Miva welcomes James Harrell



Congrats to Miva, and to James (and a long overdue congrats to Keith).

The fact that Miva is bringing in known community members is
definitely a step in the right direction. And their first picks of
Keith and James are wise ones in my opinion.

This is IMHO one of the best moves Miva has made >>James Harrell -
Director of Software Development<< on the flip side I suppose I am no
longer a Copernicus Partner.

Miva welcomes James Harrell



My congratulations to James!

Btw, what happened to the previous Director of Software Development? Is
Burch no more at Miva, and no more making any development? Are there other
developers who left? Will Miva Script still exist in future, or will James
force porting Merchant into PHP and finally killing Miva Script? I believe
he is more a C and PHP developer than a Miva Script coder

(Well, I do not expect that anyone really answers my questions, but I ask
anyway)

Why actually, Bill? Was there anything wrong with OpenXB? So far I did not
hear any negative critique about it.

Congrats, James!

Just out of curiousity, will CBS modules that are not built into Miva Merchant
continue to be supported?

Thanks,
Tom

My hope would be that he'd use his PHP and C experience to make Miva a
much better language.

If I'm right, here's a couple suggestions... stop being so verbose!

Why "miva_array_max"? Do you plan to add a "coldfusion_array_max" and
needed to avoid the name clash?

Why does MvIF require an "Expr="? Why not simply <MvIF "{ braces optional }">

Why STANDARDOUTPUTLEVEL and ERROROUTPUTLEVEL? How about OUTLEVEL and ERRLEVEL?

When you've replaced (and/or aliased) those, and a few others, we can
discuss better ways to build dynamic structures... as ugly as this is,
it beats the "standard" method of building multi-member/multi-array
structures (which I have _never_ used):

<MvASSIGN NAME="{'l.dict:page[' $ l.page $ ']:word[' $ l.count $ ']'}"
VALUE="{l.words[l.count]}">

Just trying to give James a little job security by keeping him busy ;-)

I agree. And congrats James.

Although I'm afraid support for existing products will suffer horribly,
just as support for Wump's products have.

I certainly hope for the best.

You can read directories with v5. However, I do not find it really
necessary, and the development in this direction represents much higher
security risks.

I would personally hope for as few extensions as possible, but rather
concentrating on stability, performance and better resource consumption
management.

[catching on on last nights email]

Congrats James. I hope you are digging San Diego. Don't even tell me how
good the weather is (the rain hasn't stopped in Portland yet).

So now you have two developers named James?

I do have one question. How the heck did they afford you?

Oh yeah, they have money now <g>

Best wishes,

Adam
