[Coefficient-devel] Build problem

[Richard H. <fre...@la...>]

I downloaded the new source release. I am in a Webapp environement, without
jboss.
I've noticed a few build problem that I report, because I think it's
important for new users to not waste time to fix them.

- ant targets : is it not possible to set a flag in the build.properties to
choose the jboss or webapp target instead of duplicating so many ant targets
? I think of the IF attribute of the target tag.

- in each build.properties of the different modules, you have a hardcoded
reference to the coefficient.path=/home/detkin/cvs/coefficient, is it not
possible to have a default global coefficient.path defined for every module
build ? maybe in the modules-common.ent ?

- the target "make-webapp-release" cant be successful if you are in a
webapp-only context (no link to jboss)
>BUILD FAILED
>F:\tools\coefficient\build.xml:451:
F:\tools\coefficient\{PATH_TO_JBOSS}\client not found.

Cheers
Richard.

Hi Mike,

 I am terribly sorry about this. They say that imitation is the most
sincere form of flattery and that is all I truly meant by imitating the
JIRA issue tracker. When we decided to do an issue tracker we wanted to
emulate what we felt was an excellent product and we all thought that
was JIRA. We did have a graphic artist alter the icons to a degree but I
can totally see how that is not enough.

 I have removed the current release from sourceforge and I will
re-release the latest version with the issue tracker removed as a
short-term solution. We will then work to replace the icons as a first
step, and then will try to change the layout  before we re-release it.
You can take heart in the fact that our issue tracker is much less
feature rich and much more buggy than the actual JIRA product, but it is
true that we copied layout, most html and the graphics from your
product. Somehow we thought that being such an incomplete implementation
with a different back-end made it O.K. but I totally see that it is not
and am sorry.

 This issue tracker has actually been available for about a year but I
guess it has only now gotten attention. I really respect your support of
the open source community with your JIRA installations and other
initiatives and I do not want sour any future relationships we may have
with your organization.

  As to the comment on the serverside thread there is no association
with the user who posted it, and as I hope this email shows, it is not
an opinion shared by anyone on the coefficient team.

  Please let me know if these steps are sufficient. And once again I
would like to offer my apologies and try to sincerely express that theft
was not our intent, we truly were just trying to copy an excellent UI,
but it is now very clear that we crossed a line and I am sorry.

Sincere Apologies,

Dylan Etkin

Hi there,

I'm emailing you because (according to the website) you're the 
Coefficient development team.

As you may know I am one of the two founders of Atlassian, and we make

the JIRA issue tracker.

Quite a few of our customers emailed to point us to this thread today:

    http://www.theserverside.com/news/thread.tss?thread_id=29994 

First - I'd like to say up front that I'm a huge supporter of Open 
Source in general, and our company spends a lot of money and developer

time working on Open Source projects.

Second - I think the Coefficient idea is good, and the project itself 
looks like it's off to a good start - well done!

I would however like to voice my complaint about the way that a lot of

our interface and especially our intellectual property has been
'lifted' 
(to put it nicely). The icons used in your issue tracker are ours - 
plain and simple - I know that because I and our graphic designer drew

them. The screen layouts, help text, UI - even down to rendering bugs 
(!) - are identical in many places.

As a second point, I would also like to take serious issue with one of

the poster's in that thread (I'm not sure how associated they are with

the project)

 >> The icons are taken directly from Jira
 > Indeed. But i do not see a big deal in it.
 > If Attlassian will complain, icons can be easily replaced.

No - this is a big deal.

Please take this as my official complaint and notice that I would like

all of our icons and interface elements removed from Coefficient.

- to borrow something or check something in accidentally is one thing,
- to blatantly steal it, admit it and then not seem to care is quite 
another.

I hope this matter can be resolved amicably and quickly - if nothing 
else it makes Coefficient look extremely poor in the eyes of the Open 
Source world and I'm sure you don't want that either.

Please let me know what you intend to do about it all.

Cheers,
Mike

No, currently is does not. It is fairly important, though, and is on the
TODO list (although none of the developers are too excited about doing
it just yet :)

There's been a lot of CVS activity recently. You can expect a new
release fairly soon, with some cool new features. Watch this space!

I did create a user and delete it.
Then I did try to re-create him.
I can also says that this user was still loged.

That was a triky point but I try to help ;)

Hi Charles-Alexandre, 
 
 We are always happy to have someone contribute to the code base. I
think the first step is to get things running and then you can take a
crack at some code. We don't have a formal policy on membership but
before we extend commit rights we like to see some code contributions
first just to see what your all about. 
  The reason your having trouble building is that we use ant to build
the src, and maven only to build the web-site (we have just never had
the time to move our tricky ant stuff to tricky maven stuff). First I
would suggest a cvs update. We are doing quite a bit of development at
the moment and stuff changes a lot day to day. If you copy your
build.properties.sample to build.properties and set all the variables
correctly and then make sure that your src/misc/hibernate.properties
file is setup correctly then doing an 'ant clean deploy-war' should get
the webapp deployed for you. 
  Give it a shot and shout if you run into issues. 
 
Good luck,

I try to create the war using war:war but then the webapps was more or less 
empty.

What should I do in order to compile and set the project from the source

PS: I am more then willing to help on developping this project.

