Mifos 2.2.2 Release

  • Published on SF.net - http://sourceforge.net/projects/mifos/files/latest/download
  • TODO: Ed to add links on mifos.org
  • Contains fixes for 41 tickets - most are related to REST API
  • Tickets for community - question groups for additional workflows - Binny's request for GK
  • Many UI fixes as well
  • Progress began on this next release - approximately 20 tickets
  • If want something being worked on - attach
  • Fixed bugs including recent activities (in Mifos for 1+ year)
  • Additional API
  • All methods for read functionality were added - can write a client and read anything from mifos related to clients, groups, centers, loans/savings, repayment schedules.
  • In 2.2.3 - will add missing write methods - by month's end - write to client. Expect others such as creating client/new product - not best for API.

Android Client

  • Current version - 0.4, working on 0.5 - small delay but addressing it and will catch up in mid-Dec - fully functional Android Client by end of this year - using all REST API methods.

Accounting

  • Sub-Group on Accounting - Thursday morning

Move to Github

  • Discussion on Mailing List started re: 
  • Proposing: Plan the Full Migration to GitHub:
  • List of tasks - not too cumbersome (disabling and changing references) - not too much with code migration.
  • +1 from Ed, From Jakub
  • SF.Net will be used for hosting repository
  • GitHub
  • Hosting for git repository
  • Greater visibility and social aspects and sharing of code
  • ToDo:
    • Explore contrib agreement issues
    • Explore soft limit for project size - possible cost. 
    • Continue discussion mailing list
    • Create wiki page and task list for migration
    • Documentation of this will be the highest effort.
