#1 ITMS Documentation -- Publishing

[Matt Palmerlee]

Hi there!

i was really shocked!
generally, all those documents are hidden and almost
secret...

i'm obliged to create whole set of software
design&analyzis documents,
and after few hours of searching your "production"
connected with
ITMS project was one of three documents which i could
use as a template.

thank you, thank you, thank you...!

greate job...

it is very helpfull...

i have few questions:
1. what aplication was used to create those timelines
(schedule)?
2. what application was used to create diagrams?

3. you are publishing doc&pdf, but i suppose that there
is also
TeX source -- is there any chance to get it?
(you may ask "what for":
i already had to write two documents "plan of a project"
(i dont know english name) and "feasibility report",
and it made me
to learn TeX... OpenOffice/M$Office is terrible if you
try to handle
documents with more then 50 pages....,
so now i'm writing everything in LaTeX -- it's simply
greate, but
i also learn a lot from reading others documents, that
is why i'm
asking you for tex source)

4. such problems with reasonable template for those all
papers have
all my mates from univ.... so here comes next question:
can i publish
your pdf's on my page dedicated to computer science
students on
Technical University in Gdansk/Poland ?

that is all.
once again thanks a lot,
Kacper

Hi Kacper,
Thanks for your interest in the ITMS Documentation.
Since ITMS is licensed under the GPL, the Documentation
Falls under the same
Licensing
http://www.gnu.org/copyleft/gpl.html
We made these documents available so that someone might get
something out of what we did.
You are free to Distribute the Documentation as you wish as
long as you meet the terms in the GPL,
and it would be nice for you to provide a link to our site
(itms.sf.net) for whoever Dowloads the documentation to see.

One thing on the documentation, the SRS was written almost
completely before much of the System's Scope was really
nailed down and many requirements changed when the SDD was
written and the System was implemented. There is an
Appendix to the SRS which discusses some of the differences.

To answer your other questions specifically:
1.The Schedules, If I remember correctly, were done using
Microsoft Project. (In which document do you see the schedules?)
2.Microsoft's Visio was used for the diagrams.

3. I agree, M$Office is no good for large documents, but
that is what we choose to use for the collaboration/change
management features of Word so that many people could make
changes/additions and one person could easilly
merge them all. I'm not sure if there are any Word/PDF -->
TeX translators out there but, no we don't have the TeX source.

4. See above, you are welcome to publish the PDF's.

Let me know if you have any other questions,
-Matt
