This is probably going to be the last post before I can actually start working on the source again!
SPAM
In my battle against SPAM, I took another measure to protect the forum and bug tracker from fake registrations and bug reports by adding CAPTCHA to the forum registration page and the bug report page. This is going to save me some time, I was a little bit fed up with having to remove fake registrations and bug reports. That time is better spent on adding new features!
Latest revision
I checked my development server for the latest revision of the source code and it seems that it is a little bit more recent (rev 39) than the source that is available online (rev 36). Just some minor changes though, mostly documentation related updates. I will synchronize those soon. Speaking of synchronization, I’m thinking of using a SourceForge Subversion repository. That way it will be more accessible and centralized.
The todo list and roadmap are still in sync with the latest revision. I might as well add all the items on the todo list (and roadmap) to the bugtracker as feature requests. This will give them status and if others want to join in they can see what is assigned and what is not.
Working installation
The current installation of IRC Collective on my development server is up to date and working! It has not ‘assimilated’ any IRC logfiles for the past 15 or 16 months, but other than that it is still working!
Eclipse workspace
Setting up the Eclipse workspace was not as easy as I though it was going to be. Turns out I used NFS to share my home directory on the development server. The Eclipse workspace was stored within this directory. It required some additional software to be installed on my workstation before I could mount the NFS share again. Luckily the workspace was compatible with the version of Eclipse I have currently installed.
Reboot complete!
That’s it! I can start developing again…
