Responses to Intro IRC Activity Questions 1. People interact by typing statements followed by an <ENTER> 2. Communication is linear, informal, and a combination of one-to-one and one-to-many 3. Terms following the pound sign (#) are commands (e.g. #topic, #info, #startmeeting, etc.) 4. Highlighting a person's name in blue helps draw that person's attention so a message doesn't get lost in the traffic.
Responses to Project Anatomy Activity Questions 1. Serving as a developer appears to have the most up-front investment in time before one can be contributing to the Sahana Eden project. There are suggestions for things to be done for both developers and designers. Developers contribute by creating and modifying code. Testers run test cases to help increase reliability whereas designers contribute to the appearance and front-end experience of the user. In the SugarLabs project, testing is done under the developer role. Developers and designers serve similar roles between the two.
2. The tracker feature is handled directly on the Sahana web site whereas the SugarLabs version is located in GitHub. Various reports are available on issues identified in the Sahana project. Active issues can be defects, enhancements, or tasks. The entries list the following: summary, component, version, type, owner, status, and date created.
3. The Sahana release cycle and roadmap indicate the planned releases and respective features to be contained within each. I wonder whether or not this project is still active as some of the content appears to be outdated or the project is far behind original intended schedule.
