==What is the Architecture Team?==
there is no architecture team anymore
A group of people within the openPETRA development team that looks at and improves architectural issues of various kinds.
 
===Team Members===
The openPETRA Architecture Team currently consists of christiank and MathiasG. They were nominated to that job by the the other openPETRA core developers at an openPETRA meeting in Carlisle (Nov.30th - Dec.2nd, 2010).
 
The members of the Architecture Team do not work full-time on architectural issues; rather they are 'normal' openPETRA developers who can be contacted about architectural issues and who are pro-actively looking for architectural issues as they go about their development work. They might work full-time on issues for a certain time as the need arises.
 
 
==Purpose of the Architecture Team==
The Architecture Team...
* proactively identifies issues in the architecture or development process of openPETRA and highlights them to the development team.
* investigates issues of the architecture or development process of openPETRA as identified by other development team members.
and...
* comes up with proposals on how to improve identified issues.
* implements changes to resolve or improve the identified issues themselves, or delegates the implementation of changes to another member of the development team, depending on whatever is seen as best and who/if somebody is available for that.
* creates and maintains documentation on the topics of
** openPETRA architecture
** development process of openPETRA
 
 
==Discussions==
===Current Discussions===
The list below contains discussions on current topics.
 
''These are discussions only and ''might'' result in one or the other decisions!''
* [[Validation Framework]]
** '''Implementation decided'''
** Responsible: ChristianK (with input from ThiasG)
* [[Changes to the Process and Workflows of openPETRA Development]]
** Responsible: ChristianK and ThiasG
* [[Tools for Supporting the Process and Workflows of openPETRA Development]]
** Responsible: ChristianK and ThiasG
* [[DB Discussions: Transaction Model, Savepoints, Locking; Exception Handling; Caching]]
** Responsible: ChristianK and ThiasG
* [[Evaluation and Comparison of different logging Systems]]
** Responsible: WolfgangU
* [[Inconsistent Error and Exception Handling]]
** Responsible: ChristianK and ThiasG
** ''Please feel free to contribute to this ongoing discussion!''
 
===Proposals for Potential Topics for Further Discussions===
The list below contains proposals for discussions on topics that we might want to look at. There is no particular order.
 
''These are discussions only and ''might'' result in one or the other decisions!''
* [[Decimal/Rounding Calculation Definition]] / [[Multiple Currencies]] Responsible: ThiasG with help from Wolfgang Uhr
* [[Generated Files With Manual Code Blocks]]: Should be part of https://sourceforge.net/apps/mantisbt/openpetraorg/view.php?id=155
* [[Data Spread Over Many DB Tables vs. Same Data in One DB Table - Performance]] Responsible: ThiasG with Timotheus
* [[Unit test framework]] Responsible: ThiasG Prepare proposal
* [[Gathering of Statistics - Which Sites Use Which Functions of PETRA]]
** Responsible: ChristianK
** Nice to have, middle Priority.
* [[Business Layer]]: No priority
* [[GUI Generator: Simulator for Previewing of GUI (No Dev.Env. necessary?)]]: No priority
* [[Data base normalization]] - For example the name of an account is stored in several tables and furthermore is used to link table entries and to define table relations. So it is difficult to change the names. Comment: Each dataset should have an internal id and should be linked by the internal id [[User:Thiasg|Thiasg]] 08:42, 24 January 2011 (UTC)
 
* [[Class naming]] - Should all classes start with "T"?
* [[Directory structure]] - The directory structure does not fit together with architecture. Difficult for new people to find, what they are allowed to use and where to find classes.
 
==Decisions Taken==
* [[Other Source Code Versioning System than git]]: '''Moving to Bazaar after evaluation (Dec. 7th, 2010, architecture team meeting).'''
** Move to a Bazaar Repository completed on Dec. 14th, 2010, after two days of intensive evaluation.
 
 
==Meeting Notes==
* [[openPETRA meeting in Carlisle (Nov.30th - Dec.2nd, 2010)]]
