An online version of this report is available here.

Here’s a pie chart representation of the time distribution.

 

This report covers Friday Dec 14 and Monday Dec 17.

 

Translation

·         Added tools for batch deployment of contributed translations

1.      Received 40+ Portuguese translations written with the new translation utility

·         Continued discussion about how to handle translation of common strings.

·         Checks for string collisions

·         Needs more testing, improvements for uploading, and some rewriting

 

Upcoming Work

·         Rotation/Torque

·         CCK

o   Organize requests into unfuddle

o   Bugfixes

·         Continue developing Moving Man, Force1D, Ramp with new common libraries, (with Chris/John)

·         Add “draw-in-graph to create” function for moving-man?

·         Moving man basically complete, start on Ramps next, and use that as the basis for Force1D

·         Generate better reports from Unfuddle/identify ticket times in unfuddle

 

See Unfuddle for detailed remaining work:

 

forces-1d                              

                13           fix wiggle-me's for force-1d and ramps

                16           force1d zoom buttons in the way

                17           force1d chart close buttons wrong

ideal-gas                               

                18           Ideal gas simulation should allow addition of work under constant pressure

moving-man                        

                1              time series recording should never step back in time

                32           moving man: stop button reverts to go button at end of time

rotation                 

                7              rotation: nonlinear brake force

                11           Inner radius change doesn't move ladybug

                12           Angular momemtum not conserved

                25           torque: cleanup control panel

                26           torque: box around graph series selection checkboxes

                27           add a wiggle me?

                28           improve partial side view for platform mass

                40           Reset all doesn't correctly clear acceleration and velocity vectors

                41           sign of force changes

                42           ruler still reads "m"

                43           Increase fly-off speed threshold

                44           bugs should stick to the grass after flying off

the-ramp                              

                14           ramp angle slider doesn't match the model correctly

                15           force diagram vanishes when ramp goes to zero angle

translation                            

                8              integrate translation should update all flavor JARs, not just main JAR

                9              cck portuguese translations

                10           integrate italian strings from timeseries into energy skate park

                30           for synchronizing translations to the main site, add a test to verify that all keys in the old version are in the new version

                45           create ant task for bundling all common localization files

                46           language fixes
