new business

• getting to be time to make some decisions
• schedule :
  • Oral presentations due Thu March 4 - one week before spring break
  • ... that's only four weeks from now.
  • First release the week after, before spring break.
  • Think small and clean, not big and bloated
  • After break: evaluate, continue/consolidate/switch
• So next week: descriptions/proposals - individuals or groups
• As part of that, set up a project repository :
  • Specs : What, by when - on project page or wiki
  • Docs : how do I use this thing? what does it do?
  • Code repository / version control : where does it live?
  • Tests / bug tracking : what works and what doesn't?
• Pick an open source repositories (and a version control software) :
  • http://code.google.com/hosting/ (subversion/mercurial)
  • http://sourceforge.net/ (subversion/git/mercurial/bazaar/cvs)
  • https://github.com/ (git)
  • https://launchpad.net/ (bazaar)
  • http://bitbucket.org/ (mecurial)
