I think it's my task to answer to this mail. The first thing I would like from all of you involved in this project is a list of features and ideas you would like to have in the component. You can go as detailed as you want without any limit. This should be the base of discussion. I am still waiting to post my features list since I would like t have more brains on board before doing that. The mailing list is the main communication medium. I have always found it the easier to follow and the one with the best chances to have important messages delivered reliably to everyone. I won't mind setting up a forum or haveing IRC meetings.. we can add them as we feel them necessary. The first layer of documentation is going to be a generic one. Only a features list with some milestones for each group of features. Then we're going to analyze and design each element making up the components. I am used at Visio and I've had some experience with Rational Rose and TogetherSoft. Someone once told me about an Open Source UML software that should be on SourceForge.. we could have a look at that, too. -- Valerio Santinelli |
