Hey eike this sounds really interesting. Pair programming is an incredible development tool that in my exerience is not generally used on OSS dev due to developers not being located close together.
We have been discussing using Crucible for Hibernate development for exactly alot of the points you list. Unfortunately I personally do not use eclipe so I myself am not a good fit for this. -- Sent from my Palm Pre st...@hibernate.org http://hibernate.orgEike Starkmann wrote: Hi, I am working in the Institute of Computer Science at the Free University of Berlin where we are creating ways to improve the process of writing software, especially for Free/Open Source Software developers. Our institute develops Saros, an open source Eclipse plug-in that allows two or more developers to work together in real-time developing code, training newcomers, or performing peer reviews. It is similar to Gobby, SubEthaEdit or Google Docs but focuses on programming in Eclipse. As part of my masters thesis I would like to assess how useful Saros is when developing Free/Open Source Software. I already was in contact with other projects and got some good response. It is believed that Saros is particularly well suited to the following development scenarios: * an arbitrary number of developers working together over a network on a common project * distributed pair programming, with an author and an observer who are geographically dispersed * transferring knowledge between developers and introducing new people to the project * joint code reviews * collaborative development where developers are aware of each other and wish to switch easily between working together or independently If you are interested, I would offer you to join Hibernate for a while to give you support while working with Saros. What do you think?
