This blog has been shifted to http://www.sahil.cc

Just a thought....

We could document the development of pragyan by setting up a wiki, just for that, on our lan.

Please comment...

Things to Remember

To make the following modules :

1. A picture gallery (For events such as laser show)
2. regms - registration management (To be used for making any kind of forms)
3. quizms - quizes
4. forum
5. article (a normal page)
6. tbms - a mangement system for mysql tables - a standardized way of displaying values in a table - for example, displaying results in quizms
   

All these moudules must be accessible from the main site builder. (Thats the main idea of having modules - a list of types of pages to choose from)

Please post your comments about any other types of pages you might think of to be useful.

Programming Ethics to be followed...

It is high time that we at Octa start following standard programming practices.

Two major steps to be followed this time during Pragyan coding are:

1. To develop pragyan using CVS.
2. To make use of the DOxygen documentation system for automatic documentation and will develop our code in accordance with the DOxygen system.

We will have to be absolutely sure that the above mentioned guidelines are followed before commencing any work.

Why we would make a new cms.....

Because we want extreme customisability.....

There are many open source cms available but - none of them supports the amount of customizability we require. Our aim here is to make a website which will be used only in the course event. But the cms available are built for web-site management. We don't want that. We want to host an event, that calls for rapid updates, browsing of online files, edited source code AND having a WYSIWYG editor at the same time, not to mention extensive support for features like quiz, report, user-management etc.

Of course if a cms is robust enough to be used in an event, it is definitely fit for hosting a website ;) ....
