This message is to update you with the information about ABCD and obviously, calling again for volunteers to help with many different tasks.<br><br>Last week we were in Caracas working with Guilda and organizing the remaining tasks to release an updated ABCD.<br>
As you may recall, last March we posted a request in this forum asking suggestions, opinions, comments, etc., about which things you considered that should be corrected, changed, or added to the current version. We received dozens of messages, wich compiled we used as input in the Antwerp meeting held in the week of May 23th.<br>
<br>In that meeting we identified that there were not many significant changes in programming and structure, but many dozens of small and simple cosmetic changes. The biggest problems were the migration of PHP 5.2 to 5.3, problems that occurred with the newer versions of Mozilla and Chrome, and data entry simplification in MARC21.<br>
<br>With the approved workplan in Antwerp we have been working these months with the cooperation of some colleagues who generously offered their time. We also have to say that, unfortunately, of the many colleagues offered in June only a dozen people made the task that had been committed.<br>
<br>For the initial release, in 2009, we have over 50 people working together somehow. This year we had just a dozen volunteers, so we have not advanced as quickly as we wished. It's a bit strange, because in 2009 ABCD was only a promise, whereas now it is a reality and there are many institutions and colleagues who are using it, the enthusiasm for sharing efforts is less.<br>
<br>Well, let's open a new instance to cooperate, we need volunteers for three kind of tasks<br>a) try and translate the new FDT definition of MARC21<br>b) complete the translation of ABCD messaging (en, es, pt, fr)<br>
c) Test the new version, review the online helps and make suggestions for updating<br><br>Tasks (a) and (b) can begin right now<br><br>Those interested to cooperate send me a private mail indicating what task you want to do, and experience with ABCD.<br>
In 10 days we will begin with these activities.<br><br>We will have a first "packaging" for Windows and Linux test after completion of the tasks (a) and (b)<br>Then we'll turn to the task (c) and supposedly we'll release the next ABCD after that<br>
