Roadmap

From Open Clip Art Library Wiki

This milestone documentation was started in November 2006.

In the Past, milestones for the Open Clip Art Library have been centred around the release of a Monthly (usually) package. However, as we have implemented the use of the new content engine, ccHost, the releases are going to become more dynamic and automated.

CURRENT - Milestone 0.19 - complete ccHost implementation

• Basic Conversion to ccHost
  • (DONE) Add Open Clip Art Library logo to header
  • (DONE) upload screenshots
  • (DONE) SVG support (ccHost uses getid3.sf.net for metadata, maybe we can push our needs upstream): http://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=1353648&group_id=80503&atid=559969
    • http://bryceharrington.org/module.graphic.svg.php.txt
    • Put your changes to support for SVG here using CVS

• Release Package for 0.19 (rejon)
  • figure out how to package up all clipart through brute-force

• Close out all critical / blocker bugs on https://bugs.freedesktop.org/buglist.cgi?product=openclipart.org (rejon, all, others)

• also, setup to send out notification to of create commits, openfontlibrary commits and openclipart to respective lists...
• Installation / Administration
  • Can we have cchost alter its own php settings instead of having to update them in php.ini? (rejon)
    • If so, set upload_max_filesize, post_max_size, max_execution_time, and max_input_time to good values for OCAL users (rejon)

Content

• theme of the month? any site service to scrape? (putyournamehere)
