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 really like the feel of having a fat client. And there definitely = needs to be a HTML client. So I am considering using <stxx/>, which basically = allows the view to be completely XML driven. It's a bit of extra work on the = front end, but I've done it before with a smaller project and am comfortable = using that code to get the transforms working within a day or so. =20 The nice thing about using XML everywhere is that the core reporting = engine can just cook XML, then send it off to the client for rendering, whether = the client is a fat client running standalone, a web application that is = going to transform it into HTML or PDF using <stxx/> or some other application = type that requires some other format. =20 What I am concerned about is my XSL skills... they are good enough for government work, but maybe not passable for a system as complex as this. = Are there any takers for doing reports in XSL? Since the HTML table = generation is done in Struts Tiles, I don't think there will be a need for the = entire UI to be done this way, just the reports that fit into the tiles. And I = would like to get some simple reports going as proof-of-concept for the = overall architecture ASAP. I don't think the reports need to be anything but a = basic format text dump to start with.=20 If you have any XSL skills and would like to join, please drop me a note = off or on list! Brian |

Well, nobody is on the list yet, but I'm going to start this rolling a = bit by making a first post here. =20 Current project status is that a fair bit of the entities and entity relationships are operational, about 30 tables in all. This is running = with login and full authentication against the users in the employee table. = Right now, any employee has access to all functions of their organization or = child organizations. This is not adequate long term, but is enough to get = started and is very easy to supplement. Because they are written in EJB CMP, they should be portable onto any database that is supported by the container that Dentaku is deployed on. = Not all of the fields are into the various tables, but they are very easy to = add (it actually takes longer to compile than it does to propagate a table = change all the way out to the database!) I'm just now starting to define some of the UI architecture, and am considering using <stxx/> with an XML reporting core. See my other post about this. Expect to see some code checked in this week. It's looking great! Brian |
