[Quickget-develop] Hi

[steve c. <pre...@ya...>]

Hello team,
I am Steve Chang from Taiwan.  I am glad to join the team. This is my =
first project since I joined the open source community. Recently, I read =
a book---Succeeding with Open Source(ISBN:0321268539). The book metions =
about the model to assess the maturity of the open source project and =
the trend of the software industry. It's great for me, so I registered =
an account in the sourceforge to learn more about Open Source.

I work for a government institute in a IT department now. I have around =
3 year of experience with Java, certified with SCJP last year. My job is =
at ERP domain. The project integrates the systems via Web Service and is =
implemented with J2EE Concept(3 tiers). I also design the system with =
rational rose.

The goal to join quickget project is to make friends with more skilled =
guy and to know how to collarborate a software project with skilled man =
around the world via internet.

Regards,
Steve

[Pratik B. <pra...@gm...>]

Hi! All,

I thought, I would introduce myself as well. My name is Pratik
Bhavsar. I graduated with M.S in computer science last year. Now, I am
working in the IT department of an Insurance company. I have developed
my love for java over the last 4 years but at work, they use Microsoft
technology :-( . I want to contribute to this project to keep my
interest in Java and learn new Java technologies. I am JCP and SCWCD
certified.

This is my first open source project working with a geographically
distributed team. I am looking forward to working with such a highly
interactive team.

Cheers!

:-)

Materials-Mngmt functions. I am currently working with
a US based s/w service provider called Rapidigm and am
located in southern California. Prior to this I worked
in India with Infosys Technologies. I have about 1
year of Java experience and 3 years exp with
object-oriented ABAP/4 (SAP's proprietary dev

[Quickget-develop] Hello everybody.. A bit of coffee...

[Rohan R. <roh...@ya...>]

Hi everyone,

I hope all others are as excited about this venture as
I am, after reading Aegir Sun's opening e-mail.
Something about myself to start off...

I am Rohan Ranade, working currently in Philips
Software Center, Bangalore. I have worked in Philips
for nearly 1 year during which I have written a
controller for Philips' video decoding chips, and also
maintained the RTSP / RTP protocol stacks for
streaming MPEG4 + ASF data over the net. I will be
shifting shortly to Sun Microsystems, Bangalore. My
interests include reading books, quizzing and watching
movies. Also, I find it interesting to read about new
software development approaches like XP (I wonder if
we can give that a shot here :-) ).

I have a few suggestions to offer based on my
experience with past projects:

1. We should go in for the apache voting system to
decide which person takes up a particular task. To aid
this, every development team member should mention his
skillsets and interests. More on this at
httpd.apache.org/dev/voting.html

2. We should have a blog where each developer can
write about what he/she is working on currently. Apart
from serving as a status update tool, it is also a
nice way to have some team spirit in a diverse team.

3. Each task should have a main implementor + 1 backup
person who should interact with the implementor. I
believe we will churn out better code this way.

Your comments/criticism on the above suggestions are
most welcome.

Let's get rolling!

Regards,
Rohan

<font face="Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif">Hi, members:<br>
<br>
First of all, thanks for your interests in the quickget project. Now we
have 13 developers in this project. And we may schedule the next steps
to implement our product now.<br>
<br>
First of all, let me introduce myself since some newbies have not
received my first letter. I am Aegir Sun from China. And now I am
working for Sun China. My job is to develop a testing framework for CNS
testing, before that I am a developer to develop installer for JES.
Before joining Sun, I was a developer in Lucent. And I had intern
experience in BEA systems and Fujitsu. That is me, a young man from
China. How about you? Can you share some background information to the
team?<br>
<br>
These days, I am working on the web site. Since we need collaboration,
we need document the base ideas for this project. And we need document
some important information(such as the goal for the project, code
conventions we used in the project)&nbsp; to help the new developers to join
the project. I just finish half of this work at
<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://quickget.sourceforge.net">http://quickget.sourceforge.net</a>. And you can access the website to see
the goal and some other information from this website.<br>
<br>
Now some of you have downloaded the source code for the project. And
you may find the code is some buggy. It really needs your improvements.
And I will list the tasks at sourceforget.net and you can pick them up
to your plate<span class="moz-smiley-s1"><span> :-)&nbsp; </span></span>I
think the principle for identifying tasks is manageable. In my mind, a
huge task will make the developers feel boring and it also can not be
managed. So I will basically make the task smaller so everybody can
finish it in one-two weeks. The tasks will basically be split into two
catagories: GUI and model implementation. And you can choose the task
as you wish.<br>
<br>
As the website shows, we have lots of objectives in this project. And
we will implement them step by step. We should have milestones to check
our progress. As I think, we should implement the project in the
following procedures(from the easy to the hard).<br>
1. Basic http download support<br>
2. Basic ftp download support<br>
3. Some advanced configuration parameters<br>
4. P2P functions and stream protocol download support<br>
<br>
I think we are open source fans. And I get a lot from the open source
community. I think we should be open in our project. If anyone see
anything inappropriate(from technical to non-technical), please feel
free to raise it. And we can discuss it and get a conclusion. I think
in this way, we can get the most from this project.<br>
<br>
Any ideas? Please send your ideas to this email
alias(<a class="moz-txt-link-abbreviated" href="mailto:Qui...@li...">Qui...@li...</a>). And everybody will see
it and it will help us to make things better.<br>
<br>
Regards,<br>

[Quickget-develop] Quickget Project's Introduction

[Aegir S. <Aeg...@Su...>]

Hi, all:

Thanks for all your interests in this project. And welcome to join this 
project!

Now let me introduce myself first. My name is Aegir Sun (Chinese name: 
Yang Sun). I am a Chinese. Now I am working in Sun as a regular 
employee. My job is to develop test framework for the CNS (customer 
network service), before that role, I am a developer in JES installer 
project.  I have using Java for about 5 years. And I am very interested 
in learning new technologies in Java and using design patterns to 
isolate the changes in my code. I have also worked for Lucent as a java 
developer (0.7 yr). And I have 2 years intern experience in Fujitsu and 
BEA systems. That's all about me.

To the quickget project, I think we should support the following 
functionalities in our final product:
1. Cross platform (using java as the development language basically 
solve this problem)
2. Multi-threaded downloading for http / ftp
3. Stop/Resume task
4. P2P support
Every items above seems to have lots of sub-requirements. And it really 
needs great work.

In order to avoid too many objects which may overwhelming us, we should 
divide these objects into several steps and we should try to implement 
them step by step.

I think we should support http multi-threaded downloading in the first 
step. And I think it includes many gui swing works and http related java 
programming. Which part do you prefer? Please write to this alias. And 
now the project is open for new hire, and I will assign the tasks to 
everyone in the next week after the hire closed.

For the project CVS, you now can access the cvs according to the 
guideline (http://sourceforge.net/cvs/?group_id=139656). And I have put 
the prototype in the project's cvs. You can check out the source and use 
eclipse to compile and run it. But it is some buggy and lacks of 
exception handling. It needs further improvement. Some screen shots are 
available at http://sourceforge.net/project/screenshots.php?group_id=139656.

That's all about me and this project. How about you? Any questions, 
please feel free to ask in this email alias.

Best Regards,
Aegir
