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. _______________________________________________________________________ Benno Luthiger Swiss Federal Institute of Technology Zurich 8092 Zurich Mail: benno.luthiger(at)id.ethz.ch _______________________________________________________________________ |

-> I've started using cucumber for a project of mine and have two -> questions: -> -> 1) What is the cucumber licence? LGPL -- it's indicated as such somewhere on the SourceForge page, but since I have yet to role a distribution I didn't bother putting it on the files or in a README! -> 2) I've started making modifications that will allow cucumber to be -> run on MySQL and other non-objectrelational DBs (not yet there -> however). Of course, this modifications will not affect the -> original behaviour and limit the user to deriving from -> cucumber. Object only (no real inheritance hierarchies). I think -> this limitation is not very severe for many simple (and proably not -> so simple) projects. As a first step I have developed a simple -> patch (attached, to give you an idea) that gets rid of relying on -> inheritance, if the DB doesn't support it. It works by duplicating -> the object and class id into the base table. -> -> How do you think of accepting my modifications (once they -> they are complete enough to make cucumber run on MySQL) into CVS? It depends on a couple of things: * how intrusive the changes are. I'm kind of unhappy with how complex the code is already, and I'm thinking about ways to simplify it. * how language-specific the changes make cucumber. I still hold out dreams of making it work with Perl and/or Java, although it's looking like that will take a back seat to my PhD work for another few months. This ties in with the first caveat: if an extra 500 lines of code is needed to make this useful for MySQL, that will more than triple the core logic of the program... * how limiting the changes are with respect to using cucumber. The main purpose of cucumber, for me, lies in the simple use of inheritance. If you remove it, I'm not sure how well things will work! There are several O/R schemes out there that are not specific to PostgreSQL, and this tends to be because they munge around the lack of table inheritance. Have you looked at any of these? All that being said, I'm enthusiastic about anyone and everyone who looks at the cucumber code and uses it for anything at all ;). cheers, --titus |
