Re: [CompStrm Wiki] Looking for Priyanka Shah

[Bill la F. <laf...@ya...>]

Priyanka,

AgileWiki is a big project and its only going to get
bigger, and we have a number of newbies on this list
as well. Further, this project is intended to be a
platform for developers, so its sucess or failure
depends not on its technical merits but on the
accessibility and appropriatness of its API, and on
its general adoption or lack of it.

You can help a great deal just by asking questions and
reading and running the code, though believe me any
contribution is most welcome. We have not yet formed a
core development team. 

And while the custom OODBMS and top-level architecture
are largely complete, very few commands/capabilities
have yet been implemented. However I expect to enter
late-alpha phase (or is it early beta?) in about two
months when the dump/restore utilities are completed.
(Though they are not yet even been started.)

Documentation is largely abscent as yet (ouch!) except
for rough javadocs, and a new database is simply not
to be trusted without extensive testing. (Its a b-tree
with support for nested transactions. But its
customized for this project, which is how its
tremendous speed is achieved.)

My own priorities are to do what I can to bring a
development team up to speed and to implement a
minimum capability. There is already a crude Swing
client, a crude set of servlets for web access, and my
ISP is running a copy of the server so you can
download and try the swing client--hopefully we'll get
Jakarta/TomCat running there too so anyone can access
it via web pages.

I'm using NetBeans, so if you use that IDE as well,
you can simply open the various projects after
unziping the download or accessing the code via
subversion.

Are you familiar with NetBeans? Subversion? These are
easy to learn, fortunately. And I expect a subversion
client will be integrated into NetBeans and released
in about a month. (Till then, there are a few tricks
to using the two together.)

Lets keep the dialog flowing, but never appologize for
having a life. I'd rather build a long-term
relationship and build a team that has fun learning
and working together, everyone contributing at the
pace that is best for them.

Bill
