Notes:

Busy morning. All of the meetings kind of just blended together. Here is what I have from my quick chicken scratches on some post-it notes.

- Working with John on some bugs dealing with paths, custom CSS and custom JavaScript for adilas pages. We were looking into other bugs that had been submitted through email and tech support. Wayne and John had released a big change by switching from Application.cfm to Application.cfc. It may sound small, but in ColdFusion, that switch affects every page in the entire application. The old was an automatic include with linear (top to bottom) code that was run on every page. The new way, through cfc's or components, everything has virtual triggers and it is setup to allow a more object oriented approach through methods, functions, and global variables and triggers. Anyways, they launched those changes and most everything was going well. It was just the little side or one-off deals that were having issues.

- Wayne jumped on, you could tell that he had been up for hours (different time zone, he lives in Europe - Portugal). Anyways, we went over a few things but you could tell that it had been a super long day.

- We did a standup meeting, and I took a bunch of other notes, on that project. See elements of time # 1865 inside of adilas for details.

- We got into a semi heated discussion on standards and using the adilas docs (public place for snippets, adilas sign-off tips, and style guide info). John was really pushing hard to get people to buy into that. It exists, and we need to use it more, but some of the developers don't like to take the time and would rather just keep asking people or doing their own stuff. There is a need for better compliance, but it may need to be done differently vs trying to force parties to play as we want.

- We did some developer training and showed them how to get to the adilas docs and lightly browsed around so that they could see what was there.

- Cory and Alan and I did a review of the AWH project and I took a ton of new notes. We were heading in a direction, and the new information will require us to rethink some things and even put prep steps prior to where we were heading originally. Small little twist.

- At the end our meeting (just Cory, Alan, and I), they asked for a small review from the ColdFusion Summit Conference. I gave them a recap of the meeting that was the keynote startup meeting from day 1 of the conference. I haven't done it yet, but I will record my notes on that summit conference entry. I really enjoyed that first talk about developer relationships.

- After Alan left, just Cory and I chatted about other projects. Cory has a need to be able to copy certain vendors between corporations. We have been working on an enterprise level vendor tool. That works great, but this little tool is more flexible and doesn't require the other enterprise to transactional corporation setup process. I told Cory that I could have a small tool done in a couple of hours, if I tweaked and modified an existing page. We will build that out, and keep it as a backend tool for now (not customer facing, only to be used by adilas backend persons).

- The last note was dealing with a need to be able to copy expense types, deposit types, and balance sheet types (chart of accounts) between corporation. We haven't done that yet, and it will require some mapping, but that need is coming as well. The deeper you go, the more the need for cross corp tools and enterprise level functionality becomes apparent and very needed. If I were to predict, I would say that the terms enterprise and transactional corps (or corporations) will be used and developed deeper as we go along. The needs are already there, they just haven't been funded and fully voiced yet. We'll have to see how it all plays out.
