Hi All,
I just thought I might clear a few details up. Software Improvements (SI)
are collaborating with Geoscience Australia (GA) and the University of
Tasmania (BlueNet project) to help develop the GN software to suit the
Australia Spatial Data Directory (ASDD) needs. Although I do work for GA I
also manage the ASDD on behalf of ANZLIC - the Spatial Information Council.
I have been doing that for nearly a decade now and this is one of the reasons
why I have gained knowledge in metadata standards and search systems.
Even though this is a collaboration between the three agencies there are some
requirements that are specific to each agencies. SI is incorporating the
ASDD requirements in GN. GA is incorporating GA's requirements in GN and
BlueNet are incorporating their requirements in GN (although they have mainly
done that work already). Each agency has their own priorities on these
requirements so although each agency will probably benefit from most of the
developments it is a complex collaboration with separately identified
requirements.
This has probably confused you more but hopefully it will indicate that there
are different developments in a collaborative way. ;--)
Thanks.
John

Subject: [GeoNetwork-devel] Hello, and prototype.js
workaround for Firefox 2Hello!
A brief introduction: I've just started on some
work in conjunction with Geoscience Australia
(i.e., John Hockaday and friends) on GeoNetwork
customizations which in the first instance are
specifically for GA but which as far as possible
we intend to feed back as improvements into GN.
We plan to contribute both code and some
(much needed!) developer documentation.My first contribution addresses what's really
only a minor niggle and is more "for the record".Running GN on Firefox is affected by
a known problem in prototype.js (or in fact, more
likely a problem in Firefox) that is apparently
still not fixed in prototype 1.6.
The issue is documented here:http://dev.rubyonrails.org/ticket/5393
and here's a patch containing the workaround given in that ticket
as applied to GN trunk:Index: web/geonetwork/scripts/prototype.js
