Interest in Open Source project?
Michel Bergijk
After a few years of not working with Java, but keeping track with
developments, I want to start brushing up my programming skills. I was
thinking about a project where a webserver application needs to be
developed.
Are there any takers?
Should I invest my time in an Apache or Sourceforge project?
-- General plan --
Webserver application
Target platform: Apache/Jacarta/Tomcat
-- Description --
A webserver application where other applications can be plugged into.
These applications need to be developed so the webserver application can
be used for specific situations. IMO this means that the interfaces to
the outer world need to be standardised.
-- Possible interfaces --
To a RDBMS (a backend system)
To a Bluetooth/Midlet application (a frontend system)
-- General goal --
Learning to work with the Java programming language
Offering an project environment where you can learn about:
- coding in Java
- working within an project
- experiencing all facets of a development project (requirements
engineering, designing, coding, versioning, testing, etc).
-- Target audience --
- Project leaders
- Sofware engineers
- Testers
- Webdesigners
- Webmasters
- ...
Let me hear what you think about this idea. I am open for any comment.

Just a note that c.l.j.programmer has a wider audience.
If you decide to make a post to c.l.j.p., *please* have
the sense to mention the post here..

He can also reply to his own post with the precise contents of the original,
and cross that one over to .programmer. It may be one of the few ways to
keep as few dual conversations as possible.

Given your inexperience, you might join an existing project and learn
from the more experienced team members.

That can be a hit and miss approach as well. I've seen a number of
local projects recently where the team is still effectively writing J2SE
1.2 code.

These projects typically let anyone do a CVS read-only checkout of the
project. You can look it over too see if the people seem to know what
they are doing. You might as well pick a team where you will learn
better habits.

Hi All,
I posted this message to comp.lang.java.programmer, with the same
header, and a slightly altered body.

Hi Andrew,
I posted the same question to c.l.j.p to.

This is a no no. I fear you will be virtually flogged. What you are
supposed to do is select one newsgroup. See
http://mindprod.com/jgloss/newsgroups.html for how to select the
optimal one. For only a mild flogging select two and post the same
message at the same time to two newsgroups in the header. This way
people with decent newsreaders will see the message only once. The
problem with posting to two places is the conversation fragments into
two places, with some going to one, some to the other and some to
both.

ARRRRRRRRRRRRRG.
This is why I was hoping to avoid most of this business by having him reply
to his own post with a post that cross-posts. Not this multi-posting
hoo-haa.

In the end all I got was comments on this being the wrong newsgroup, and
not exactly using the correct way of posting the same message to another
newsgroup. Appologies for both, but no takers from others.
