> Dear colleagues,
>
> The ABCD Suite v.1 was launched in December 2009, and as you know by
> your participation in this list, tens of institutes have installed it
> either partially or completely, as a public application or as an
> internal development within the institution.
>
> During these 2 years several corrections and minor improvements on
> ABCD have been published as 'patches', evaluation workshops have been
> held, trainings have been organized in many countries, both in
> presential format and online.
>
> Anyway, the technology keeps advancing as well as the needs, so we
> understand that actualization of ABCD is necessary in a way that
> maintains compatibility with the technology, responding to new needs
> and adding new functions.
>
> We want to announce that we are about to launch an actualisation and
> updating project for ABCD, aiming to publish a version 2.0 mid 2012.
> We have already engaged about 10 professional experts of this list
> along with financial input from four institutes for some specialized
> programming assignments.
>
> But, since the project is large, we will again need the contribution
> and co-operation of all of you. As we did in the year 2009, when more
> than 80 persons from 21 countries have worked together very
> successfull, now we are calling to combine forces for the version 2.0
> of ABCD.
>
> Workplan
> ----------
> In this month March we will start registering volunteers who can spend
> part of their time to work on different tasks. We describe the
> elements needed under here.
> In a few days we will explain how to communicate and register for
> these activities, which will be divided in groups with a co-ordinator
> for each.
>
> Some of the tasks envisaged are :
> - Test the different modules in either Windows or Linux
> - Translation of messages for the new functions in several languages
> - Update online help-pages (or write new ones) to cover the new
> elements or work out examples
> - Translate these pages from Spanish or English into all four
> languages: Spanish, English, French, Portugese
> - Review the manuals and update them
> - We need tow or three programmers with experience in PHP, JavaScript
> and CSS to review and debug the new features of ABCD
> - We need one or two experts in Java
>
> We invite everybody who has installed ABCD, who is working with one or
> more of its modules and have had problems, to send us suggestions and
> reports on problems etc.
> Please don't send these to the list, we want to provide specific
> channels for this information.
