LFS WebControl

Since we are planning to release an alpha version (Phenol) in mid-march, we are looking for dedicated testers (LFS Teams, server hoster etc) who woud like to support this project by testing, finding bugs and submitting improvement suggestions.

If you are interested, send your application to lfswebcontrol [at] gjl-network.net and tell us some details about you:

• Some words about you
• How can we contact you
• Are you testing for yourself, with a LFS team or are you a server hoster?
• Any InSim / Programming knowledge? (of course not required)
• Your test environment (root server, PHP-able webspace, PHP version)

We really hope that this call may find your interest and are really looking forward for your applications

The first milestone has now been post poned often and now, the current date is only 2 weeks away. While reviewing some parts of the project I decided to adhere to our first milestone. Therefore this means that on February 02, 2009 a first pre-alpha version will be ready.

This version will still be a very basic version but the goal is to contain all the basic InSim remote controlling features. It will not contain a setup assistant and no FTP access and it will also be no publically available release (except when downloading a SVN snapshot). But when we can keep that milestone, this is a sign, that the project continues well and we achieved a first goal.

One optional thing we are planning for this milestone: a demo system for you to get a first look into LFS WebControl. The next version then will be the full Alpha version codenamed Phenol which will be publically released.

First of all, we would like to wish everyone a happy new year. Yeah, I know, the year is already 15 days old but I hope that doesn't matter. This posting should more or less say that we're still alive and this project isn't dead.

We know that the progress is going slow but will not end this project without delivering a good version for you. We spent too much blood, sweat and tears to let this project die. The problem still is, that we don't have much free time at the moment, but I can say that there will be some process again in the next weeks.

Hope you stay with us and enjoy the upcoming news.

From now on our repository has a new structure. All external libraries etc. have been moved to a seperate folder "/external_libraries/". All sources of our project have been moved to "/sources/".

This was need to make a checkout of our repository without for example Zend Framework or Prototype. Besides the fact that this is the much cleaner and better way, it also has the advantage of not disturbing our ohloh.com software metrics with code that is not being written by us.

However those "externals" will be checked out, too, since they have been linked as svn externals. So if you wish to get the sources for LFS WebControl you should check out from https://lfswebcontrol.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/lfswebcontrol/sources/

Yepp, we did it! We finally start this as our new project homepage since nothing of that kind did exist before for this project.

So, what can be found here in the future?

• News about LFS WebControl
• Links to our downloads
• Links to our project tracker etc.
• Tutorials, Help, FAQ etc.

This site is going to be our central point of this project
