Plone 3.0

A Plone 3-specific tarball of the GetPaid product can now be downloaded for testing. By the time I got around to announcing that...Maurits made a tarball that works on both Plone 2.5 and 3.0! Go Maurits!! Check out downloads at http://code.google.com/p/getpaid/downloads/list

But after we made that, Maurits trumped my work at getting organized by making a common product for installing! He merged the two buildouts (one for Plone 2.5 and one for 3.0) into a common one (ah...sanity) and changed the way the products are laid out slightly. This will have some implications for buildout users (please see his email post about the work and changes).

Sorry for any problems you may have experienced trying earlier versions of the product on Plone 3. Buildout users were fine, but the tarball was not generated correctly. Thanks for your patience with us :)

Not being a developer, I am continuously amazed at the activity that goes into GetPaid, as it is all of you that make the project tick! Since registering the project at Ohloh, I have been even more entertained to watch the stats associated with us. For example, I have made a paltry 14 commits to the code base...In total we have 29 contributors to the project. The recent release-related super-star is Maurits van Rees, who has made 45 commits in the last month and give GetPaid its Plone 3.0 compatibility, along with some testing rigor. THANK YOU!!!

Rev 1000 also brings us steps closer to our Red Ochre Release. Kapil hit the 1,000 mark today with the fix to a Five initid bug, which provides us greater database stability. Now we are polishing, and closing issues leading up to the release. Got a second to test? Try the buildout or download the latest tarball.

We are still in the process of reviewing, evaluating, and issue tracking, so if you are poised on your seat, jump in now and get involved! Our mailing list is a great way to reach us, and spark a conversation, learn from others, or just say hello :)

Building on the strong basis of near-Release Candidate code for GetPaid on Plone 2.5, Maurits made some changes to ensure Plone 3.0 compatibility. Now GetPaid is running on 3.0 and 2.5 without a branch!

Summary of work (taken from Maurits's notes):

• There is a buildout for getpaid on Plone 3.0 https://getpaid.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/getpaid-30.buildout
  
• The getpaid product (PloneGetPaid) and packages (getpaid.core and hurry.workflow) have gotten compatibility fixes on trunk.  So no branches needed for now.
  
• All unit tests pass on 2.5 and 3.0.
  
• There are test failures for Products.PloneGetPaid on both 2.5 and 3.0.
  
• Compared with one week ago, Five was moved from develop-products/Five to parts/five/Five and all keeps working fine.