[Coefficient-devel] re-implementing the security model in coefficient

[Dylan E. <de...@cs...>]

I know there are not a lot of developers on this mailing list but I feel
as if the decisions effecting coefficient should be taken in a more open
environment and at least have some record of the reasoning behind them.
Therefore, this email. 
 
We have started another round of development on coefficient which is
driven by the business need of a re-implementation of the dgroups
project (http://www.dgroups.org). This release is focusing on cleaning
up some look & feel, fixing some bugs, make projects more robust, and
trying to make coefficient easier to use as a platform. 
 
The one place coefficient absolutely is terrible at is the way security
and roles are handled. At the moment all modules know explicitly about
the roles which are very hard coded into the system. If you want to use
coefficient for another purpose and you have different role requirements
you are pretty much out of luck and the existing modules become useless
as well because of their heavy dependancy on the hard-coded roles. 
 
We have been discussing revamping coefficient with a very loosly coupled
permission mechanism that will keep information in the DB but be totally
configurable. The modules should then only have to know about a simple
call, something like: SecurityService.canDoForPermission(user,
permission, object) where object is not required. A drawback to this is
that the configuration will not be trivial. 
 
Does anyone have any thoughts or imputs on this topic? Keep in mind that
we need to know things like: can a  user see a specific instance of an
object (project member), what actions can a user execute in relation to
given objects (can a user create a file on a project), etc...

[Coefficient-devel] FASD project: Online survey launched

[<ben...@id...>]

Dear Open Source developer

I am doing a research project on "Fun and Software Development" in which I kindly invite you to participate.
You will find the online survey under http://fasd.ethz.ch/qsf/. The questionnaire consists of 53 questions and you will need about 15 minutes to complete it.

With the FASD project (Fun and Software Development) we want to define the motivational significance of fun when software developers decide to engage in Open Source projects. What is special about our research project is that a similar survey is planned with software developers in commercial firms. This procedure allows the immediate comparison between the involved individuals and the conditions of production of these two development models. Thus we hope to obtain substantial new insights to the phenomenon of Open Source Development.


With many thanks for your participation,
Benno Luthiger


PS:
The results of the survey will be published under http://www.isu.unizh.ch/fuehrung/blprojects/FASD/.
We have set up the mailing list fa...@we... for this study. Please see http://fasd.ethz.ch/qsf/mailinglist_en.html for registration to this mailing list.

Re: [Coefficient-devel] Coefficient add user woes

[Dylan E. <de...@cs...>]

Hi Jonas,
 I sent this email on the 30th of April but perhaps it got lost. I am
CC'ing this to the devel list as well.

 Sorry it has taken so long to get back to you, I was on leave for a
while. It sounds like coefficient  is still using the EJBInvokers to
run, this tells the HibernateUtil to not commit since in EJB the
container handles commits. Running in tomcat you want to make sure that
your hibernate.properties is setup to use a strait JDBC connection and
not a datasource AND to get the factory to use the tomcat invokers you
must remove the EJBInvoker class file from your running system. This is
a bad way to do this and in the next version we will change it, it is
not hard to have the hibernateUtil find out if it is using a datasource
or not, but the version you have still has the cludge. 

I hope this helps, please feel free to email any further questions, 

Dylan Etkin

[Coefficient-devel] Coefficient add user woes

[Jonas O. <jo...@in...>]

I just downloaded Coefficient in order to try it out. I'm very
much interested in its workflow capabilities because our department
needs just such a tool.

I installed Coefficient 0.9 on Tomcat 5.0.19 and things seem to work
very well up until the point where I try to create a user. When I
have filled in the values for username, password, name and so on, and
click to accept, Coefficient dies with the following Java error:

2004-04-21 11:12:47 StandardWrapperValve[CoefficientServlet]: Servlet.service() 
for servlet CoefficientServlet threw exception
java.lang.ClassCastException
        at za.org.coefficient.aspects.logging.CoefficientLoggingAspect.ajc$after
$za_org_coefficient_aspects_logging_CoefficientLoggingAspect$1aa6(CoefficientLog
gingAspect.java:187)


In catalina.out I get the following error:

2004-apr-21 11:12:47 net.sf.hibernate.util.JDBCExceptionReporter logWarnings
VARNING: SQL Warning: 0, SQLState: null
2004-apr-21 11:12:47 net.sf.hibernate.util.JDBCExceptionReporter logWarnings
VARNING: WARNING:  COMMIT: no transaction in progress

Any takers?  I would've posted to coefficient-user, but alas, that list
doesn't seem to exist.

[Coefficient-devel] Future directions and roadmap

[Dylan E. <de...@cs...>]

Hi All,
  Now that we have an initial release of coefficient to work from we
need to layout a roadmap to a 1.0 release. We should determine what
features are essential and what kind of bug level we are willing to live
with.
  I am currently working on an IssueTracking module that is a clone of
JIRA. This should be done within 1 1/2 weeks. Next on my plate is to add
mailling lists support. Another issue I think is of great importance is
improved error handling. We need a centralized mechanism for doing field
validation.
  I will welcome any suggestions on direction and timeframe. I would
like to push twords a 1.0 release within the next 3 months, but that
timeframe is just off the top of my head.

Thanks,
Dylan Etkin
