Hello,
I had an observation that most "in-the-same-thread" bugs are just
wrong decisions. So I came up with an idea of "decision-less"
programming - by limiting decisions to loops or environment checks
only. At my previous employer, I had even tested that step-by-step
guideline developing a ~20 kloc code. I was very successful in writing
nearly decision free, nearly bug free and very extensible software.
Now I want to demonstrate those steps to all by adopting a project. My
needs for such a project are as follows:
1. Languages: C/C++ or Tcl/Expect - languages I know the best. I'd
rather prove concepts than to learn a new language
2. Complexity: Modest. should be able to overhaul the code four times
in three to six months with help of a couple of fresh engineers
3. Popularity: Somewhat popular or at least some group willing to try
next version for some features - so that when the idea succeeds, it
generates interest in other projects
4. License: Any freeware license that lets me (drastically) modify and
release the code
5. Area of solution: (preferably) SW Eng tool, board game
6. Support: Dying otherwise - so that we don't waste time in
transforming a changing version
Can someone suggest such projects?
Thanks in advance,
-Bhushit
