Worldgroup Rebuild - What Stays and What Goes?

Post by jtolar »

If a new version of Worldgroup was to be built from the ground up, what would you keep and what would you ditch?

My keep list :
  • Basic Internet Servers (Httpd, nntpd, ftpd, telnetd, rlogind)
    Accounting - For Pay models
    Teleconference
    File Libraries
    Forums
    Web Support (a modern web interface)
My Ditch List:
  • BTRIEVE - FIRST THING TO GO!
    C/S Mode [maybe an add on or phase 2 project]
Your List?
[/list]

Baselines
======
Account Display/Edit
Electronic Mail
File Libraries
Forums
Teleconference
Rlogin Server
Telnet Server
SMTP Server
HTTP Server
Finger Server
IRC Server
FTP Server

all of these module interact with each other from terminal mode and the web site, so people in teleconference on the web site see people in teleconference on the temrinal connection.

Cross platform for OSX/Win/Linux 32&64 bit.

SqLite database (as default) since it is lightweight and cross platform? But of course you can change the database to other database platforms (I know you like MySql and I am a MSSql guy).

As you said baseline version 1 is terminal and web.

oh no SQLite is my thing, i have been using it in all my new addons, i worked with netvillage to bring mysql to wg and we did a good job but for what we got here we do not need no client/engine type of thingy, sqlite is embedded, lightweight, and fast.
