Hello! I'm doing a class presentation on open source software, and I've decided to do it on Dia. I've been using it for a while, especially the last three months for database design purpose. I do love the software and prefer this over others, like Visio.
In the class presentation, there are some questions that I have to ask. So here it goes. • Who is the project owner? • How many members are involved directly, and how many peripherally? • How did the project come to be? What is its history? • What does the project try to accomplish? • What other OSS (or commercial) products are similar and how does this project differ from them? • How can someone get involved in the project? • What do they use to track bugs? • What do they use to drive releases? • How often does the project release major and minor revisions? • How do the members of the project communicate? • What tools do they use to manage the source? • What makes this project interesting? Why did you choose it? • How does the project resolve conflicts between members? If someone could kindly answer as much of those as they can and reply to me, [EMAIL PROTECTED], I would greatly appreciate it. In time, after the class is over, I am interested in checking out the code to see if I can contribute in any shape or form. Sincerely, Danny
