Hello again, and let me start once more by thanking everyone who bore with me until now. The answers you gave me so far helped a great deal for me to understand the details of this project's development as an example of open source processes and their underlying structures. In the final round of this extended interview I would like to conclude with a few questions which move a bit outside the box and beyond the horizon. ;)
As I explained in one of my earlier posts, I am researching open source development processes in comparison to other approaches of developing software, and trying to find out how they relate to each other in different aspects. Besides examining those aspects, however, I am also interested in your opinion about the process. Do you see similarities to agile methods of development, or to the well-defined processes of software engineering, in your approach? Where can these similarities be found, and where do they end? Finally, may I ask you for a quick outlook into the future of XWiki? Which chances and challenges do you see coming up? In what direction would you like the development of XWiki to go in the following years? Also, do you have any points you would like to additionally mention, some vital aspect of the process I failed to address, or a special emphasis on anything you feel we did not talk about enough? I am glad for further hints and comments. :) Best regards, Martin _______________________________________________ devs mailing list [email protected] http://lists.xwiki.org/mailman/listinfo/devs
