Wraith Posted April 23, 2004 Posted April 23, 2004 Okay people, as I've hinted at earlier, I'm going to move XPlode to an open-source model, this should help continue development while I'm otherwise occupied with university and work.Project home page:http://sourceforge.net/projects/xplode/I'll move the main XPlode site to the sourceforge http://xplode.sourceforge.net/ soon.What I would like is a bunch of people to help with certain things, code cleanup, docs, website etc. as I have less than4 hours a week to devote to XPlode. Hardly enough to update stuff with any frequency.I'm going to try and do a large cleanup of the code now, before I go out tonight (radiohead concert ) so hopefully I'll have put XPlode up onto CVS by tonight.Beware tho, there will be virtually no comments - I have no real time to put them in. If someone else wanted to be extremely nice, then you people might get some.... ;-)Anyways, post here if you want to help, and I'll see what might be done.
Alanoll Posted April 24, 2004 Posted April 24, 2004 I'll have to look around the code, before I volunier for anything. Gotta understand before I can help
Zaheer Posted April 25, 2004 Posted April 25, 2004 I'm going to try and help with some documentation. I also don't mind helping with a website. And soon, I will probably also have loads of "skins"/graphics for XPLode!
Alanoll Posted April 25, 2004 Posted April 25, 2004 I'll help with documentation, once I finish my other couple projects and test season has passed (2 weeks to go)
lexi Posted April 25, 2004 Posted April 25, 2004 I'll see what I can do to help if you're interested Wraith... I can help with Docs and Website, probably a bit with coding too...
Wraith Posted April 25, 2004 Author Posted April 25, 2004 I'm thinking I'll postpone it until SP2 is out.I have heaps of work to do, so it may have ended up happening then anyways.I'm going to put out a 1.1.0 today (no excuses from me now, it WILL be done) and hopefully that will tide people over until 1.2.0 + SP2 + SourceForge,This time I'm going back to the old "comment the XML for docs" routine. No time otherwise.
Wraith Posted April 26, 2004 Author Posted April 26, 2004 Just as a "teaser", I've uploaded the shortcut plugin to CVS - it's from XPlode 1.1.0, with the new plugin SDK. It should serve as a suitable reference for plugins for XPlode 1.1.0 and onwards.The web-based CVS doesn't seem to have it yet, but you can checkout the XPlodeShortcutPlugin2 module via proper means.Check the sourceforge.net page for a howto.Or, for the inept or lazy:cvs -d:pserver:anonymous@cvs.sf.net:/cvsroot/xplode checkout XPlodeShortcutPlugin2EDIThttp://cvs.sourceforge.net/viewcvs.py/xplo...hortcutPlugin2/
Alanoll Posted April 26, 2004 Posted April 26, 2004 cvs -d:pserver:anonymous@cvs.sf.net:/cvsroot/xplode checkout XPlodeShortcutPlugin2stupid question.....Wha?? where is the cvs command from? is that at a DOS prompt? IE window?I'm tired, and not thinking, so thought I'd ask.
Wraith Posted April 26, 2004 Author Posted April 26, 2004 It's one of those unix things Try looking for WinCVS.
Alanoll Posted April 26, 2004 Posted April 26, 2004 gotcha.....i fugured it was something like that.....
Zebra Posted April 26, 2004 Posted April 26, 2004 Count me in if you need help with the easy stuff too I have little coding experience but with the website/docs/etc I should be possible to give a hand.Did anyone allready start on the docs for 1.10? Is there a roadmap/todo list for the project? Z//
