project with a view of joining the project at some point.

the software should get budgets from server that are in pdf formats and present them in a structured format to the user?
It should have a library?
Should know unread and already read?
Users should be able to comment and mark budgets as executed or not?
Should be able to convert between formats(this should probably exist on server tho)?
Re: [Project] 2012 Summer Of Code - WORK HAS COMMENCED by ektbear: 7:05am On Jul 19, 2012

I think the question mark means.. Have those options been considered? If those options have not been considered then it should be given consideration
