In the edge of spamming...

After some discusions on the UDDF mailing list a small group of
programers, with me included. Have started a small project with the
goal of making the ultimate dive log program. We have some nice ideas
and are just starting up. If there is any programers out there thaty
likes to give input or help out. Please visit the webpage, join the
discusions and why not add some code.

The aim is to make the project avilibe for almost every computer on
the plannet (in one form or an other). And to have the most
functionality of all log programs. So if you only have a wish list for
a dive log progra, send it to us. Maybe we think it's a good idea and
actually make it for you. But I guess that the main driving for is
that we think tha programs we have tried so far in one way or another
doesn't work for us.

Home page at sf is:

http://opendiver.sourceforge.net/

Some concept ideas of an interface (made on a Mac is availibe here)

One think that we have in the planning is that it should be possible
to populate a database of divesite and other such information
availible over the internet from the application. This was discussed
here before. However help could be needed.

/ Balp, Sorry if I walked on any toes, I just like to get the feeling
for what more dives likes of there logbook.

Anders,

Do you intend to include computer download capabilities as well? It would be
useful to be able to download and log in the same package from multiple
different computers. I have an aladin (good software) and a nexus (the
worst designed piece of software I have ever had the misfortune to
purchase!) to be able to include dives logged on either computer would be
very useful.

Surely it's only spam if it is commercial? I don't think many here would
class a pointer to ddplan as spam?

No problems at all Anders. There's quite a few software developers on this
group and the idea of an open source (will it be open source?) log book
designed and developed by divers from all over the world is a good one.

Good luck

My thoughts exactly. It would be nice if the computer downloading was
handled in a modular way - ie. you selected the appropriete 'plug in' to add
compatibility to the software for your particular type of computer. I've
recently changed over to a VR3 from an Aladin Smart Pro and it would be nice
to have a logging program that can handle dive data from the VR3 without
having to dump my older Aladin profiles...

...plus, of course, it might convince Delta-P that charging £120 for dive log
software is a rip off!!!!!!

It will be open source, but whet license in not decided yet, the most
of the code so far I have contributed and that has been coverd with an
MIT license. But maybe in the end evetything does comed out as GPL or
something else...

Hi,

is there any advance on this issue? I lead the project on the CDuce programming language, a language for XML (mainly for *nix: it is included in the main Linux distributions). Since I also am a CMAS ** I wanted to develop some diving program in CDuce. So I first looked at what existed, made a search on UDDF and arrived to this thread.

The site OpenDiver looks pretty dead? Do you know of any other project going on? I do no want to do work already done

Thanks in advance

Beppe
