Nii Hao All! I've switched back from digest mode: i've never had a mailing list in digest mode and i just discovered to hate it :D Here're some excerpts from the digests: 1. i second the choice of a wiki, it's a great system! 2. if you think a forum+ml is too much, we could go with the list and use the forum justo for public announcements or something like weekly status updates. 3. please, PLEASE!, don't call it AmigaOffice or something alike, don't us do the same error of Amizilla: here we have a great brand we can use for free and it's a big selling point: let's use it! (btw, OpenOffice.org is the real name, not OpenOffice :)) 4. SVN vs. CVS: although i'm one of the fans of SVN i believe that if you guys feel more comfortable with CVS and it will let us to start rapidly, then you should use it. In the meanwhile SVN could be a side project (in a SourceForge perspective too...) 5. the fact that at some point we'll have Python (and APR too), really makes me happy (ok, i admit this point isn't much related to project organization :D) -- Nibunnoichi ICQ: 19981296 http://www.furinkan.org http://www.takahashi.it

Nii Hao All!

Project Management
by Mark bond 08 Jan '05

08 Jan '05

Hi all, I'll probably regret this, but I'll put myself forward to HELP with the project management: First of all I think this is way to big a project for 1 person to manage it (especially as it will be done on a voluntary basis) and so if possible the project should be broken down ito several tasks (or sub-projects) and each sub-project has its own manager, with possibly one co-ordinator at the top level. About me: I am currently a Systems Manager at The Open University, this involves (amongst other things) managing IT projects (never done a coding project though). I'm also one of the site developers at AW.net, I have (in my university years ;-) ) done some C, but its not up to much currently. The project: We will need to: Have a discussion and work out all of the tasks that need completing, this will need to be broken down into phases (ie time ordered). We will need a project schedule putting together (PM's job), tasks will need allocating (again PM's job). This should preferably be on line and graphical, as an Open project it'll also allow us to point people at it so they can get an instant update. Once tasks are allocated, its the PM's job to hastle, bully and otherwise ensure they get done on time, or adjust the schedule if there is going to be unavoidable slippage. Regards, Mark

Hi, > Can someone update us with whats happening with this project? in > particular, how many people are working on it, whats been accomplished, > whats left to do, is work going ok? I is very curious! For my part i am trying to build the nspr under OS3.9 running inside UAE. By the way i am documneting how to set up a development envirnoment for OS3.9. After that i want to document it for OS4. If think that's critical point to document what for programms are needed to build the beast. And i would suggest try to make for the OpenOffice port the same. OpenOffice has the luck to focus mainly on OS4 and not addressing all OS3.9,OS4 and Morphos regards Max

SVN

Hi all, I think we should start with porting SVN to AOS (3.x & 4 if possible), not only because it looks better then CVS, but also because we have an SVN server (Olegil's machine) and it would be a good test & help us gain experiance as a team. ---- Amon_Re Ochal Christophe Webmaster for: http://www.kefren.be http://www.metalfest.be http://amigadev.amigaworld.net

Concentrate the discussion
by Hans-Joerg Frieden 08 Jan '05

08 Jan '05

Hi! I've seen the discussion raging on on aw.net, amigadev and elsewhere. Can we concentrate it on one point please (preferrably this mailing list) so that we don't need to monitor too many web fora? I definitely lack the time for that. Regards, -- Hans-Joerg Frieden, Hans-JoergF(a)hyperion-entertainment.biz - I-amar prestar aen / han mathon ne nen han mathon ne chae / a han noston ned 'wilith

Where do we go from here?
by Christophe Ochal 08 Jan '05

08 Jan '05

Hello, In a recent post Tonyw made a suggestion for setting up commité for managing this project, and i like the idea, but i would prepose some alternations to his suggestion. His idea was to have 3 persons in charge, a linux head, an AOS head & someone to be in charge of rescource management. I think you should have a 4th person on a higher level, to whom the 3 senior developers can report & who makes the calls based on the suggestions from all 3 senior devs. The head honcho should, just as the others, be elected by the whole team. Any feedback? Kind regards -- Amon_Re Christophe Ochal Hoge Buizemont 168 9500 Geraardsbergen, Belgium Mobile: 0032 (0)479/46 45 74 http://www.kefren.be http://www.metalfest.be

Hi Eventhough I'm busing with amigaworld.net I'm willing to organise a website for the project and users where we can keep everything under the one roof, but first I need to know the official name so I can design the logo. Regards David Doyle (DaveyD) Owner/Webmaster Amigaworld.net
