Hello, My name is Tolosano on Framasoft's Forums (the famous french-speaking website on Free and OpenSource Softwares) and I contribute to the project, called Veni, Vidi, Libri (http://wiki.framasoft.info/Projets/VeniVidiLibri).
NOTE : Veni, Vidi, Libri speaks about free as in Libre Software. Aims of this project are to promote Free Licenses and make it easier for developpers to change their license to free one. The project search in particular to contact "propietary" developpers in order to * expose them Free Licenses advantages (and inconveniences), that's to say inform them ; * put them in relationship with Framasoft's community, through Forums, in order to meet and exchange with users ; * help and follow them in the differents steps of releasing their software in an Free license ; and moreover understand the reasons why they refuse to do it ; * and to lavish right advices on maintain their projects, and give them differents ways to get new users and contributors. For this project, we wish propose several issues for developpers, and propose them concrete ways in order to get new contributors. Collaborative software development management systems represent a real advantage and offer lots of services, like a powerful network, in order to make it smoother to get visible and reactive project. This is why we wish to ask you some questions, actually we want present each collaborative system, and define it specifically. We informe you that all the project release under GNU FDL license. We began to define the system itself (but available only in french, for the moment) http://wiki.framasoft.info/VeniVidiLibri/Plateformes : Plateformes de développement collaboratif. Here it is the first questions, which are general ones : - When was born Gna ? - What is the goal of this project ? - What is the Philosophy of Gna ? - What is the ''raison d'être'', the essential purpose of Gna in comparison of others collaborative systems ? - How many people take part to Gna's project ? (administrators, holders...) ? - How many projects are registered on Gna ? - How shall you explain to a developper interests to join a collaborative system ? And Gna particularly ? - Are some requisite points on registering on Gna ? If so, what are they ? - What is the average lead time to register a project on Gna ? - How to register ? We have also some technical questions relating to Gna's offers : - Authorized Languages for hosted projects (english, german, french, spannish...) - Disk storage, - Support Languages (PHP4, PHP5, Perl, Python, etc...), - Forum available, - Number and type of dataBase available (MySQL, PostGreSQL), - Number of Email accounts and aliases, - Domain registration, - Managing FTP, - Managing DNS, - Stats. Obviously, you got all the time to answer. We are (me and others collaborators of the project) available if you have any questions about this interview or our project. To conclude, I invite you to complete this interview by adding all the questions I may have forgot, and that you'll judge interessant to give an answer. Thank you for having paid attention to this mail. I hope you will answer. Please feel free to give us your impressions about this mail or our project.
