There is positive feedback on Tuscany from J. Aaron who conducted Asia OS Tuscany Code fest session [1]. Some comments are:
"One interesting observation was that the Tuscany team (students) got started faster thanks to good project documentation and fewer software prerequisites. " "However, they (students) ended up picking a bug that might have been a little too tricky given the time (2 days) we had to solve it. ..." ... "Frameworks can only do so much in helping to eliminate the fundamental costs of the Java development cycle..." The "framework" topic raises the question if there is a way to further enhance development documentation and simplify the environment to help new developers come on board quickly? I'd like to propose that we create a list of what might be useful/helpful. It would be great to hear the challenges that new developers might be running into. Are you getting what you need to get started? If not, what would help. Here is my observation for what would help me. Please add. - Mid level module structure for SCA and key debug break points (entry and exit) for core and extensions using a simple sample as an example [1] http://cubiclemuses.com/cm/blog/2008/codefest.html ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Luciano Resende <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Date: Mar 10, 2008 12:20 PM Subject: Re: Asia Open Source Symposium Code Fest is looking for help, was Fwd: Low hanging bugs for students To: [email protected] FYI, here is a post [1] from J.
