RE: [eclipse.org-architecture-council] Eclipse Development Process
|
Since I encouraged David to kick off this conversation, let me explain :-)
I agree vehemently that there is no such thing the single software
development process that will be suitable for every project at Eclipse.
However, I do think that there are many projects that would gladly take a
little guidance if it was offered.
So rather than a methodology, could people imagine a "top 10" list of
process recommendations maintained by the AC? The goal is not to be
intrusive. The goal is to be helpful.
Gunnar's point about mentoring is correct. But if every mentor has to repeat
the same "top 10" list to each project, wouldn't it be a little more
effective to write it down?
