[BBS-devel] Developer questions..

[Mike M. <sho...@ma...>]

I just thought I'd put in the most common questions people ask me before joining the project.


* Tell me more about what the actual project is.
The project's goal is to provide a decent piece of software, cross-platform, that performs the base functions necessary to a BBS.
* What plans have you got?
For the most part, it's a come-to-a-bridge/cross-a-bridge sequence of events.  I haven't been able to conjure up a decent set of plans from my brother's dark and mystical ISA bus yet..
* What's going to be the size of the team for the project ?
Well, I'm going to try to let the coder request in the SF "Job's Wanted" section expire on its own...And see how many people I've got then.  If the number grows too large to work efficiently, I'll have to mark the possition 'filled' or cancel the request.
* Do you have a URL with the details of the project?
Nope...not yet.
* What's the deadline for this project?
There really isn't a deadline.  AFAIK, there's no comprehensive piece of BBS software due for a release date any time within my life span..Time is a nonissue. :)
* Give me as many details as you can.
I hate running MS-DOS 3 on a P2-233 just so I can run a decent piece of BBS software.  It seems like a waste.
Other than that, I post thoughts to the -devel mailing list accessible at the SF website.
