Present: DB, TK, DW, DJ

State

• DJ has built the first page of the GUI which runs on Linux and Windows
• DJ discovered that the RELOAD source code needs de-buging, see comments below:

---

• Bug in "support-jar.xml"

There was a bug in this Ant build file that did not

create an essential "bin" directory. Phillip Beauvoir fixed this.

• Bugs in all "build.xml" files

I fixed this - essentially the file structure Bradford use for development is different to that in the CVS repository. So RELOAD will not work out the box. This is an historic throw-back because changing the file structure would interfere with the way they have CVS set-up.

• Execution Limitation

In order for RELOAD to work you have to be in directory

<RELOAD_INSTALL_DIR>/reload/editor

• Needs User-Friendly Installation or Installation Documentation

All the preceeding bullet points were discovered by trial and error. An overall automated install/execution script OR a documented install/execution procedure would have been useful.

• This de-bug took a couple of days of DJs time

---

• DW has spoken to James Daizel about possible LAMs wizard (ongoing discussion)
• DW will meet Bill Olivier on 2004-12-20 to talk about WCKER producing IMS LD XML in RELOAD

Discussion

• Now need to get a working copy of the Reload source
• Need to 'gather our thoughts'
• Looking for further funding
• Talking to the Canadians about next steps
• Coding style

Outcomes

• DJ and DB to work on producing the first couple of 'pages' of the WCKER using an instance of the WCKER schems
• TK, to gather our thinking together in a short report
• TK to look for two other reconised course formates to test the relevance of the schema
