Collabarating Code with Crossrider

[shmuelix]

Hey ShitfSpace,

First I would like to let you know how excited I am about ShiftSpace
joining the Crossrider community.
Our vision and goal is to change the way developers are writing
extensions which will work seamlessly on all browsers.

As I understand you are many developers working on one project, and
what i'd like to know is what is the best way for you to work with
Crossrider Apps.

The App Edit Panel does not support collaboration. Many users can log
in and view the app, and also save it, but they will step on each
other toes, making changes by other people obsolete. In the future we
plan to support multi users app editing as part of our editing
platform, but as we are a bootstrap startup with limited resource we
want to concentrate on other, more basic, things right now.

Some quick solution suggestions i'd like to mention:

1. Open one account and make sure the code is updated there by one
person at a time only.
2. GIT - We can define a git lib structure and you will give us a URL
to clone. We will give you the Crossrider public key to auth on your
end. So all you got to do is click a 'Publish From GIT' button from
the Edit Panel, and on the server side we'll use the code from your
git repo. (same goes for images not just code). -- this is not yet
implemented, just a suggestion for you to think about.


What I would like to hear from you is suggestions for more ways to
pull this off and what will be the best solution for you.

Thanks for the input, and welcome aboard to the Crossrider community.

Thanks Shmueli,

I think the "publish from GIT" scheme is a smart one.

You might also want to add "publish from SVN" for the less developed ;)

David? Dan? Do you want to take the lead on this?

Shmeueli, let's continue this thread on the dev list (rather than the user list)

And thanks for the welcomes, we're equally excited for this collaboration.

וגם פורים שמח

:)
