Open Source Error Reporting / Status Reporting BPML Project Launched

[BurmJohn]

Hello All,

I have started Open Source Error Reporting / Status Reporting BPML Project. I launch the project on http://github.com.

Project URL: http://github.com/burmjohn/gentran-i...ml/tree/master

Through the URL above you can download, fork, and contribute to the project.

If you have any questions please let me know, i'll do my best to help.

What is Git and Git hub? http://www.readwriteweb.com/archives...rogrammers.php

Git is a decentralized version control system created by Linus Torvalds that is used by a number of open source projects, most notably perhaps the Linux kernel. GitHub is a new hosted Git repository service that's being called a "social network" for programmers and with good reason. It also already has some high profile projects of its own on board: Ruby on Rails, Capistrano, Merb, Prototype and Scriptaculous, among others. "[GitHub is] the way SourceForge should have been," gushed one beta tester. Git decentralizes version control by giving each developer a local copy of the development history, and then changes are copied from repository to repository. Because Git makes it simple to fork and merge code, it makes the system ideally suited to collaborative development projects. But what really sets GitHub apart, is not that it uses Git, but how elegantly it pulls everything together around a set of core social networking ideas.

Whats the purpose of the project?

To create a rock solid error / status reporting module that will aid in day to day GIS operations. My initial goals were to have the system log the errors in a database, as well as email the error off to the admin (or support desk) depending upon your setup. The reason for logging the errors to a database is so you can leverage external uses, such as a web page with a quick display of errors, or a desktop application that displays the most recent errors and statuses. This is something that should definally be discussed in more detail.
