Re: [kDev] Why KendraBase?...



Hi Phillip,

Answering your email (by permission) sent direct to me...

I guess all I can say to your last comments is please wait and see, I think you'll be presently surprised. We've done a lot of work specifying what we need the final product to be able to do (defining the job). Do you think we've done a bad job of that?

We're being quite structured with our roll out. And I think it will be flexible enough for our needs in the future.

Yesterday, by chance, met with another group of developers with very similar concepts. So, I think we're on the right track.

Hope to get you something to see soon.

Cheers Daniel

Hi Phillip,

I've been looking at the PHP-Nuke setup. Just one question so far: when I want to send out a newsletter is there any way of choosing from a number of subsets of the total member list? I mean can I send email to only those in the UK or only those that came to the last meeting as I can do now with the current setup?

I've never used the newsletter section in php-nuke but I'd guess it just emails everyone on the list. You'll need to customise it a bit to filter (shouldn't take long).

I have been taking sneak looks at http://actionapps.org/ looking at how they handle form building. Have you ever come across this package? It seems flexible.

Never seen that one in particular but seen dozens like it. It depends on what you want in the final product. Start simple (eg phpnuke) and then upgrade when you know what features you are lacking. If you try and fit everything in at the beginning (a) you'll never get it off the ground and (b) you'll find out 6 months down the line how horribly wrong you were about what you actually needed.

Define the job and find the tools to do it, not find some tools and then work out what job you can do with them.

Phillip.
