I read in the weekly report of Alex Marin (another GSoC student) that he will start working on the authentication files soon. I noticed you made some changes to these files as well, so it's a good idea to discuss this before the start of the merge.
@Alex Marin: have you started working on these files? When do you plan to start? It seems like a good idea that you start working on the version with the commits of Rouslan, to avoid merge problems later on.
Hi,
I've only created the basic structure of the authentication files, and I can work on those later on. My OOP structure involves new files, so I will not be actually modifying the old libraries/auth/* files, but I will create new ones that with the same content in the object-oriented version [1].
I now plan on creating a similar structure for the transformations part and then I want to finish implementing all the import and export OOP plugins. Only after that will I start working on actual authentication section, so I think that additional changes there will not be a problem.
The files I'm currently working on and I would benefit from no changes to them are: - export.php - import.php - libraries/plugin_interface.lib.php - libraries/import/* - libraries/export/* - libraries/common.lib.php (here I have minor changes)
I can not merge until I have a full working structure, so I would like to ask everyone to avoid commits on those files, especially if they are coding style related (if there are bugs, of course, go on, those are more important). They force me to use the mergetool and I've had quite a few issues introduced this way (my fault of course, I wasn't careful enough, but it's always better to avoid that from the start, if possible).
