Case DB Final Release
Some minutes ago I have uploaded the final release of version 1 of OSS Central’s case database. It includes some bug fixes as well as new features:
- Fixed some layout bugs in older version of Internet Explorer (5, 5.5, 6.0)
- Added listing of all cases in the database with possibility to subscribe to an RSS feed so you can keep track of newly added cases without the need to subscribe to specific searches
- Added listing of a company’s products in the company viewer – this is relevant for companies that are vendors of OS software products used in the cases listed
- Added chart visualization to the “Explore Cases” page – you can e.g. generate a pie chart for industries covered in the case database
This will be the last feature-add release for a long time as other projects will occupy a lot of my time in 2009.
For those of you interested in facts & figures:
The whole Cases @ OSS Central project is based on PHP 5, MySQL and the latest Zend Framework release. It includes 28 database tables for connecting all the different information entities, parts of them not yet used. About 170 hours have been invested so far, the biggest part (about 120) for developing the application.
In the next weeks I will concentrate on adding content in form of products and cases.
