OK, after dicking about for a few hours with git and Mercurial I
decided against using any of them. I keep getting errors or
completely fail to understand how it works. It's just not intuitive
enough to get going quickly.
Moreover, if my goal is to get newcomers up and running quickly, I
don't want to put them through the same pain. I'm quite comfortable
with Subversion and I feel confident to get someone up to speed very
quickly using Eclipse. I don't know how to do that with either git or
Mercurial. It's probably possible. But not by me at this point in time.
So I think I'm just going to use an online Subversion repository
again. To avoid confusion I think it would be better not to use my
existing project I have at dev.java.net. So I'll have to request a
new project. On my own computer I've called it GoPluginFramework but
I'm not sure if that's a good name. Basically what it does is allow
someone to implement a relatively simple engine interface and have it
act as a GTP program. For that you don't really need the whole
project, only the JAR containing the Java application and drop your
own JAR containing an engine implementation in the same directory.
Then I have another project with a very simple random engine, which I
called GoEngineTemplate. I expect this would be copied and then
renamed by people wanting to start their own engine. And a third
project has my reference bot.
So I'm looking for suggestions. Suggestions for a project name(s) and
suggestions how to best organize it. Should I put all three projects
under the same online project, or create separate projects for them?
