Fwd: Revive Tellurium

[Jian Fang]

Hi Ajay,

Thanks for bringing this up. Yes, we need to revive Tellurium so that
we can bring it to the next stage.

I do apologize for not being able to contribute too much time on
Tellurium recently. I spent a lot of time to commute, around
3 hours on road everyday, which seems to be normal for people to work
in NYC. I am afraid that I will not have the time and energy
to take the leader role this time. But I will try my best to provide
helps for transforming knowledge, architecting, and coding.

I would suggest we find a leader from the dev group, who should be
active and be willing to contribute. Once this person has
done a lot of work, I will promote he/her to the project manager role.

Feel free to discuss.

Thanks,

Jian

Hi Jian,

I just chatted with Tariq, and he started testing activities, and i
will join him, but at this point in time, i personally think:

1. We need complete revival of the project, as there is hardly ANY
activity on it
2. We need a leader that will take the team and project into new phase
3. A roadmap of development is required, so we can see and feel the future.
4. I DO believe that Tellurium has potential, but i think it lacks the
"EDGE" so we need to identify what will give it the edge.
5. I propose that we treat this project as agile, and have stadups online
6. Since this is a very developer centric product, so those who are
less of a developer need to have a PATH that can make them at par with
every one else soon.

I did not send this to the group, as i think you should be the one (if
you think appropriate) to send the email to the group.

Thanks,
-Kamal.

Sorry, Kamal. I typed the wrong name.

Jian,

I understand your work situation,

Perhaps it would be good if you first emailed all of us, to get some views on this situation, and then elect / Select  a leader based on the amount and quality of work he/she does. Then call an irc meeting. or a web conference. so we can all vote.

How about Haroon ? He seems quite knowlegable.

Thanks,
-Kamal.

The problem is we don't have developers who can actively work on the project.
The framework structure is complete and we need to fix bugs and make it solid.

Key sub-projects are Tellurium Engine and Tellurium IDE. A lot of Java
Script testing and coding.

Does any one on the DEV group want to help us?

Thanks,

Jian

Thanks for volunteering to help. Please read Tellurium 0.7.0 user
guide and Tellurium wiki pages on

http://code.google.com/p/aost/wiki

, which seems to be messed up by GoogleCode. Then try to take some
issues to fix from

http://code.google.com/p/aost/issues/list

, which is a good way to get familiar with Tellurium. If you have any
questions, please post them here.

Thanks,

Jian

gday all,
I am willing to help too, I am Java guy but I have do a bit of
JQuery and JavaScript in the past too.
I don't use Tellurium at work (yet!) but I am a firm believer in
this sort of testing and framework.
I will take a look at the open issues and pick one. Any suggestions
for a starting issue are most welcome.
cheers
oliver

Thanks Oliver. All users in tellurium developer group should be able
to update wiki/issues and commit code. If not, please let me know.

The best way to get familiar with Tellurium code is to check out the
tellurium code and run the tests in the projects. Then pick some
issues
on the project issue page and try to fix some issues.

After my job change, I really don't have much time to work on
Tellurium any more. My new area is big data processing, which requires
me to put most of my spare time on. But I will provide knowledge
transfer and help maintaining the project as much as I could. Thus, we
need to elect a release manager to help me to get the 0.8.0 release
out. The main tasks include:

1) Fix different issues listed on the tellurium issue page
2) Fix Tellurium IDE and Trump for the latest Firefox
3) Fix Tellurium Maven archetype
4) Update TelluriumWorks IDE
5) Come up with road map
6) Manage the team resources and schedule meetings so that we move
forward on schedule
7) Release 0.8.0

If anyone likes to volunteer, please let me know.

Thanks,

Jian
