Define and manage a set of data base tables.
Set up UI to view and edit contacts that contain its data.

CiviCRM 2.0 Design Series - Simplifying Data Storage and Retrieval for Address, Email and Phone Data
One of our primary objects for the 2.0 release is to find ways to simplify the way data is stored and retrieved in order to make querying data from the DB easier and more scalable/efficient. We're questioning a number of different pieces of the current data model - and one big area is storage of address, email and phone data. Part of this process also involves identifying areas where the data model is "out of touch with reality" (i.e. it imposes unrealistic or artificial constraints on the data).

By Torenware Filed under ArchitectureFor the last six months, I've been working on a system called CiviVoter, which is a component of CiviCRM that manages a voter file (the kind you get from your local registrar of voters here in the US) and imports it into CiviCRM.

By lobo Filed under CiviCRMWe've had Deepak and Manish from India and Michal from Poland visiting San Francisco. We've been thinking about the various things we need to accomplish for 2.0 and having a few design / schema meetings. We'll be blogging in detail about various sub-projects over the next few weeks.

By lobo Filed under CiviCRMThere is an effort underway among the leading PHP projects to push for PHP 5 adoption at GoPHP5.org. As folks in the community know we made this decision a few months ago to support only PHP5.2 and greater in our 2.0 release (scheduled for later this year). We also made the decision to support MySQL 5.0 and greater only in CiviCRM 2.0
Its great to see all major projects agree on this which in turn will compel hosting providers to also support PHP 5.2 and greater. You can find more information on this initiative at:

By lobo Filed under CiviCRMKieran Lal recently mentioned on the civicrm-dev list that he was interested in integration with the SunLightLabs API integration. This has been on my list for some time and I decided to take a peek at the API and while doing so decided to take a quick hack at integrating the API in CiviCRM trunk.
