[Ldsoss] Advancement tracker

2006-06-20 Thread Thomas Haws
I'd like to think a little more about the first draft requirements of the Advancement Tracker Tom Welch asked about.Suppose one of us or some of us were starting on a shoestring, maybe at the SourceForge site offered. I am wondering, irrespective of the language, and obviously platform agnosticism is essential, what the inital stab at an open source Advancement tracker might want to look like to the end user.
Should we start with a Troopmaster clone? Is that what Tom Welch has in mind?Then should we plan for possible connection/synchronization to a central repository a la MLS? And multiple languages and advancement programs?

 XUL (pronounced zool) is Mozilla's XML-based user interface language
 that lets you build feature rich cross-platform applications that can
 run connected to or disconnected from the Internet. These applications
 are easily customized with alternative text, graphics, and layout so
 they can be readily branded or localized for various markets. Web
 developers already familiar with Dynamic HTML (DHTML) will learn XUL
 quickly and can start building applications right away.

I think you're on to something.  I've wanted to learn XUL before but
never had a project to learn it on.  The Wikipedia article on XUL seems
to be a good place to start.
