[Micro Autocode] 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.

[Micro Autocode] ANN: 2003-11-02 released

[Richard U. <ri...@so...>]

I have just uploaded release 2003-11-02, which identifies itself as 1.0.3. The 
web pages have also been updated. I notice the download count has jumped to a 
massive 4. So someone must be showing an interest! ;-)

Since the last release bugfixes have shown a marked decline. I am now finding 
bugs exclusively in my autocode source rather than the compiler.

I am interested in any comments you might have. Drop a line or two to the 
list, you don't have to be subscribed.

[Micro Autocode] ANN: recent updates

[Richard U. <ri...@so...>]

Three releases for bugfixes since the initial sourceforge release.
I am now using MicroAutocode for a real-life project myself. With my tester's 
hat on, the compiler is still having teething problems, but nothing that 
can't get fixed fast. It is still in Alpha state - these things are expected, 
but it is ready for others to try out.

I am interested in any comments you might have. Drop a line or two to the 
list, you don't have to be subscribed.
