| <p>The <a href="/vtp/">Voice Tools Project</a>. team actively took our advice |
| and has become more public (they're currently #2 on the dashboard). Ward will |
| send a thank you.</p> |
| |
| <p>We reviewed the response from the <a href="/laszlo/">IDE for Laszlo</a> project. |
| Amy Muntz explained that they've been actively working on those things (being |
| more public), but they have yet to actually get it together and that it was |
| harder than they thought to jump through all the hoops to get started. We noted |
| that we're not seeing that struggle in public. Amy volunteered to prototype a |
| checklist. Ward will talk with Amy again.</p> |

| |
| <p> As |
| with all project reviews, we started by looking at the public evidence of the |
| project: mailing lists, newsgroups, bugzilla, website, project plan, CVS |
| repository, etc. We noticed that there is no discussion on the dev mailing list; |
| the website does not list team members nor project leaders nor milestones nor a |
| project plan; there are only two bugs in the bugzilla, neither of which has been |
| responded to by the development team; most of the CVS files were committed three |
| months ago and have not been touched since; there are no integration or |
| milestone builds </p> |
| |
| <p>We reviewed the <a href="/ptp/">Parallel Tools Project</a>. As |
| with all project reviews, we started by looking at the public evidence of the |
| project: mailing lists, newsgroups, bugzilla, website, project plan, CVS |
| repository, etc. We found that there was a small developer community and that |
| there was a big install "cliff" to overcome in order to use the tools. |
| We suggest that they make it easier to install, either through tools (an |
| installer) or through detailed checklists and instructions. We also found that |
| they need to schedule meetings in advance (a time, a call-in number) so that |
| others can attend (if they want), and that they need to update their project |
| website to be more transparent to the larger eco-system. Cliff volunteered to be |
| the PTP mentor.</p> |
| |
| <p>No meeting next week, so on the 27th we will review <a href="/higgins/">Higgins</a></p> |
