it is just that everybody till now tried to commit his complete "kitchen sink".

Well, the tool is not that intuitive to handle...
BTW, I synced my german translation of the GUI to the server quite a while ago - I always thought that it worked well without syncing everything else... maybe I should check that again  ;)

Tschak has successfully commited parts of his MAME stuff, we also have the DCS5300G from D-Link in there, and a partly working Marantz template.

I can confirm that I was able to pull Tschak's MAME stuff from the server, at least some screens appeared in HADesigner.

sqlCVS isn't working at the moment anyway, is it??!!
I noticed that the web interface (http://www.linuxmce.org/sqlCVS/) doesn't work because of some missing access rights ("Access denied for user 'root'@'localhost' (using password: YES)/Access denied for user 'www-data'@'localhost' (using password: NO)") but the sqlCVS server should be working...? At least I triggered an update two days ago without getting any errors.

Well, I think, Thom is not referring to Funambol at all when he says "wasting time". He is talking about proper implementation of the LMCE wrapper parts for some calendaring system instead. Funambol itself is no calendar system but only a sync server. As Thom pointed out before (please correct me if I'm wrong...), this includes

 * Orbiter screens
 * Calendar plugin
 * Calendar engine (this could be some sort of existing calendar server)

I think before starting to code something, we should have a short brainstorming on what we would like to achieve with the new feature, i.e. collect some use-cases. I'll start with some points, please add more or correct me

 * Storing events for every user and maybe for groups (familiy calendar, kids calendar etc.)
 * Events consisting of a title, description, time frame, location etc.
 * Event reminder pop-up screens
 * Display the user's calendar on the orbiter (different views: day, week, month)
 * Detailed view of an event => creating new events, modifying events, deleting events
 * Overlaying the user's calendar with his group calendars
 * Show a "what's next" screen with upcoming events
 * React to invitations

Any other ideas? Since this is already quite a bunch of stuff, we should take it easy and try a step-by-step approach, maybe starting with the quite simple event reminder pop-ups (which could be extended by bulek's speech announcements).

I don't think mixing systems (SyncML/iCal) is a very good idea. My experience is that you usually get problems when trying to convert between the systems a do a sync through a chain of components, e.g., SyncML server -> Outlook (via SyncML) -> convert to iCal -> Outlook sync connector. You usually get duplicated events, malformed data etc.

I proposed Funambol as a backend server for syncing because it already provides connectors for numerous systems, e.g. Outlook, mobile phones etc. If we really need to implement a new calendar engine for handling events the LMCE way, it should not make a big difference wether it supports iCal or SyncML...

BTW, another benefit of using Funambol would be the possibility to sync other data, too, e.g., contacts.

Bulek,

I've tried demo web interface and also scenarios and events handling capabilities...

can you send me a link to that demo? It seems I can find it on their web page.

I spent some thought about working on the current webadmin to get it a little more user friendly. Currently my plans are going in the direction of setting up something like a java application sever with ICEFaces or some other nice frontend. My intention is to make Webadmin a tool every user (not only the admin) can use easily, e.g., the media tagging would need some attention etc.
What do you guys think? Is it worth investigating this possibility or will the java app server be to heaviy for the system?

Regards,
Chriss

Just search for the page title you would like to create and you should be presented a site with a link to create that page (if it doesn't exist yet)

Hi Bulek,

I'm currently checking out Funambol (www.funambol.com/opensource) for my company. It provides good synchronization support (calendar, contacts, notes, emails...) between different devices, e.g. Outlook, Thunderbird/Lightning/Sunbird, mobile phones, PDAs etc. Funambol is no groupware but a pure SyncML synchronization server. If you have a nice groupware that does not provide satisfy with its synchronization feature Funambol can be the link to your home computer and CE devices. I think it would be cool to have such a sophisticated synchronization mechanism inside LMCE.

Regards,
Chriss

Just committed the translation to sqlCVS. I guess somebody has to approve the batches before you can sync them to your system.

Are either of you interested in doing some language files for the web admin? It already has a language system in place

Well, in fact I started to translate parts of it some time ago. I'll try to finish the files and create a patch for the web admin.

What about the languagefiles? Any suggestions?

Igor, I already did a German retranslation quite some time before. It is filed in mantis (http://mantis.linuxmce.org/view.php?id=3824). Only a few days ago I discovered that there is a message from valentin that I should check on the impact on sqlCVS, so I'm currently checking what I have to do to get that translation commited into the sqlCVS repository.

Anyway, if you have any improvements to the translation, you are very welcome to add them to the mantis ticket.

Cheers

There are some incosistencies with character encoding. See http://www.charonmedia.org/pipermail/lmce-dev/2008-January/000214.html on the dev mailing list on how to work around this. I did also file a mantis ticket inlcuding the instructions for integrating my german translation.

As soon as the Device and Template tables have more relations mapped, it'll be helping me directly.

Ok, I can go on with these tables. Tomorrow I'm going to be on the train for a couple of hours, i.e. I can work on that stuff.

Any luck with the remaining 60%?

Unfortunately I didn't have that much time during the last week. I can tell you, this is quite a time consuming task ;)
You can watch the current status: http://www.schleiffer.net/linuxmce/pluto_main.png
I'll keep working on that beast and will upload it to the wiki as soon as I'm done.

Hi,

it seems that all those links to the manual are not up-to-date. Does anybody have a working link or can maybe send the manual via PM?

Thanks,
