[Mvc4h-discussion] 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.

[Mvc4h-discussion] CVS Access and other stuff

[Joe M. <Joe...@vi...>]

Hey guys...

=20

Just a quick note to let you know that I've submitted a support request
to the sourceforge.net people in order to get CVS issues sorted out.
The issue is that (for some reason) we are unable to commit, add, or
release (delete) files from CVS.  Hopefully this will be resolved
quickly.  I'll keep you informed.

Now, on to other stuff.

Nikhil is looking at stripping Jasper (the apache jsp parser/engine) out
of tomcat.  I think it's developed as a separate project, so this should
be fairly easy. =20

Rodrigo, how are you doing studying the package?  Do you feel that you
have a general sense of what's going on?  If so, can you inform us
whether or not you're using eclipse as your development platform?  If
not, please download eclipse version 3.0 Milestone 7 from
http://www.eclipse.org <http://www.eclipse.org/> .  This is the version
of eclipse I'm using, and it's the latest version.  On a related note,
it would be ideal if we came up with a strategy for our development
environments.  I normally favor everyone developing on (as close to) the
same environment as possible.  What are your thoughts?  Should we
standardize on a complimentary software package?  I have been using
MySql and various versions of Tomcat on both Linux and WinXP. =20

Are we all in agreement about using mvc4h as the underlying engine for a
portlet implementation?  If so, please download and review the examples,
API, and specifications for the javax.portlet package.  These can all be
found at or through:

Nikhil had suggested doing an example project (in my opinion ideally
distributed as a .war file).  Perhaps you guys have ideas about this?
Let's get the discussion rolling!

Thanks fellas!
