User:Gordon/Optical Drive Testing Script/current status

Reorganized the source and setuptools-ized it, so it'll be a lot easier to install, and now there'll be a 'lazers' executable in /usr/local/bin once installed. --Gordon ^(talk) 00:33, 8 February 2010 (UTC)

Lot more basic drive-querying code written, as well as the 'lazers query' CLI. --Gordon ^(talk) 02:38, 7 February 2010 (UTC)

Did some research and found that DVD-RW is likely not to work for us, so I'm reversing my position and will recommend using DVD+RW media for testing. Also learned of more Linux utilities which may be useful for obtaining unique IDs from discs, etc. --Gordon ^(talk) 23:20, 18 December 2009 (UTC)

Improved requirements document and created a (currently empty) Mercurial repo on bitbucket. eBeth and Dave both emailed me back after reading the document and it will be brought up at the next production meeting. I don't know when that is, but if I have spare time I will start hacking between now and then, while watching the wiki for suggestions. :) --Gordon ^(talk) 22:43, 17 December 2009 (UTC)

I'm writing requirements and doing some very basic legwork in Python. --Gordon ^(talk) 21:56, 16 December 2009 (UTC)
