Hi everyone, The time has come to gather in our tribes and start planning our defence tactics against those nasty insectoid attackers (also known as bugs in some circles).
For anybody that is not yet familiar with the concept of tribes, here is the definition from the wiki: "NetCAT Tribe is a group of NetCAT participants focusing primarily on testing one particular functionality area such as Debugger, PHP or Maven. Tribe members review and keep up-to-date test specifications for their functionality area, then perform full or sanity testing and eventually provide either Go or NoGo recommendation according to a fixed schedule." When you signed up in Synergy, you had the opportunity to choose which tribe(s) to join. According to that information, we have put together the list [1] of tribes with their current members. [1] http://services.netbeans.org/dashboard/web/tribes.php In the NetBeans 9.0 release, not all tribes are unfortunately equally important. This is because the first code donation is focused on the Java SE features, and also because a lot of the new features are around Java 9. So here is the list of most important tribes: * Java Editor (leader: Constantin Drabo) * Debugger * Maven (leader: Jean-François El Fouly) * Unit Testing * Profiler Other tribes that are of some importance for this release are: * DB * Groovy * PHP The rest of the tribes are: * API Support * C/C++ * Java EE * JavaFX * Web Client * Version Control * GUI Builder Each tribe needs a leader - a person that coordinates the efforts of that tribe. A more detailed description of the responsibilities of a tribe leader can be found on the wiki [2].
