The PickWiki is a place where code can be published, but I haven't seen even
one case where code has been taken, enhanced, and put back.
So it doesn't appear to be a good place for collaboration.
Well, I've both improved other peoples' code, and had others improve mine...
BUT.
Pickwiki tends to be a place where people dump proven code that other
people can use. Much of my code I've posted doesn't NEED improvement,
because it had been in production for a while before being posted. The
bugs and stuff had been ironed out.
If people however post code snippets here, or at comp.databases.pick there will
be remarks and modifications within hours.
Well, if people post code asking for help, then other people are eager
to dive in :-)
Attempts at making Pick code collaboration projects have been mostly
unsuccessful. Why?
How can we create a true collaborative project and Would Anyone Come ?
First thing to do - don't try to force a round peg into a square hole.
Pickwiki is a dumping ground for mature code. The u2 list and cdp are
used as a help forum. Neither is suited for or the right place for a
collaborative code project.
Cheers,
