Message: [QUOTE="Gregory Brown, post: 4480696"] I will be releasing the User's Manual for my report generation and templating system Ruport tomorrow. The reason why I am releasing it before the initial release of Ruport itself (August 28) is because I am looking for a few brave souls to attempt installing and running Ruport so that they can help me streamline the installation process. I currently can only be sure that Ruport will work with MySQL and MS SQL. (Though theoretically it should be able to access any DBs that ruby-dbi does, it has not yet been tested) Anyone using other DBs are encouraged to take a look through the manual and let me know how I'd do what I'm doing for your particular system. Ruport is now on CVS and is being actively developed on in the rush for release. I am currently using setup.rb to install it, but James Edward Gray II will be preparing a gem specification for Ruport tonight or tomorrow. If anyone is interested in taking a walk through the manual to both test out Ruport and help improve it before it's first release, please feel free to let me know on or off list. I will not post again tomorrow announcing the release of the manual, because I've spammed ruby-talk enough already. But you will be able to find it at: [URL]http://ruport.rubyforge.org[/URL] There will be some news articles regarding development as well on this weblog: [URL]http://stonecode.org/blog[/URL] Any help would be greatly appreciated. I'd love to see suggestions on how to improve the setup and install process but just testing them out to see if they work would be quite helpful. For people fearful that Ruport will be impossible to install, do not run away yet, the features that require excessive effort are basically add on features, and you will still be able to use Ruport for most of your general reporting needs. The special features are cool though, and I'd like to make them easy to enable. I'll announce Ruport on Sunday when it's complete. Otherwise, please let me know if you're interested in being a test driver and I'll do my best to get the manual up tomorrow afternoon. -Greg [/QUOTE]
