Well, I seem to have created a "situation" with HiveMind. My employers, WebCT, have pointed out that, really, HiveMind should have originated officially from their control; despite the weeks of thought that led up to HiveMind, despite the initial work begin done "off company time", the fact is that by ordinary employment standards, I did not have the right to release HiveMind the way I did.
Fortunately, they are being very good natured about it ... what they want is appropriate recognition. I'm keen to give it to them ... it helps both of us (they are hip to the marketing potential of open source contributions, I'm hip to the marketing potential of directly referencing WebCT and Vista). I'm also looking forward to my future as a contractor, when "down time" (between jobs) is down time (not anyone else's property). I'm looking for advice on what's appropriate. I'm thinking of something on the front page of the HiveMind site that clearly details the origination of HiveMind within WebCT. Something a bit more substantial than the blurb on the XMLBeans site that points back to BEA, I think. Any ideas? -- Howard M.
