May 2007

The project has finally started with Nicolas being 99% done with school and having received his first Google Inc. check.

For the people interested, I will be putting pretty much anything we do on this blog so everyone can stay in touch and stay up to date:

Here we go, first part is links about PHP6 and important notes, gotchas, general unicode information, etc.

PHP6 Links:

• Andrei's talk about unicoding with PHP6
• General PHP's internals + Unicode notes (README)
• Installing PHP6
• PHP6.0.0 Todo list
• Mailing list (PHP-DEV about PHP6)

Jaws Links:

• Jaws-PHP6 svn repository
• Current Jaws Repository (PHP4 Version)

TODO First Tasks:

• I would like to see a list of all the global variables and their respective files within the Jaws Project (GLOBALS['db'] in InitApplication.php for instance) and also show where it's used. Using a google document would be great for this.
• Next point is, I would like you to build a very simple UML design of the current architecture (Very simple (basic classes, inheritance quickly (You can do only one gadget for this design model))).
• Install PHP6 and give feedbacks on this
• Once you are done, contact me by emai, and we'll be ready to start thinking forward!

Many thanks to Google Inc. and Nicolas Berard-Nault for the work that he will be doing this summer.
