Wraith Posted June 22, 2004 Posted June 22, 2004 Okay, some of you may have noticed that I haven't been around much, due to exams.(I know, it's a bit hard to spot, but it's true, I haven't been here! )I plan to do a large-scale recreation of most of XPlode/XPdeploy in early July.However, rather than one person doing everything, I'm going to shift it to a larger dev-base.What this means is, I need:Module codersWebsite maintainer(s)Documentation writer(s)etc.If you feel you're up to doing something, post here or drop me a msg/email. As I had mentioned before, I cannot release the full XPlode source due to licensing.What I've decided to do is build a "core" module, which shall be distributed as a binary. All plugins / display modules etc. will be open-source. I am going to try and break down the modules as much as possible, while still maintaining usability. This will probably mean a week or so for me to split/clean up everything, but should result in something that people can work with.At the moment, I envisage the only closed portion being the XML parser, and the storage mechanism. This means that if you want to write a display module that uses a flash interface and has selectability, there should be no reason why it cannot be done.Look here for more notes in the coming weeks, when I work out the logistics.
dtmunir Posted June 22, 2004 Posted June 22, 2004 wow....welcome back wraith!! I'm all for this NEW Xplode!I think you've been using VC to code, so i dont think i'll be of much help as all im good at is Vb.But if u do want documentation done, then I'm ur man. Count me in!danish
XtremeMaC Posted June 22, 2004 Posted June 22, 2004 I'm up for website/documentationi'm sure killer bee & alanoll will be best suitable for documentation I'd say if they want of course don't have time for C.
GreenMachine Posted June 22, 2004 Posted June 22, 2004 Wraith? Isn't that the ex-Linux user who used to code XPnnnn stuff?Guess I'll have to peek in, and pick up the stray volunteers!As always, I'll be around for free criticism... (Giving, never taking!)Oh yeah, good to see you around, Wraith! Good luck with the last of the exams!
killerbee Posted June 22, 2004 Posted June 22, 2004 hi,for sure i will help in documentation and testing...I haven't programmed since turbo pascal so coding is very very hard for me atm...But i will share my knowledge with you all cyaKiller Bee
Alanoll Posted June 22, 2004 Posted June 22, 2004 I'm up for Website and Documentation...I'm starting to take some course at the UNI on C++ so I may delv into the programming later on.....
Virindi Posted June 24, 2004 Posted June 24, 2004 I'm good for documentation/examples, as well as anything else needed outside of coding (unless you need something done in Perl or (unix) shell scripting. I'm not much of a programmer; just a networking guy )
prathapml Posted June 25, 2004 Posted June 25, 2004 Count me in!!I'm not at my machine now, so I have limited time to think - try figuring out what not many ppl have volunteered to do - and list me in that branch.Website maintainer(s), Documentation writer(s) - easy but time-consuming tasks - count me into these as well!!!!
dtmunir Posted June 25, 2004 Posted June 25, 2004 wow...do i notice a trend here or wt? almost everyone, infact leave out almost, absolutely EVERYONE so far has backed out of coding this is hillarious..or maybe not...maybe im just delirious after havin too much chicken
Wraith Posted June 27, 2004 Author Posted June 27, 2004 Heh. Coding I can handle, but only when I'm on breaks from uni.i.e. All of July.That's why I want to get this done as soon as possible, but after my exams.Whcih start tomorrow. Ugh.Kill me now.
prathapml Posted June 27, 2004 Posted June 27, 2004 ha ha ha ........well, hilarious or delirious - but your observation does seem true.hey wraith,here's a coder offering his services
jdgordon Posted June 27, 2004 Posted June 27, 2004 Wraith: what uni u go to?o and ill help out with the coding (assuming ur doing it in c/c++)
Wraith Posted June 27, 2004 Author Posted June 27, 2004 Ahhhh... some coders. Good, I was hoping there were some smart people hereJust kidding Coders are useful though, helps sometimes when somebody else goes over my code. Sometimes they point out logic errors that I don't see. jdgordon: USyd. 3rd year, B E (Mechatronic/Space Engineering). Getting ready to screw up exams. Yay me
jdgordon Posted June 27, 2004 Posted June 27, 2004 ur a sydney boy... o well.. no 1 is perfect good luck in ur exams
Wraith Posted July 2, 2004 Author Posted July 2, 2004 Okay people, will everyone who is going to help either PM me or email with their own emails, I'm going to be setting up a development mailing list.I'll give more specific details to people later, on the development list.
