[VoCamp Discuss] VoCamp DC is a go!

Thu Apr 16 08:32:42 PDT 2009

Hi Mike

Congrats for the speedy set up of dc vocamp!

Today at Vocamp ibiza 'someone ' managed to crash knoodl during a test ride
(I suppose there are too few constraints and its really easy to inser
'invalid' data in the field), well it did not really crash, but threw up
some error (someone too PHOTOS! of the error message, argh).\

I would be interested if you could review the logs and let us know what
could have gone wrong, so that we can avoid making mistakes again....  I
dont think anyone noted down what values where entered, I remember a few
obviously random/invalid entries
It still has more features that other tools I have
evaluated so far, so I remain inclined to used it for my vocabularies, (of
course other people may prefer to use the tools that their friends have
developed)
