With the development of openlp.org 2.0, and a new database format in
|
||
|
|
2.0, we are (obviously) going to be writing a converter to convert
|
||
|
|
databases from 1.0 format to 2.0 format. A little bit of discussion
|
||
|
|
around the converter in the IRC channel last night gave us a brilliant
|
||
|
|
idea: make the converter web-based.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Having a web-based converter means that we have a central converter that
|
||
|
|
we can control, and things can happen instantly and in one place. This
|
||
|
|
means that the bugs you find will be fixed fairly quickly. It also means
|
||
|
|
that we can add features easily, and you don't have to download yet
|
||
|
|
another application or upgrade your existing application.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
As of this moment, I haven't started working on the converter yet, but
|
||
|
|
it will be my main priority over the next while, as we developers need
|
||
|
|
it to migrate our own existing databases!
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
That's all for now, God bless!
