The conflict merge went well last week, and I have a working copy of
|
||
|
|
openlp.org again. I've started the code cleanup, renaming various
|
||
|
|
components in the code, formatting the code to follow a certain standard
|
||
|
|
(rather than 3 different ones), and rearranging a few things as well in
|
||
|
|
the process. The goal behind the code cleanup is to make it easier and
|
||
|
|
faster to work on openlp.org, and to make openlp.org more efficient.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
What this all translates to at the end of the day is that you as the
|
||
|
|
user will find openlp.org faster and more efficient, and when we need to
|
||
|
|
make a change or an enhancement, it'll be faster too.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Once I've completed the code cleanup, I'm going to continue with my
|
||
|
|
rewrite of the control component, which will enable us to do things like
|
||
|
|
use the up and down cursor keys to change between slides.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
On that note, I know a number of folks have asked me for the components
|
||
|
|
so that they can make changes to openlp.org (I presume it's because
|
||
|
|
development is not happening fast enough for them, and they want certain
|
||
|
|
features for their church). Please chat with me and consider lending a
|
||
|
|
helping hand with the development. If you want feature A, I'm sure that
|
||
|
|
there are a number of other churches who also want feature A, and it
|
||
|
|
would be beneficial to them if you contributed that back to the project.
|
||
|
|
There are also a number of things you can and can't do with the current
|
||
|
|
codebase, and unless you chat with me and ask, you won't know and you'll
|
||
|
|
struggle unnecessarily (for instance, using the up and down cursor key
|
||
|
|
will only be possible after a rewrite of the control component).
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
In short, if you contribute back to openlp.org, not only do you benefit,
|
||
|
|
but others will too. You won't need to make changes to your version each
|
||
|
|
time a new version of openlp.org comes out, development will happen
|
||
|
|
faster, and others will benefit from your changes as well.
