Open Source development
When developing Open Source software it may easily happen that development
takes different ways. I hereby offer myself as a coordinator for different
projects. My idea is
that there is a central main source that is published regularly as new
versions. This source is the starting point for new development. These may
take place in parallel, but they are worked into the main source centrally
(i.e. by me). This way inconsistencies should be avoidable.
If you send in changes or if you have questions regarding the source you can
reach me at my adresses.
Procedure
Here's the exact procedure:
- When fixing a problem or when making only small changes only the changed
code sequence need to be sent in. I then make the same changes to the main
source code.
- When making larger changes or when implementing new features the project
should be announced first. This is to avoid that several programmers work
on the same project without knowing of each other. When a project is started
the programmers should coordinate their actions.
Changes to the status of a running project should be announced as well.
- When a project is done and has gone through alpha testing, the new source
files should be sent in. I then include the new files in the next public
version.
