Project roles
From libposix
During the lifetime of the project we'll need many to do many different tasks. This is a list of project roles that may be available. Note that some roles are more urgent now than others. "Performance developer", for example, is useless right now. Pick as many project roles as you would like. :-)
- C Developer: Will develop ISO C code. One of the main roles of the project. Must have good knowledge of the standard.
- Low level developer: Will develop assembly and low level, not necessarily standard code. Must have knowledge of the specific low level tools we're using or targeting (ex: binutils, kernels, architectures)
- Tester: Will develop unit tests and port standard applications to our environment, to be used as test cases. Must have great knowledge of the standards. Testers need to become happy whenever they find a bug. See the guide for testers for details on how to write tests in libposix.
