Status of openddr-resources xml files ?

[Laurent Perez <l....@gmail.com>]

Hi

My company is interested in replacing our Wurfl-based device detection with
the OpenDDR one. We're also interested in contributing device information.

I've noticed that only the Java and CSharp codes have been donated, but the
device information contained within XML files at
https://github.com/OpenDDRdotORG/OpenDDR-Resources is still only available
on github.

Are there plans to donate these resources to the Apache foundation ?

Thanks
laurent

Thanks for the updates
(I got an error message last time when replying to this mailing list, so it
is also a test)

Since the data files and code are likely to be reworked in the process of pushing this new project forward, I would recommend we take some time to review the structure of the DDR and its codebases. In writing a C client (dClass), I found some areas of improvements:

-I found the need of builders unnecessary. The approach I took in dClass was to classify the pattern by a type: strong, chained, and weak (there is also a way to break ties when multiple patterns match). These can be adjusted if needed, but I found that this is was fastest and most flexible way to match all patterns against a user-agent string.

-In doing the above, I was able to extend the DDR to detect browsers, operating systems, and bots.

-I was able to achieve a high level of performance speedup in using a hybrid search/pattern data structure as the core of my client: dtree.

I just want to get the ball rolling and possibly start a technical discussion as to the code structure of this project.

My client is here for reference: https://github.com/TheWeatherChannel/dClass

Thanks,
Reza

OpenDDR actually intended to do so, but after discussing it the Apache Incubator team preferred to accept only the code so far, details are at https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/DMAP-11

We're starting to discuss how to go forward, it seems to me like the best option will be to setup DeviceMap to accept data contributions in a similar way than OpenDDR does, for new data, and also adapt the data parsers to be able to use other sources so that users can get a complete database.

OpenDDR actually intended to do so, but after discussing it the Apache
Incubator team preferred to accept only the code so far, details are
at https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/DMAP-11

We're starting to discuss how to go forward, it seems to me like the
best option will be to setup DeviceMap to accept data contributions in
a similar way than OpenDDR does, for new data, and also adapt the data
parsers to be able to use other sources so that users can get a
complete database.
