[Gambas-user] Problem with the mailing-list

[Gareth Bult]

OK,

How about if I try to put something together that includes;

a. Website
b. Bug tracker
c. Forums
d. User logins / contributions
e. Mailing lists

And you can see if you like it ?

Gareth.

Not yet. Not before the 2.0 release...

My current paid job is a web application made in Gambas. This application can:

* Define any kind of form with fields, create them, edit them, delete them, 
link any instance of a form to any other instance of any form.

* Link any form to a geographical location displayed in Google Maps. The 
application automatically converts local coordinates to WGS 84 (the american 
one used by Google).

* Attach any file to any instance of a form.

* Generate KML files for Google Earth.

* Search data with a Google-like interface.

* Generate PDF documents from form data, provided you have an OpenOffice 
template.

* Define as many users as you want, with login/password.

* Define recurrent tasks that can send e-mail reports to any user.

* Display nicely on little PDA with any internet connection. The only problem 
being that Internet Explorer has too missing features on Windows CE!

At the moment, it is dedicated to the management of water networks.

It is a 450K cgi script (with debugging symbols, and a 200K java applet not 
used yet, so it should be 250K). It is running inside VMWare. No real 
performance problems at the moment :-)

Maybe that could replace the web site made by Fabien Bodard, so that Gambas 
users can put and share their code?
