[Screenfire-development] 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.

This project is being discontinued. The parent project TradeWeapon is going 
-you guessed it- closed source - commercial.

Thanks and apologies.

[Screenfire-development] Some basic notes.

[chris d. <chr...@ho...>]

Hey guys, slow going, but we are going. I have been working on the
TradeWeapon stuff that this will ride upon (Data structures, real time =
data,
historical data storage etc). I have just uploaded a few scratch notes =
to
the CVS of screenfire. You guys might also want to check out tradeweapon
stuff (anonymous will do) so you can see some of the basic structures =
etc.
=20
CVS, your CVS connections should look like this:
=20
ext:you...@cv...:/cvsroot/screenfire
=20
You should be using TortoiseCVS if you are starting out with CVS. =
Basically
put a CVS or CVSROOT directory on your machine somewhere, I personally =
use
c:\cvs\
=20
In Tortoise preferences you can build this by entering your information =
into
the data in the fields when you try to check out:
=20
Choose secure shell (ext), enter cvs.sourceforge.net for server, enter
/cvsroot/openftp as repository directory, enter username, it will prompt =
for
password.
=20
Under that you can put a root directory for each project like:
=20
c:\cvs\screenfire\
=20
Then you can simply right click on your project directory and CVS =
checkout
the whole project. Basically, you edit files, (tortoise turns edited =
files
red) you can commit updates to them by right clicking and choosing =
update.
You can add files by creating them and right clicking and choosing add, =
and
then commit the document the same way.
=20
The few notes files are 1 ChartNotes, basic structures that I am pretty =
sure
we should create. And ChartNodes-Code.txt, is a bunch of decompiled
interfaces from other projects. We should use these for ideas on basic
structures for our project. I have also included a directory of
SimpleExamplesFromPublicSites. These are other peoples very simple =
examples.
Get them and get farmiliar with some very basic drawing stuff that they =
do.
We will be doing a lot of drawing so it is good to get familiar with =
easy
stuff as we go along. I will be continuing to add notes as I have time =
over
the weekend.
=20
Thanks guys,
Chris

[Qingdong Z. <har...@ya...>]

Hello guys,
 
This is Qingdong Zhou. My nickname is Joe. So if you happen to have a hard time to pronounce my real name, feel free to call me Joe which could be easier for you to remember and pronounce. My user id in Sourceforge is 'smartdot'. 
 
I am a software developer for a small energy consulting firm in Dallas, Texas, USA. I use Visual Basic there for making a living. But I like C# and C++ better. Getting hands-on experience in C# in the real world is the main reason to join this exciting project for me. I believe I will learn a lot from this project and from you guys as well. 
 
Best wishes,
 
Joe

Hey guys, 

 

I have created this mailing list to begin to get us all on the same page with this project. There are 4 of us here currently. Feel free to share any and all info that any of us have exchanged about each other. It is good if we are well acquainted. 

 

The point of this project is to make the 1st .Net (C#) based open source charting project. There are a few good commercial products – very expensive and not really worth it. There are some successful Java based (sure C/C++, Eiffel and a million more) open source projects that do the same thing that we are trying to do – just in those langiages. I also know that it was only a matter of time before some group of developers decided to do this, I am glad that is us. I KNOW that this will be a successful project if we apply our selves for at least a short time.

 

I will be putting up some decompiled interfaces up in CVS this week along with some notes. The intent is to see what others have done and learn from the best approaches in all of them, as far as structure only, not implementation code.

 

I am focusing on the TradeWeapon project in force lately. It is a C# .Net based trading platform –  (see the cvs via the web at sourceforge)

 

   hooks into real time data and direct access brokers
   scanning
   historical data storage
   technical, statistical and quantitative analysis
   and with ScreenFire - Charting

 

ScreenFire will primarily be required to chart

 

   OHLC Bar charts
   Candlestick charts
   Simple line charts
   Scatter diagrams

 

I have recommended to most of you guys to get trial versions of Dundas Chart, Tee Chart, ChartFX etc and see what I am talking about. I have also recommended that you guys get set up with Tortoise CVS so you can use your CVS developer accounts at SourceForge. Do these things and let us know where we all stand. 

 

After we sketch out with notes and emails our basic abstractions (which I have many notes that I will get to posting), we will divide the work and get rolling ASAP. This is very preliminary info and I will be continually sending more as I can transfer my notes and make them readable, and as questions begin to exchange. I suggest each of you send a short message at least to the group to give a little hello, some bio and the like.

 

Thanks again guys – I look forward to working with you all.

 

My Best,

Chris
