I'll try to post a list of open tasks later today/tomorrow.  In the mean time for anyone interested, check out the wiki page to get the code locally compiling (an important first step).

Kept meaning to post this but got distracted.

Anyway, this issues list is how I'll be tracking open issues in DB3.  I'll be adding new issues as I think of them.  But if someone sees something there they want to tackle, let me know.

I reckon I probably get  a web interface for Azimuth going... Let me see what I can cook up.

Note how the issue you picked has a child. ;) The web interface to Azimuth requires Mono to be installed on the server, which is currently not possible.

I just checked again, Mono is not currently installed on the server. The repositories have been down for openSUSE 11.0 for several months now.

I gave you an account Sammeh and assigned you the calculator part (I think it'll spam you with emails with instructions about how to log in, etc., but let me know if it doesn't).  Probably what makes most sense is to set up an aspx page locally and get it working, and we'll worry about the publishing ("going live") aspect of it later.  Something in PHP might work, but I imagine interfacing with .NET assemblies is difficult since it probably involves some marshaling, so probably doesn't make sense to go down that route.

I'll try to remember to be on IRC and/or skype tomorrow, though our timezones are a bit incompatible so there's probably only a few hours in the morning (from my perspective) where I can be useful.  Anyway, I'll try to check in a web project under Azimuth and set up project paths and stuff (which are a whole can of worms I don't really want to get into) and write some instructions here on meta stuff like which solution to run, which things in Azimuth to connect up, etc.  The rest you'll just have to play around with and google and stuff.

I created a project for this.  You just need to open Azimuth.sln and look for OnlineCalculator.  It's set up as an aspx project.

Let me know if you need any help getting started.  I've done a bit of ASPX work at work.

Refactor the current VB6 code to be clean.

Good luck with that one  :P
