<p>3 revision(s)</p> <p><b>New page</b></p><div>If you haven't come across me on the forums, I am one of the PGV developers.<br /> <br /> I have been developing software since the late 1970s and contributing to PGV since 2006.<br /> <br /> Random thoughts on PGV:<br /> <br /> * We should abandon support for PHP4.<br /> <br /> * Using classes is not the same thing as OO. OO requires other important concepts such as abstraction and data-hiding.<br /> <br /> * We should replace Pear::DB with something that isn't deprecated, such as PDO. <br /> <br /> * We should remove all presentation and layout from the HTML and put it in CSS.<br /> <br /> * We should use PHP's multibyte and internationalisation libraries instead of wasting time on our own slow/broken version.<br /> <br /> * Store everything in the database. This means everything. It includes all the stuff we currently store in files.<br /> <br /> * We need a data model that models the data, not one that models gedcom files. This will mean dropping support for synchronised gedcom files (which would be a good thing in itself).<br /> <br /> * Replace print_XXX() with print XXX();</div>
