hello. Keith Gallagher here, software engineering faculty at Florida Inst. of Technology. This coming term I am teaching an advanced course in software maintenance and evolution; upper division undergraduates and graduate students are enrolled. (10-12 at this point)
I'm looking for a course project, something I can set the whole class on to work on as a team. I am looking for something that is mature, with lots of releases, has a large and ongoing user community, and, of course, has lots of "issues" that need to be addressed! I have contacted Brad Kuhn, and old student of mine, and he suggested GNUCash as a possibility. All of the students in the class are familiar with open source rubrics and guidelines and use of appropriate repositories. But before I send a collection of people to meddle in the work, I would like to have the approval of the community, and any guidelines or suggestions (or help) that you might have or wish to offer. For instance: should we do this is a group? Should we do this is a collection of individuals? Etc? Etc.? The caveat is that once the term is over, it is highly unlikely that any of the individuals involved will continue to contribute. But I can guarantee, yes guarantee, that we won't leave it worse than we found it ;-) and that every issue that is tackled will be = thoroughly= vetted and approved before a merge is requested. thanks for listening. -k http://web2.fit.edu/faculty/profiles/profile.php?tracks=kgallagher http://cs.fit.edu/~kgallagher/ _______________________________________________ gnucash-user mailing list gnucash-user@gnucash.org https://lists.gnucash.org/mailman/listinfo/gnucash-user ----- Please remember to CC this list on all your replies.
