As those who read this blog regularly will know, I've been looking for
|
||
|
folks to help me out with developing openlp.org. A lot of folks have
|
||
|
come forward and offered a range of different ways to help, including
|
||
|
actual application development, but no one has Delphi 7, and therefore
|
||
|
no one can help me with the development of openlp.org 1.2.
|
||
|
|
||
|
With this in mind, at the pitiful amount of progress I've made recently,
|
||
|
I asked the developer mailing list to vote on possibly shelving version
|
||
|
1.2 and moving straight on to 2.0.
|
||
|
|
||
|
The reasons I cited for dropping 1.2 are as follows:
|
||
|
|
||
|
- Only 1 person working on 1.2 (me)
|
||
|
- An ever-increasing team of currently about 5 people working on 2.0
|
||
|
(the cross-platform python version)
|
||
|
- A lot of work needs to go into 1.2, and about the same amount needs
|
||
|
to go into 2.0
|
||
|
- 2.0 is essentially going to be a copy of 1.2, just written in a
|
||
|
totally open source environment
|
||
|
|
||
|
The response I got was unanimous. Everyone agreed that my time and
|
||
|
effort would be better spent working on version 2.0 with everyone else,
|
||
|
rather than duplicating effort on 1.2. This means I am officially
|
||
|
shelving version 1.2, and we're moving ahead with 2.0.
|
||
|
|
||
|
Version 2.0 is being written in Python, using the Qt4 GUI Toolkit, and
|
||
|
PyQt4 to glue Python and Qt4 together. If you're interested in helping
|
||
|
out, please send me a private message.
|
||
|
|
||
|
I will be releasing another bugfix, version 1.0.2, as I mentioned in a
|
||
|
previous post, in the near future, so if you're having any problems with
|
||
|
1.0.1, see the bug report thread in the forums.
