Regarding Wiki, here's my thoughts: A lot of the old stuff is probably not worth updating, and should probably be put into some "obsolete" area.
As far as team planning goes, I'd like to encourage people to be aggressive and fearless in pursuing changes. With some caveats: 1. Things that are possible now should remain possible unless the team agrees otherwise in a more formal decision making format. 2. Long term things you're working on should be described on a wiki page - I think a page per developer would be the best way to organize it. That way, if I want to work on X, I can check everyone's page to find out if anyone else has already started working on it. 3. Make an effort to write unit tests. I've started making PackageTest classes to collect all unit tests from a package together, and I think it is a better option than the inner classes I've been using. 4. If you pick a large area/idea to work on, start with some refactoring as it helps you learn the code and pick up on something of the more subtle aspects of what's going on before you dive in. I think that attitude will result in the best combination of a)getting stuff done, and b)getting stuff done right. If someone starts going off the deep end, someone should notice it from the wiki page and draw the team's attention to it. So, I suggest everyone make a wiki page for themselves (see: http://nagoya.apache.org/wiki/apachewiki.cgi?JMeterDevelopment) and make some notes about what you're thinking about doing, and what you are actually doing. And, even for projects that several people will want input on, there should still be a project leader on who's development page the information would go (ie, everyone should feel free to edit everyone else' wiki pages). ====================================== On another note, I think I'd like to make a release branch of 1.9 so that simple bug fix releases can be made without impacting new development. I would very much like anyone who does bug fixes to make their fixes to BOTH branches, so that no merge ever needs to be done. -Mike On 12 Aug 2003 at 17:48, Jordi Salvat i Alabart wrote: > > > BAZLEY, Sebastian wrote: > > Aside: some of these e-mail trails are getting quite long - how about using > > the Wiki to collate the information? > > > > Not at this stage -- we did that in the past and was fun, but not very > successful.
