<hr size="2" width="100%">Dear colleagues<br>
<br>
As you are aware, we have begun preparatory work for version 2 of
ABCD, planned release in late August.<br>
During the past week, we registered a group of professionals that
make up the core of our task force. They will take the lead in
different areas of work in the coming months.<br>
We did a brainstorm exercise on the task force and as a result we
have drafted a preliminary document with improvements and
innovations that will lead us to version 2 of ABCD.<br>
This document will be published in the coming days on this list and
then you can all bear opinions freely and open-minded and enrich the
primary plan. If you see a need is not adequately dealt, then will
be the time to help.<br>
The first goal is to have by the end of March an organized plan of
work, and then start working.<br>
<br>
People who are currently part of the task force are the following.<br>
<ul>
<li>Egbert de Smet, Belgium</li>
<li>Guilda Ascencio, Venezuela</li>
<li>Ernesto Spinak, Uruguay</li>
<li>Mauricio Brito, Ecuador </li>
<li>Edwin Hübner, Brazil</li>
<li>Alisson de Castro, Brazil</li>
<li>Alberto Alejandro Rosenberg, Argentina</li>
<li>Eustache Megnigbeto, Benin</li>
<li>Luis Ramiez Caldas, Perú</li>
<li>Juan Urzúa, Chile</li>
<li>Andrew Buxton, United Kingdom</li>
<li>Carlos Kretschmer, Chile</li>
<li>Renate Morgenstern, Namibia</li>
<li>Zuleima Guedez, Venezuela</li>
<li>Abel R. Monteiro, Cape Verde</li>
</ul>
The list is not closed, just the opposite. We are currently inviting
new colleagues for the following tasks, they can spend a few hours
each week.<br>
1) programming with PHP, for small applications in Central ABCD.<br>
2) programming in Java, for Empweb<br>
3) write scripts with Groovy<br>
For tasks of (1) register with Ernesto Spinak, for tasks (2) and (3)
with Egbert de Smet<br>
<br>
In April, we'll ask for volunteers to do tests on Linux and Windows
environment and in May we'll need volunteers for translation of
messages, online helps and editing the manual.<br>
<br>
Be alert, we will send news each week<br>
regards<br>
Ernesto Spinak<br>
